Disabled Outcast

We all go through life with hurt and shame. How do you attempt to hide from or wash away your own shame? Pastor James Granger reminds us that whatever you’re facing in life right now, God has not abandoned you; He is present with you in the midst of it. God’s grace cuts through the

Rich Young Ruler

We all are searching for meaning and fulfillment. What is that one thing in your life that you hope to receive or maintain in order to fully live? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen reminds us that whatever we try jamming into our hearts, it won’t fulfill the eternal longing that we have. Jesus is the only

Sisters

Jesus shows us that God is present with us in the midst of our deepest losses, and through the resurrection of Jesus we truly have eternal hope in the midst of the very real pain we are experiencing in the moment. Have you or someone you know experience loss? Pastor James Granger walks us through

Sinners At The Party

We all have an “us” group and a “them” group in our lives. Who are the people in your life that you view as others? Pastor Tony Pyle challenges us to look on those who are different with compassion rather than condemnation. No one is beyond the hope of the Gospel, and just like Jesus,

Demon Possessed Man

An encounter with Jesus will change someone. When we become Christians, Jesus transforms who we are and makes us new. If a demon possessed man could come to the feet of Jesus then there certainly isn’t a person who can’t! There is nothing that Jesus can’t restore, heal, make new in your life. If you

Jesus And The Samaritan Woman

Jesus And The Busy Sisters

Jesus And The Governor

When we submit to the kingship of Jesus Christ, we open our lives as a dwelling place for His Kingdom. Have you found healing in the truth that Jesus, the innocent lamb, came to die on the cross for our sins? Young Yi reminds us that in Jesus, the guilt and the shame caused by

A New Path

Sometimes the more we obsess over following God’s law, the more it can take us away from what God calls us to do. When you sin, do you tend create more rules for yourself, or do you lean into God’s grace? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen challenges us to turn to Jesus and double down on

Looking Different

As followers of Jesus, we must necessarily look different from the rest of the world. Does your spending, schedule, and family stand out as different from those around you? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen challenges us as followers of Jesus to focus our lives first on Jesus and let our hope in Him influence everything else.

Repent and Renew

How are you seeking humility as you follow God with your life? Brendan Finnerty challenges us to acknowledge and confess our sins before God and people, remembering that as we bring our sin into the light, it loses power over us.

The Savior Of The Stiff Necked Community

Considering sin, we often think about our personal failings or how others have sinned against us, but how often do we consider the sins of our collective community? Pastor Justin Detmers reminds us that sin can be a communal problem and we are called to repent of it. When we see God for who He

The Savior Of The Stiff-Necked Community

Considering sin, we often think about our personal failings or how others have sinned against us, but how often do we consider the sins of our collective community? Pastor Justin Detmers reminds us that sin can be a communal problem and we are called to repent of it. When we see God for who He

Restored Hearts

Both as individuals and as a community, we tend to gloss over our sin. Pastor James Granger encourages us to take a step back and take time to evaluate our lives before sin creeps in and takes over. When we work toward restoration in our lives and interact regularly with God’s Word, He will remind

Remember The Joy In The Lord

Sometimes looking to the future or remembering the past can improve our feelings about the present. How does remembering what God has done, and will do, for you help you serve Him faithfully now? Pastor Mark Brett reminds us that we are completely forgiven, we are declared righteous, we are free, and as we reflect

Head, Heart, Hands

When we truly understand God’s Word, it has the power to change what we believe and how we live our lives. How has reading Scripture changed you? Pastor Tony Pyle encourages us to spend time really getting to know God through His Word, and allowing it to change how we view ourselves and others.

Singular Focus

We all face challenges and opposition in life. Where do you look when faced with a challenge? Pastor James Granger reminds us to first look up and seek out God first when we have hardship around us. Jesus Christ is to be the one great focus of our lives.

Dealing With Widespread Outcry

It can be easy to look out for your own interests and gain, but Jesus simplified everything for us when He said love the Lord and love your neighbor as yourself. How do you look at others when you’re in a position of leadership or power? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen calls us as followers of

Pray. Build. Repeat.

What are the voices that you regularly hear in your life? How do you decide which voices to listen to when some are discouraging and some are encouraging? Pastor James Granger reminds us that when we choose to listen to the voice of God, we can find encouragement to continue moving forward with Christ. We

Look Up, Look Forward

What does it mean for you to look up to Jesus? No matter what is in front of us, we can set our eyes first on our Lord in prayer. Pastor Tony Pyle reminds us that Jesus not only offers us salvation from our sin through His death on the cross, but He provides us

Stronger Together

The church is one body with many members; no member is dispensable. Can we as a church stand out in reflecting unity rather than division? Young Yi reminds us that we are all fellow saints who are experiencing the grace of the Gospel. Through the liberating Gospel, we can strive for unity with one another

A Well Prayed Plan

So many of us find ourselves displaced or uncertain about what our next steps are in life. Do you bring your plans to God in prayer? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen points out that Nehemiah spent time both in prayer and in planning as he set out to rebuild Jerusalem. We can look to that example

Renewal Requires Repentance

Trouble, Shame, And Restoration

The Priority Of Prayer

How do you respond to difficult news? Do you turn inward, consult friends, journal, try to plan a way forward? Pastor Tony Pyle reminds us that in his mourning and lament, Nehemiah goes to God first, and challenges us to do the same. Pain and suffering is not a result of an absent God, but

Praying Together

Our prayers are not only a personal thing. Do you join together with others in prayer? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen wraps up our series by reminding us that as followers of Jesus, we can collectively pray prayers of worship, of petition, and of repentance.

Meet Him There

Just The Two Of Us

Private Prayer In The Presence Of God

It’s common to seek out God for what He gives, rather than seeking Him for Himself. How do you view your personal prayer? Pastor Justin Detmers shares that private prayer is not ultimately about the requests of the individual; it’s about being in the presence of God. We, as children of God, should never hesitate

Prayerfully Reading The Bible

Prayer And The Bible

Sometimes prayer comes easy and sometimes we have no idea what to pray. How can you let God’s Word shape the language and content of your prayers? Pastor James Granger points us to Jesus’ pattern of prayer and encourages us that when we pray God’s Word, we’re praying truth. No matter what kind of prayer

Why Pray?

We often go through seasons of temptation and anguish, but we don’t need to go through them alone. Where do you turn in the midst of your tough seasons? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen kicks off our Talking With God series reminding us that it’s ok when you are weak, because God is strong. We have

Gods Kindness and Severity

The only person who can fix you and fix this world is Jesus. Yet why do we often try to fix both ourselves and others? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen, reminds us that we are all, as Christ followers, grafted into the root of Jesus through faith in Him. It is all through grace and not

Jesus Is Lord

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is unlike any other lordship in this world. Who do you follow? Who do you have faith in? Who have you given your allegiance to? Young Yi reminds us that in submitting to the righteousness of God, we are submitting both to His Lordship and to reflecting a gentle and

Beautiful Feet

Gospel Simplicity

When Clay Meets Stone

Have you experienced the love of God directed at you when you were suffering? As Christians, we should be brokenhearted when sin ravages the world, because we know its devastating results, not just here, but eternally. Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen challenges us to share the love of Christ to a world that feels unloved, to

Our Burden, God’s Mercy

In God’s mercy, we are given the gift of new life with Him. Is it fair that God chooses who He saves? Pastor Tony Pyle reminds us that God, in His wisdom, works in ways that are according to His will, not according to our will. Yet God chooses to use us in bringing others
