The Best Recipe

Does it ever feel like things in your life aren't going well? Like all you get in life is a bunch of lemons? You're not alone. In fact, one of the most remarkable individuals from Israel's history faced unthinkable lemons. Join us as we examine his life and learn some valuable lessons.

This One Thing I Know

In the midst of everything going on in our country right now, we need to figure out how to move forward. This message presents the way that followers of Jesus can help be a part of the healing process of our nation.

Easter Memories

Easter Sunday is typically a day we think of with joy and hope, and rightly so. This year, however, in the height of our current pandemic, many of us are grieving. Did you know the first Easter wasn’t met with joy and hope but with grief? In light of that, there’s a lesson we can […]

Goodbye Sacred Places

Finding Hope While Weathering the Unexpected

Do you find yourself in the midst of uncertainty? The truth is, life is full of things that are unexpected. But rather than giving up hope, followers of Jesus have an opportunity to choose something important.

Uncertainty

Select Groups

In nearly every religious system there are select groups of people who receive special privileges – usually at the expense of others.  But when Jesus came to earth, he brought an end to this practice.

Goodbye Select Groups

Keep Track

Money is kind of like a toddler: if you turn your head away for just a minute, you quickly lose track and have a mess on your hands. But it’s not only important to keep track of money to prevent yourself from having a mess on your hands. There’s a greater reason why we need to know where our money goes.

Send Me Away

When it comes to relieving the financial pressure many of us feel the, the surprising solution isn’t more. Believe it or not, getting more simply leaves us wanting more. Instead of getting more, Jesus invited his followers to a different place.

I Mean Well

If your money could talk, what would it say? If you were to assume your money was FOR you, what would it tell you to help you? In today’s message we begin exploring this idea and discover that what our money would say parallels closely to what Jesus did say

Step by Step

All parents understand one of the greatest challenges of parenting: getting your kids to see things from a different perspective. Is it possible that God sees us the same way? Perhaps if we could see as God sees, we would do as God says.

Full Exposure

Ironically one of the greatest needs we humans have is also one of our great fears: to be known by others. We need to be known, but we’re afraid of rejection. But when we PAUSE and give space to allow others to know us, we discover something very important.

Lifeline

When it comes to our relationship with God, busyness is the seemingly #1 thing that gets in the way of us having the time we need to draw nearer Him. Instead, we rely on prayers in desperate situations where we have no option but to turn in God’s direction. But what if, in praying only as a last ditch effort, we miss something important?

Identity Crisis

Who are you? Have you ever taken time to answer that question? Have you paused long enough to consider the implications of who you are? Or maybe more importantly: whose you are? We get so caught up in the busyness of life that we can lose track of our identity. In today’s message, we learn to renew our minds by reminding ourselves of the answers to those two very important things.

Tug of War

Life can really be summed up as one giant tug of war. We’re constantly pulled in opposite directions, and whichever side pulls harder wins the battle. In today’s message we look at a tug of war with faith, and we begin learning how to be victorious.

Under the Sun

Counting Time

Light of the World

One of the often forgotten pieces of the Christmas Story is the light Jesus brought when he came to earth. He didn’t simply come to illuminate a dark world – he came to illuminate our dark worlds and to bring us light so we might have life.

Out of Darkness

One of the sometimes forgotten pieces of the Christmas Story is that Jesus brought the world out of darkness. The invitation for his followers today is to continue the movement of bringing light. In this message we explore how that happens.

What Matters Most

When love came down at Christmas, it demanded a response from those who received it. The obligation of receiving love that we, too, love. But what does that mean in a practical way for those who call themselves followers of Jesus?

The Unexpected Reason for the Season

What is it that we celebrate at Christmas? What is the reason for the season? Is it simply to remember Jesus’ birth? Or is there more to Christmas than that?

When Giving Thanks Becomes Living Thanks

Gratitude often begins as a discipline. Our parents teach us to say “thank you” from a young age. And although we feel grateful occasionally, most of us don’t live grateful lives. After the shame of his betrayal of Jesus, Peter goes back to what he’s always known. Fishing. But Jesus restores Peter’s soul by reminding him of his first love. So much so that, for the rest of his life, Peter would go from simply giving thanks, to living thanks.

Thanksgiving Service 2019

Contagious

In a country with so much prosperity, it’s surprising that many of us are guilty of complaining. And sadly, our complaints are usually contagious – causing people who had nothing to complain about to join in. The good news is that, even with the overwhelming temptation to complain, there is something that can help us refocus on what matters most.

Momentary

Inadequate. It’s not a word that we generally associate with gratitude, but it is connected. In fact, it’s when we feel inadequate that we are pushed to ingratitude. But what if our inadequacies could be given to God in thanks? What might God do with them?

Because We Know

In our culture of much, you would think we’d be deliriously happy! But unfortunately, we’re not. Depression and anxiety are on the rise, drug issues are ravaging our communities. So what if we could refocus on being grateful? In today’s message we learn a new framework for gratitude that extends beyond life’s circumstances.

Back2Back

As we close out our series on Missions & Outreach, Beth Guckenberger from Back2Back Ministries shares her incredible story and passion about caring and providing for orphaned and vulnerable children across the world.

The Why

As we continue our series on Missions and Outreach, this week we look at the “why” that could and should be behind our motivation to serve and get involved. In addition, Safe Passage shares about the amazing work that they are doing in our communities including an incredible personal testimony on how they are helping change and save lives.

Mission Clarity

Have you ever found yourself drawn into a debate on which side is right and which side is wrong, whether it be a social issue, religious question, etc? This week we continue our series on Missions & Outreach as we look at what our approach should be when deciding which side to choose as well as hear from one of our Ministry Partners, Clarity.

Choose a Side

Most of us are content with God rescuing and providing for us, but did you know that one of the primary things God will use to grow you is when we join the battle by partnering with Him? Discover how God wired you to be different in order to make a difference. Lead, fight or support. God put us here, now what?

Seeing is Believing

How can we believe in something we can’t see?  That’s the problem when it comes to faith: we can’t see.  But what if we could begin to see?  How might that affect our willingness to place our confidence in what’s unseen?

Seeing Is Believing

How can we believe in something we can’t see? That’s the problem when it comes to faith: we can’t see. But what if we could begin to see? How might that affect our willingness to place our confidence in what’s unseen?

Against All Hope

Have you ever felt the burden of being perfect? Of course you have! We all have! And it’s the demand of perfection that sometimes pushes us away from faith. But what if perfection shouldn’t be our goal? What if our goal should be something far more achievable?

Give Me A Little Faith

Most of us want to have faith. In fact, most of us would say we wish we had a lot of faith. The problem is we struggle to have even just a little bit. But what if we’re looking at things in the wrong way? What if the size of our faith isn’t actually what matters after all?

Demystified

What is faith, and how does someone go about having faith? Due to it’s nature, faith seems confusing and complex, but the truth is it’s not that complicated after all.

Words to Die By

Our words have weight.  James spends a significant portion of his letter to the early church teaching us that our words are more important than we think and that we all have a long way to go when it comes to better mouth management.  We all need to taste our words before we spit them […]
