Are you feeling downtrodden? Discouraged? Despair? In a world that feels like everything must be constantly chased and takes life at every turn, our God runs toward us and gives us all we could ever need. Amy Seiffert walks through Luke 15 and reminds us of our identity and worth in the eyes of our Heavenly Father.

Where does the world say well-being comes from? Where is real well-being found? How might this well-being speak to our world?

Have you ever felt betrayed, alone or in the midst of hardship? We serve a king who has been in deep hardship and can empathize with our pain. As we look at Jesus in Matthew 26 we can see how a deep trust in our father can bring us strength through the trials we face.

In the midst of deep waters, during the hardships and turbulence of life; we are never too far gone. God is full of mercy, is always reconciling and always considers his children. As we walk in light of his mercy, can we allow that mercy to change us.

With lives filled with uncertainty and trials, anxiety can fill our hearts and threaten to divide our souls. In the midst of turbulent times, Jesus shows us the way we might walk through hardship as we cast our anxiety on a God who cares for us.

As Jesus approaches the cross the most religious of Jesus’ day miss the kingdom life that was on offer. Here in Matthew 23, Jesus challenges those that seek him to recognize the kingdom within their midst, and to faithfully pursue it. 

Often we can miss the greater realities in the midst of the small things we believe to be most important. In Matthew 22, we see Jesus invite those that oppose him to see the bigger picture. Then, as it is now, humanity benefits from humbly seeking what the Lord lays out for us.

What does it mean to claim Jesus as our King? In Matthew 22 we see that if we recognize Jesus as King we are called to let go of control, faithfully seek the ways of Jesus, and bring his kingdom here. 

As Jesus comes to his people he comes like a king of old. But the rule of King Jesus does not just call attention to his power, but also calls attention to our participation in His eternal story. Will we recognize King Jesus in our lives today?

What does it mean to be like our heavenly Father? How can we begin to live out the ways of our Father? In this sermon, Brad Seeger explores the way we, as children of God, are invited into the practices of our Father here and now. 

We finish off the series Life in the Spirit with guest speaker Kimberly Butler. She explores the spiritual realities at work in our everyday lives and how we might be able to tap into it more. 

Pentecost is the day the Holy Spirit comes towards the people, bringing spiritual gifts to all. Creating unity where there was division and empowering humanity to live as we were created to be. 

We continue our series Life in the Spirit by exploring the Spirit Filled Law. 

We begin the series Life in the Spirit by walking through what humanity was created for, how that creation was corrupted in the fall, and the hope which was secured through Jesus. This sermon seeks to have us consider if we want to seek life through the Holy Spirit or continue to rely on the flesh. 

Bo Kessler walks us through Psalm 27 as we learn what it looks like to seek God in the midst of all things. 

Steve and Sandy Rieske speak on the experience of Motherhood. 

"THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS FAITH WORKING ITSELF OUT THROUGH LOVE." Steve Rieske talks us through the book of Galatians and what really matters in this week's sermon.

Yesterday we heard about some amazing experiences with God that Savilla Banister, Robert Seiffert, and Steve Rieske have had recently. Check them out here!

Jesus suffered. He got stressed out. He asked for things to be different. But ultimately, he told his Father, "Not my will, but yours." How can we do the same? Steve Rieske explores this and more in today's sermon.
