We often can't admit that we're carrying more than we can handle. We try to find a way to reposition or shift the weight, but that just makes the weight even more difficult to hold. What if we accepted that we aren't strong enough to carry the weight, but there is someone who is?

Your life may feel like a mess right now. Maybe you’re even asking, “Why me?” Like Joseph, sometimes we don’t understand what God is up to. Even when we don’t understand it, though, we believe this may be tough BUT GOD is still working.

Joseph had a dream but things didn’t go according to his plan. Now he’s in a waiting period. He’s waiting for his dream to become a reality. What do we do during seasons of waiting? How do we not just make it through them, but how do we flourish in them? Waiting seasons aren’t wasted seasons if we’ll stay faithful.

The unexpected happens often and fast. Life can throw curve balls that make us feel like we’re gonna lose it all. What is it about the unexpected that has such an impact on us? What if we could learn to expect the unexpected and have tools to make it through? Let’s learn from Joseph.

We are all aware of how busy and distracted life can be. There are hundreds of people, priorities, and pressures competing for our attention every single day. When we look at the ministry of Jesus, we see that despite having limited time and an eternal mission, He consistently slowed down to gather people around tables. Meals became places of connection, formation, restoration, and relationship. T...

Standing tall in your faith looks like fighting temptation, standing up for others, and taking ownership of your decisions. But you don’t have to do these things alone. We weren’t created for isolation. God wants community and friendship so that we can better serve and lead others. When we aren’t alone, it’s easier to stand in our faith.

A woman of God knows WHO she belongs to, WHY she was created, and WHERE her help comes from. She does not have to strive for identity, purpose, or security because they are found in God alone. When she leaves empty idols, misplaced trust and walks in surrender to God, her life becomes a ripple of His love, truth, and faithfulness to the world around her.

Jesus came for people like you and me. He came for those that feel like they are the odd one out, the one who just can’t seem to get it right, or the one that just keeps messing up. The calling of Matthew in Mark 2 gives us a glimpse of the people that Jesus came to call and save.

Sarah, known as the matriarch of the faith, is listed in the Faith Hall of Fame. It isn't because she was perfect, it's because she was faithful. Perfection has never been the goal, faithfulness is!

The hardest part of faith isn’t starting.  It’s waiting.  It’s the silence.  It’s praying and not seeing movement.  It’s believing and not seeing evidence. Abraham's journey from when God first promised to when he saw that promise fulfilled was anything but quick and easy. Abraham questioned God and struggled with his circumstances, but God was still working!

Faith is being sure of what we’ve never seen with our eyes. It sounds crazy at first. It sounds crazy to trust and believe during the hard points of our lives. As we’ll see through a hero of the faith in Noah, it may seem crazy at first, but God is faithful and proves himself real and loving over and over again.

Enoch is heralded as a hero in Hebrews 11. Why is this little known Bible character a hero? It was about his relationship with God. Enoch walked with God. What does that look like for us today? What can we learn from the few verses in the Bible about Enoch? We learn to run to and walk with our Creator.

Life doesn’t always feel fair. Faith doesn’t always feel fair. How do we deal with the questions that come when things don’t seem fair? How do we still trust God when we don’t feel we get what we deserve? The truth? He never promised us fair, and that's a good thing .

There’s a theme of ‘three’ as we read through the crucifixion and resurrection story, and it reveals something about God: He always has a plan. Easter shows us just how intentional God is, and just how much He loves us.

Eternity with Jesus on a new heaven and a new earth. That’s the promise we hold on to. What will that new creation look like? What will we do there? What makes it so amazing? What’s old is made new again and we get to live there forever!

Revelation is meant to make us stand in awe of Jesus, fall more in love with Him, and live with urgency. In this message, we’ll look at the events at the end of time, our place in them, and ultimately see Jesus as the Conquering King!

There’s letters to 7 churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Each of these letters was meant to challenge and encourage the people in those churches, but also to challenge and encourage us. What can we learn from the letters to the 7 churches? Jesus isn’t after perfect behavior or religious activity. He wants a real, authentic relationship with us, right where we are.

The book of Revelation isn’t meant to scare us or confuse us—it’s meant to give us hope by showing that Jesus is ultimately victorious. Revelation is full of powerful symbols that point us back to who Jesus really is: the First and Last.

We’re all going through something. There are times in our lives where it can feel crippling and exhausting just trying to get through what’s going on. What we see in the Bible is a God who is willing to break human rules to do his work. We see a Savior who heals the crippled and binds the broken. He’s all about people and he’ll do whatever he wants to love them.

God’s name is never explicitly mentioned in the book of Esther, yet His presence permeates every chapter. God works behind the scenes in the quiet, sometimes mundane moments. We can trust that even when God seems silent or hidden, He is actively moving on our behalf.

Noah’s persistent obedience to God, even when it made no sense to those around him, saved his family. It reminds us that faithfulness over time matters.  Like Noah, we are called to keep trusting and working when God has spoken, knowing that perseverance prepares the way for God to do his best work.

God has the power to change lives. The truth is, no matter where we come from, what we've done or the struggles we've been through, God is always present and gracious. The story he weaves together in and through our lives always shows his goodness.

Freedom. If we know Jesus, we have it. It’s not what we’ve done, it’s all about accepting what he did. What does it mean to be free? What does it mean to live free? Why is it so important to us as a church? Let’s answer those questions.

True life is found in Jesus. The truth is, we are dead in our sin without him. Once we meet him, it literally changes everything. True life is also shared with other people. We need people around us who will hold us up, encourage us, and hold us accountable. This is really living the life God has for us.

Helping people find hope, life and freedom in Jesus is our mission as a church. It all starts with hope. We want to be people who hold onto real hope and help other people experience it too. Because of Jesus there’s always hope!
