It’s Resurrection Sunday! We love to celebrate Easter as a society. As fun as the celebration can be, the lived reality of the resurrection for the follower of Jesus is infinitely more astounding. Jesus’ conquering of sin and death through His death and resurrection has such far-reaching implications that it is staggering to consider. Yet, there is no greater way to celebrate the finished work of...

Palm Sunday has always been an important day in the life of the people of God. It marks the official beginning of Holy Week, which commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and it also sets the stage for Jesus’ death and extraordinary resurrection that we celebrate on Easter Sunday. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies. This Palm Sunday we will look at the...

When Adam and Eve allowed their own desires to drive them, they made the tragic decision to take what God had forbidden. That single choice fractured the relationship between God and man and reshaped the world we live in. Yet hope was not lost! Even at humanity’s lowest point, God’s faithfulness was already greater than our failure.

It has been said that people have the freedom of choice but not freedom from the consequences of those choices. This is a very sobering idea. It reminds us of the power of our God-given agency to make choices. It is amazing to have freedom of choice, but with that freedom comes tremendous responsibility. We must think consequentially. Our present human condition is the direct consequence of Adam a...

Genesis 3 is such a pivotal chapter in the Bible. This is where everything changes. Where brokenness enters the story. Where fear, shame, and hiding take center stage. We also see the heart of a God who continually pursues. The Fall didn’t begin with loud rebellion, but with quiet suspicion, putting more trust in doubt than in God’s Word. Today’s passage reveals that in the midst of our hiding, Go...

Whether we like it or not, to fail is to be human. YouTube is filled with compilations of home videos showing human failures–cars crashing, people doing illogical things, animals making messes. You name it, and there is a video of failure. But there was one most epic fail–Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This weekend we will begin a new series in Genesis 3 to help us understand ourselves and ou...

In this message, we explore the seventh day of creation and see that Sabbath is part of God’s original vision for a good and flourishing world. God’s rest reveals faith that the world can be sustained without our constant striving, hope that points us toward the coming renewal of all things, and love that delights in what has already been given. From the beginning, Sabbath was never meant to be a...

What does it mean to be human? How shall we live? What is our role in the grand design of all things? These are the big questions that we ask ourselves. How we answer these questions is so important because the answers become the fuel for how we live our lives. God, our glorious Creator, had some very specific intentions in mind in creating humans. As we look at the sixth day of creation, we will...

God’s creation and the order in which He created it has deep significance for us today. The birds of the air and the fish of the sea all teach us about God’s unique character and qualities. What God speaks into existence, He also sustains. What God calls good, He also calls forward. If creation itself has purpose, so do you.

As we continue in the All Good series, day four reveals that the sun, moon, and stars are more than beautiful lights in the sky. They were made to guide our days, mark the seasons, and reveal God’s intentional order and design. Just as these lights are used to shine in the darkness, God also uses His Light to illuminate the darkest places of our lives. In this passage, we’ll discover how His desig...

We see in the creation account that God is ordered and precise. Ever-wise and all-knowing, on each successive day of creation He places the next necessary piece in place. Before God could create humans and the animals that would inhabit the world, He needed to create the places that they would live. On the third day of creation, the Lord organized the land and water so that He could inhabit them w...

Have you ever looked up at the sky and felt astonished? We all have. Whether it is admiring a gorgeous sunrise or sunset, seeing the innumerable stars on a clear evening, or just feeling soo small amidst the vastness of the heavens, the sky is always an echo to us.

Life often feels confusing, chaotic, and dark. To truly understand our lives, we must first be rooted in the truth that we were created by God. Before anything existed, God was already there. And when He began to create, the very first thing He spoke into the darkness was light. As we begin the All Good series, we start where everything starts. Day one of creation reveals not only God’s power, but...
