Love - it's the greatest force ever experienced. It gives us superhuman strength and looks past the shortcomings in others. Paul tells us that love never fails. Is there someone in your life that needs the love that only you can give?

When we are harmed, that's painful. When you add in the intention to harm, that's personal. What this world intended for harm, God has redeemed not only for our good, but for the good of those that hear our story.

Sometimes, like Joseph in Genesis, we find ourselves in a pit. We may have made the pit or just been thrown in. To get out, we need to display attributes that come from walking with God and rely on more than ourselves. We need hope, and hope is Jesus.

Do you have a dream that seems so crazy and personal, you're afraid to even speak about it? What if that dream was given to you by God and you are here to fulfill a specific purpose? Joseph's story in Genesis is all about dreams and how God brought those dreams into reality.

If Jesus is our Good Shepherd, then what kind of sheep are you? Are you happy in his care, or are you looking for greener pastures? Do you ever find yourself flat on your back, burdened with the cares of this life? Pastor Jade leads us through Psalm 23 and teaches us how to trust our Shepherd and stay in our pasture.

No matter what set of circumstances you are in, God wants you to wrestle with him and ask the hard questions. When we wrestle with God, we learn what it means to have a loving friend who will tell you the truth. We learn that we can be honest with God and he'll be honest with us. Are you a God Wrestler?

Family history - we all have it, both good and bad. How do we take only the good stuff and leave the rest behind? How do we make sure that we don't repeat the sins that our parents and grandparents made? Let's explore what it means to become the filter that removes our familial impurities.

What if Jesus is who he says he is? What if he really did rise from the dead? What could a risen Jesus mean for my life? Join us as we explore the possibility of a risen Savior and the hope of an eternity with him.

What does a win look like to you? Maybe it's nicer material possessions, greater wealth, or getting to play the role of the hero. Jesus' triumphal entry was unlike any other. He is the Son of God, yet he humbled himself to become the servant of all. Let's redefine our wins through the lens of humility and sacrifice.

How can God's perfect will be fulfilled in an imperfect world? How can his Kingdom come through us who are sinners in need of forgiveness? His grace is sufficient to overcome our failures, and his will reaches far beyond our good and bad decisions. God invites us to be a part of his redemptive plan for this world.

Have you ever felt exhausted? If we're not careful, exhaustion can lead to compromise. We can trade momentary relief for a lifetime of regret. Esau compromised his birthright for a bowl of soup. If you're exhausted and offered a bowl of soup, take a moment to remember the birthright that God has given you. Don't take the soup!

When God calls you, it doesn't mean that the journey will be easy. It doesn't mean that there won't be moments when you question your ability to continue pursuing the call. Yet, no matter what the journey brings, we have been given the promise that The Lord Will Provide.
