The Bible can be hard to read and understand. It can often seem confusing, contradictory, or disjointed. However, when you learn a little about the background and history of how it was written, it can help you make much better sense of it all. Follow along with Pastor Nick Tallo as he gives us a broad overview of the history of the Bible and how we came to have this incredible book known as the Bi...

This week, we talk about a truth that Kenny Chesney found to be true. Don't Blink. Don't waste the time you have because it'll pass in what seems like an instant. Jesus had a lot to say about us making the most of the limited time we have on this earth. Let's look at the advice He gives us on living our life focused on what's most important.

What is the most defining thing about you? Where do you find your identity? When we are followers of Jesus, He should be the greatest definer of our identity. We believe everything else is temporary and can change. Do you believe this? Let's talk about it and how we can find breathing room in allowing Jesus to be the one who defines our identity.

70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Our consumer culture around us is constantly feeding us the message that more will make our lives better--this brand new ___ is WAY better than the old, if you buy THIS, your life will feel complete. But ultimately it leads to stress, anxiety, conflict, and more of all those things we try to avoid. The writers of the Bible talk about another way to live....

Carey Nieuwhof says, "Like money, social media is a great servant but a terrible master." How do we create margin in our crazy busy lives? In this series, we're discussing some of the major culprits that soak up our time and leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or empty.

Today we celebrated our 20th anniversary and we're excited to see what God will do in the next 20.

The Next Generation is important to us because they were important to Jesus. Raising up kids to follow Jesus is a huge responsibility and the bible teaches it is a huge blessing. The best thing you can do for your kids is for Jesus to be YOUR lead story in your home. Not just something that happens at church once a week. We want to be a place where kids aren't just tolerated but embraced as the ne...

God doesn't need your money. What we see in the Bible is that giving and generosity is far more about what God wants FOR you than what He wants FROM you. It's way more about our hearts than our wallets. If you're skeptical of that statement and feel like the church is just out to get your money, then this is a message you want to hear!

As followers of Jesus, we are called to live our lives on mission! It is necessary for us to talk about what Jesus has done in our lives so that others around us may come to know Jesus!

God has so much more in store for your life and it's about so much more than just you. Community is something we have to be intentional about and chase after. None of us are perfect, but God can do powerful things if we don't give up on community, especially in the church. Let's talk about it! Check out Week 3 of our This is Us series.

In our This is US series, we are talking about what defines US as passionate followers of Jesus. We will worship Jesus with reckless abandon because we have been radically changed. Even if he did nothing for us, just for the fact that he is God, he would be worthy of our worship. If you don't know him, we hope you'll know him, if you do, I hope you'll get to know him better! Let's talk about why!
