Area 10 Faith Community

Do men have a role in the modern world to be providers in their homes? What does that look like for the modern man? In this message, we will look at how men can still be providers in various ways and how doing so helps them feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

In 2024, what difference does it make if men are strong? Do we even need strength anymore? It’s not like we have to hunt for food or build houses with our hands. So, what is the value of strength in men? In this message, we will look at the warrior who wants to fight inside every man and how Jesus channeled that energy for good.

We’ve heard so much in the last decade or so about toxic masculinity, and we can all think of examples where men go off the rails to a toxic place. But does it have to be that way? What is a better way for us to express masculinity in today’s age? In this series, we will look at the narratives men are given around masculinity and how the New Testament can help men live and lead well in our modern...

Do you ever feel like you have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, each whispering in your ear and vying for your attention? What does it mean to have a conscience, and do we have any control over what it suggests?

What is the point of the church? Does the church still have value in an age where you mostly hear about its abuses and scandals? In this message, we will look at what God intended the church to be and how (when it functions properly) it can point us to God.

Whether it's the power and grace of a tiger's stripes, the epic vista after a long hike, or a baby's laughter, there so many things we collectively agree are beautiful. But why is that? Where does this innate sense of beauty come from?

We often do everything we can to avoid pain, but inevitably, pain works its way into our lives. And although the pain itself may eventually pass, sometimes its scars remain on our hearts. How do we make sense of pain in light of a loving and merciful God? And how can we transform our pain into something with purpose?

Deep inside each of us, there is a sense that we need each other. Even those of us who act like we don’t need anyone still need community! We are not designed to live our lives by ourselves; We all need community. In this message, we will look at how hardwired that need is and at some steps to find meaningful connections.

Why are we so restless? Why does it seem like we never have enough? —Enough money, time, rest, friendships, etc.? Maybe restlessness is useful to us. Maybe it points us to deeper truths about how and why we were created. In this message, we will look at the idea of restlessness and how, like a constellation in the night sky, it can point us to God if we pay attention to it.

For thousands of years, constellations in the night sky have been used to tell stories, convey meaning, and help travelers on their way. This series explores how God's design of nature, relationships, trials, and triumphs speak to the reality of God and Biblical truth. Just like the individual stars that make up a constellation, God uses these various aspects of life to give us a fuller picture of...

Every now and then, it's helpful to reevaluate our commitments. Do we actually want all of the things we signed up for? Are we still "all in" on this routine—this relationship—this commitment? In this message, we wrap up our RE:DO series and look at some very challenging things Jesus said to his followers about commitment as we reconsider our commitments of faith.

What do you do when your love for something (or someone) has grown cold? What can you do when it feels like those embers of a once-blazing fire have died out? Is there any hope for a return of that spark that you once found so exciting?

Christ gave you a new chance: a do-over on your life, a chance to make things right. But where do you start? In this message, we will examine Jesus' countercultural teaching that challenges us to pull out of "business as usual" in American life and reorganize our priorities.

Don’t you wish you could redo some things in your life? Maybe a career choice, a relationship, or a move that you made? In this message, we will look at God’s ultimate redo that he offers to us. This is a chance to have a truly fresh start in life. This is a do-over, a redo, a rebirth.

We apologize for an effect that doubles the audio for the first five minutes of the podcast. It clears up at 5min and 15sec into the podcast.

Are you a good person? How would you know? How do you make that call? In this message from Romans chapter 3, we will look at what it means to be truly good and the lengths God goes to help us actually be good.

Is being considered judgmental the worst thing you could be in America? It sometimes seems like it is. So, what does it mean when we think that God judges us? Is that worse? How do we handle this? In this message, we will look at a world where we all fall short and face God’s judgment.

Now and then, we find ourselves going down a bad road in life. And if we don't course-correct quickly enough, we can feel trapped, with nowhere to turn. In this message from Romans 1, we will talk about what it looks like to go down that bad road as a culture and as individuals and see some ways God has given us to escape the trap.

The pillars of a building are the foundational structures that help hold it up. In the same way, our faith has pillars. This series will examine some of these pillars in the Book of Romans. In this message, we will look at the idea that we have been invited to be a part of God’s family.

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve talked about what it looks like to be both self-differentiated AND emotionally connected. But whenever you stand up for what you believe and attempt to remain connected to the people you love, others won’t always like what you do and say. They may even try to sabotage the good you are trying to create.

Standing up for who we are and what we believe can help us be less anxious but also burn some relationships with others. The key is to remain emotionally connected to others even when we self-differentiate. In this message, we will examine how Jesus masterfully did this and how we can emulate him in our relationships.
