You never thought it could happen to you, then one day you wake up and you have become that person you never thought you would be. That person who is cynical, disconnected, prideful, burned out, and even that person who makes compromises. This week we are starting a series called Didn’t See it Coming based on a book by Carey Nieuwhof. We will wrestle with the above challenges together and see how...

We often think of the feeding of the 5,000 as a story about Jesus miraculously providing food, which it is. But we also need to understand Jesus provided because his followers did not. Jesus was not inconvenienced by needy people, he welcomed them. Jesus also asks his followers to care about people in need and provide for them. Next Steps: • Take an inventory of your resources and find a creative...

Almost every major event or celebration is occasioned by a big meal. This isn’t true of only our culture. People have been feasting for generations all over the world. A shared meal has great power to bind people together in shared memory and celebration. This week we kicked off this series by looking at how Jesus treated a woman with a bad reputation who showed up uninvited at a dinner party. Jes...

Every relationship is difficult and for love to endure through every circumstance, we have to practice forgiveness.

Hope is more than an idea or a dream. Hope motivates us to live differently and love relentlessly. As we love our friends and family, we must bring hope to others.

Faith is more than a set of believes. Faith is being moved to action. As followers of Jesus our love should move us to action. As Bob Goff says, "Love is never stationary."

Love requires sacrifice. We are looking at three examples as we consider what it looks like to love sacrificially: mothers, Ruth and Jesus.

Sometimes love comes very easily. But what about loving when it isn’t easy? The fact is that showing love all the time requires selflessness and intentionality. This week we are starting a new series called Messy: Loving Others Isn’t Easy. Over the next five weeks, we will be taking a close look at 1 Corinthians 13 to discover what love really is and what it looks like to relate to others in love,...

God tends to call us to do difficult things, beyond our abilities, which stretch us. Simply follow God is itself a disruption.

When we face disruptions it is important to be gracious toward others.

Not all disruptions are bad. As we celebrate Jesus's victory over death, we experience a great disruption that brought new life and renewal.

When life is disrupted, we are flooded with emotions. Often we make the mistake of ignoring our emotions or pretending they do not exist. Jesus showed us it is important to embrace our emotions.

When we experience disruptions, it is important to keep your focus on Jesus.

All of us are going through a storm of some type. It is important to remember that Jesus is with us in the midst of the storms of life.

Jesus went against his culture and baffled his closest followers by welcoming children. We want to be a church that loves and serves children.

The Old Testament contained 613 laws, some positive, others negative. Most of these were designed to keep us safe and help us live justly. Jesus was continually frustrated with our tendency to traditions into laws.

Jesus was gracious, kind and loving. Jesus was also blunt, sometimes sarcastic and passionate. One of the things that made Jesus mad was when insiders prevented others from accessing God's grace. This week we kicked off a series based on the book "What Made Jesus Mad" by Tim Harlow. Jesus challenges us to consider ways we've closed the door on people and commit ourselves to making a way for people...

As we close out our dangerous prayers series, we consider King David's sins and ask what it looks like to seek forgiveness.

We have partnered with Mustard Seed and Andy Rodriguez for 12 years. As part of our series on dangerous prayers, Andy challenged us to respond to God's sending.

Prayer is life-changing. One dangerous thing we can ask of God is to experience brokenness. God asks us to live with humility and brokenness.

Dangerous prayers are bold prayers that challenge us, make us uncomfortable, and transform us. Over the next four weeks, we are going to be challenging you to pray dangerous prayers, to engage in prayer in ways you may have never done before. Asking God to search you and reveal who you really are is a dangerous endeavor.
