Should we exact vengeance or extend mercy? Join us today as we find out.

Scripture tells us that we should pursue who God has called us to be by “changing the way we think”.

Jesus made it clear, we are to make disciples, not converts. We are to intentionally journey with people until the baton has made a solid pass. In today’s culture, especially around the church, we have missed this idea. Grasping the idea of walking with Timothy helps us combat this failure and to raise up a generation of leaders who make leaders.

In life we never seem to be short on critics and naysayers. The cheap seats roar with those saying that we can’t and that we will never. In light of that, it’s even more important that we find people that encourage us and celebrate our wins. Join us as we look at what it means to walk with a Barnabas.

Relationships matter, especially when it comes to who we allow in our inner circle. They can be the difference between success ad failure, especially when it comes to our walk with God.

When God calls out to us we have a choice, though the choice is rarely easy. We can choose to remain in our bubble and be about our business or we can step out and step into God’s will.

During times of unrest and cultural failures, it's important for us as Jesus followers to have and attitude of "Yes Lord, here I am. It positions us to look towards God, evaluate our own condition, and points people towards Jesus.

The Bible is full of examples of people being used in-spite of their past. The story of Moses is one of those examples. It reveals that when we present ourselves to God, with a 'here I am" kind of attitude, that God can do amazing things. That he can deal with our past and equip us for a great work. Join us tonight as we look at lessons from Moses.

When it comes to our faith and the pursuit of God’s call on our lives, we tend to dismiss our ability to be used. We look at our past, our character flaws, or even our perceived lack of faith as disqualifiers. The truth of the matter though, God is just looking for present people who are willing to be used. When we answer God’s call with a “Here I am” attitude, we will not only find ourselves in h...

Experiencing God's purpose requires us to be ready for a higher purpose, and to be fully present and attentive to the moment. So often we are ready for what we want and give no mind to what God may want. We respond to him with a "Yes Lord, there you are…” rather than a "Yes Lord, Here I am" kind of attitude. Tonight we will examine Abraham and discover what changing our response can do in our live...

For many of us, what we leave behind is an area of contemplation. Will we be remembered and if so, what for? What kind of adults will our children and grandchildren be? What will be said at our funeral? Though we can’t answer those questions for sure, we can focus on building a legacy that honors God. We can trust that when we do that, our lives will be more meaningful than we could ever imagine.

Have you ever thought back to that moment? The moment that you realized that there was more to this whole Jesus thing than you’d thought before. Maybe it was an answered prayer, a miracle, or a gentle whisper from somewhere beyond the moment. It’s easy to lose sight of. Life gets busy, its difficult, and we forget the incredible ways God has moved and shown up. But it’s important to share what God...

God created us for relationships and for community. Because of that, we have a deep seeded desire to “fit in” with those we spend the most time with. In a strong God fearing Christian culture this is a good thing. Unfortunately our world is broken, people are sinful, and our culture is post Christian. That means in a place where the normal was to trend towards morality, it’s now the opposite. We a...

The Church was never meant to be recognized solely as a building. It was always meant to display God’s wisdom and to be a light in a world that is full of darkness.

In order to travel the narrow road, we must have a narrow focus. Our “good intentions” or our “noble pursuits” will not earn us a seat at the table or bring us into the KIngdom of God.

We will not accidentally make him Lord, we will not accidentally have a relationship that saves. We must...
