How does that phrase go? "We're all in the same boat?" What if we're all in the same storm, but in different boats? Marvin Knoot details this topic with Psalm 51, and David's plea to the Lord to cleanse him, restore him, and use him

The lost sheep. The lost coin. The prodigal son. Whenever one comes back to the Father, He doesn't punish. He celebrates! Our Father has demonstrated to us how deep His love goes, which compels us to, not only love Him back, but to love others with grace and compassion!

Community is important. It provides comfort, encouragement, healing, and is a way that God can display His goodness to us all! The writer of the Hebrews passage encourages us to "not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing." Are you actively seeking out community?

Go. Baptize. Teach. The Great Commission records Jesus teaching us to do these three things. Are we actively pursuing others so they might hear about the goodness and power of Jesus Christ?

What are you afraid of? The prophet Daniel was thrown into the presence of hungry lions, but he had complete trust that God would deliver him from it all. In the presence of the things that make us most afraid, do we trust that God will pull through?

There is no question that God is the creator of all things, but is He the only God we serve? We take a look at the lives of Ahab and Jezebel and their devotion to Baal. What other gods might we be serving?

Grief can often be a great cause of the messy parts of life. Hannah, when going through a grief-filled season, pleaded with God. Not only that, but she vowed to glorify Him in light of deliverance! How can we go through our seasons of grief while still being faithful and obedient to God?

All the way from Beatrice, Nebraska, Teen Challenge shares with us about their ministry and how they have seen the power of the Holy Spirit empower and transform lives! Whether it's addiction or abuse, they have seen firsthand the freedom that only God can provide!

Life can be a real mess sometimes. For David, a man after God's own heart, was no exception to how messy it can be. We kick off this new worship series looking at the life of David, his affair with Bathsheba, and the forgiveness that he found in God

As we wrap up this worship series, Pastor Jon takes a look at the roots that run deep in prayer. As Christians, do we find ourselves praying in all circumstances, or only when we need something from God?

Just because it's easy to judge others, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. How can we overcome that bad habit? Pastor Jon breaks down Galatians 6, studying how we can be good to all!

It's easy to love and serve somebody... conditionally. How can we love and serve others unconditionallly? Do everything for the glory of Jesus Christ!

We may be in Christ, but are we bearing fruit? With the fruit that we are bearing, is the Father pruning us, or are we going to be cut off?

Paul, in his second letter to Timothy, encourages him to not pursue selfish motives and ambitions, but to be rooted in service and the word of God, which is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness

We're always going in some direction. Are we running towards God, or are we running away from Him?

Many of us know about Christ, but how many of us actually know him?

With the tools and resources that we have in the 21st century, how can we use those to help those all around the world hear the gospel?

Fear is constantly trying to take control of our lives in whatever way it can. How can we take it head on and live fearlessly?

We can find ourselves being devoted to many things, but are we devoted to heavenly things?

The dividing line of racism has increased heavily over the last year. How can we be more compassionate to our brothers and sisters in Christ?

It's easy to be consumed by the busyness of life. Work, kids, activities, there are so many things that demand our attention in this life. But how distracted are we by the things that surround us that continually pull our focus away from God?

We've all been given resources, whether it be treasure, talent, or time. With the gifts that God has given us, how can we use those in being generous with others? Pastor Jon leads us during this second week of our Broken Normal worship series, reading from 1 Timothy 6:6-10

Over this past year, we've experienced a broken normal. Our routines and habits were interrupted, which gave way to increasing levels of anxiety within ourselves. What does Scripture say about confronting anxiety, and how can we apply that to our "new normal?"

It's hard to be in this together if we aren't actually together. Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, speaks to the people of Corinth about how we are to be united as a body of Christ
