Do you ever feel like you are running on empty in life? God has provided three circles of sufficiency that when we lean into them we find the strength and replenishment we all need.

Exercising the habit of generosity changes your heart and causes you to be more thankful for everything!

What happens when we die? How does our sin affect our eternal destination? Jesus tells us that He not only knows the answer, but that He IS the answer. He said, “I am the resurrection.” What does this mean for our lives?

Jesus teaches us that we can do nothing without Him. And he calls us to live a life of significance that produces fruit - fruit that will last! As we learn to follow him more fully, what fruit are we leaving behind?

Jesus describes Himself as the only Way to relationship with God. The subtext is that God actually wants a relationship with us! That is incredible news! However, it can be easy to settle for something less than the loving, full hearted relationship He offers us. How can we grow to living with Him moment by moment?

Guest preacher Mark Tindal challenges us to remember that part of following Jesus is praying for and expecting the miraculous!

For many of us it is easier to think of God as an our leader or our Savior, but it can be hard to let him care for our hearts. This week we look at what it means when Jesus says that He is our Good Shepherd.

We live in a world that is full of darkness. A world that often distorts and confuses good for evil, light for darkness. How have we, because we live in this world, been affected by the darkness? Have we gotten used to it and forgotten what it means to live in the light?

Jesus says that he is the Bread of Life? For us to truly live we need to feed on who He is. But what does that mean and how do we do that?

We all usually know what we should do - the problem isn't knowledge, its application. This teaching will challenge you to do the work you know you need to do, in order to be the person you know you want to be!

In a surprising twist of a Bible passage, James tells us to count it “pure joy” when we face hardships. How is that possible? What does he mean? And how can we apply that to our lives? In this passage we learn how hardships can make you better at life!

A Christian truth that will lead you to a better life is the practice of repentance. Repentance, though, can be confusing. In this teaching we learn how God’s grace coupled with our effort will lead to lasting life change.

In relationships we often find that the easy choice now, doesn’t lead to the best outcome later. In this teaching we look at Biblical wisdom for relationships, and how often making the hard choice in the moment, will lead to the life you wish you had!

In the cross we see the incredible generosity of Jesus where he takes the worst of us onto Himself, and gives us the best of Himself as a free gift of grace.

This Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It can be easy to think that this event is mostly concerning our eternal salvation. In reality, the good news of the resurrection is something that impacts our daily lives. Find out how!

On Palm Sunday we remember the Triumphal Entry of Jesus that marks the beginning of the Passion Week. But what does that event truly signify for us today? And in what ways do we miss Jesus’ offer of peace, similar to how the people of His time did?

A lot of the slogans you hear repeated from well meaning Christians tend to gloss over the rough edges of life and faith. Jesus doesn’t do this. The Garden of Gethsemane experience gives us a deep look at a Savior who suffered deeply. In fact, he suffered alone, so we don’t have to.

Jesus shows us how to love each other by humbling himself and washing the feet of his disciples. The question for us is, are our lives too full to actually be able to serve anyone? Are we too full of ourselves to serve those in need?

In the story of the feeding of the 5,000 we learn that Jesus not only cares about the spiritual needs of people, he cares about their practical needs as well. How, as followers of Jesus, can demonstrate the same compassion the those around us?

As Jesus describes his compassion for those who are far from Him, we are challenged to ask ourselves to do a “heart check.” Do we care like Jesus cares? Are we willing to search like Jesus searches?

Have you ever felt discouraged in your faith? Does it ever feel like things are taking too long, or the cost for following Jesus is too high? In today’s teaching we look at several short parables of Jesus that encourage us not to quit before we see the harvest in our lives!

We often relate the supernatural power of God only in the form of healing. However, as we can see in scripture, His Word brings us eternal life which is healing, restoration and redemption beyond our human understanding! Let’s dive in and see the amazing power His Word holds! 

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gives us a beautiful vision for what the people of God can look like. If we can be transformed by following Him and become a people of deep character, faith and love—we can truly be the light of the world.

Are you someone who tends to minimize when things go wrong, or someone who makes a big deal out of them - maybe too big of a deal? In this passage about Jesus, we learn that while sin is worse for us than we think, God’s overwhelming forgiveness is more than we could ever imagine.

Looking at the list of the twelve Apostles, one has to wonder, “What was Jesus thinking?” These twelve are so completely different from each other! However, maybe that’s the point. If God can work with them, He can work with you!
