It is easy to have shallow relationships. Deeper, lasting, and meaningful relationships take work. Are you willing to do the hard work for relationships?

In the first message in our "One Another" series, Jonathan Latshaw talks about the power of encouragement and 3 practical ways we can be a positive influence in the lives of those around us.

We are all writing a story of our lives - are we writing the story we MEAN to write? If you could change one thing about your story - what would it be? What can you do today to make that change and live the story God has prepared for you?

Although we may pursue many avenues of longing in our lives, nothing will truly satisfy our longing for God. Are we creating space for God in our lives? If not, everything else will "never be enough."

God has a beautiful plan for your brokenness - but we have a choice whether we partner with that plan or become stuck in our pain.

God invites all of us to live outside the box of the status quo. In fact, he wants to partner with us to make a difference in the lives of those around us. Christian covers one practical way we can do this, by listening to those "nudges" that God gives us to reach out to others!

Not every dream will come true - but if that fact keeps us from ever dreaming big, what things will we miss out on? God puts dreams in the hearts of his children. But are we too afraid to actually dream them? What if the greatest life God has for you involved you daring to dream a little? Or even a lot...

What do you have that you could give to others? You may think the answer is "not much." But God has entrusted much to you - and there are opportunities for you to invest that into other people's lives that could have a lasting impact. Will you take that challenge?

Do you ever feel like you are stuck? Or that things keep going the wrong way in life? This message will inspire you to make daily choices to be an overcomer!

Can we go out of our way, to make a way, for those who are far away? This is a challenge that Paul lays out for us - how much do we really care about people who are far from Jesus? How does that inform our actions? How should it?

Jesus said of himself that he did not come to be served, but to serve. Can we as a church embody that same spirit of serving our communities?

What does it take to be an everyday hero? Is it as simple as responding to people in need? Could it be as easy as taking the time to let our faith move into action and do something rather than wishing someone else would do something?

If our giving is left till the last thing we do, we generally won't give much. We'll be left feeling like "I wish I could give more but I can't." What if we gave first? What if we made our generosity a priority? Listen as we are challenged to give first, and make our money last!

People will do anything for money. Why? Because we have grown to love it. We have grown to feel like we own it, are entitled to it, and can trust in it! There is a better way. But it requires us to give our money like we do NOT love it.

Have you ever wondered why people walk away from faith? Do you have religious doubts? When your prayers go unanswered, do you wonder if God exists? Does science make God seem unnecessary? Listen to Jonathan Latshaw share some root causes for why people walk away from faith and what we can learn from it.

We interview Dr. David Martin about the intersection of faith and science, and how understanding science can lead us to a greater love and appreciation of God.

Does God have a plan for my life? Can I know it? In this message we discuss what life looks like as we are led by God.

What is the point of life? Is there one? If so, can we know it? We take some time to look at this from Jesus' point of view - pursuing the Kingdom of God above all else.

After his resurrection Jesus found his disciples to be in varying degrees of faith, doubt, and disbelief. His love was big enough to welcome them just as they were, and invite them to find him again in his resurrection. He invites us to do the same, no matter where we are on our journey of faith.

Jesus earned the right to give us a gift we could never earn - no matter how hard we tried. The gift of life! Yet we often make it way more complicated than it needs to be. What if we just received the love and life he is offering freely to us?

Why didn't God do something? Sometimes, despite our most fervent prayers, God doesn't show up the way we want him to and it's easy to question whether he really does love us. In this message, Jonathan tells us what to look for when it feels like God forgot to show up.
