If you missed our guest speaker, Mark Tindall now is your chance to hear his teaching! Mark challenges each of us to invite Jesus into our daily lives to speak to us. Whether we are driving to school, work or the grocery store are we asking Jesus to be  with us? Have we taken a pause to remember He is waiting for us to invite Him into all we do each day? It sounds like such a simple question but d...

As we continue our series on how to be God's miracles in someone's life, we look at the Old Testament friendship of Jonathan and David. Through the lens of this friendship, what we find is a beautiful picture of Jesus' friendship extended to each of us. We see Jesus committing to us, sacrificing for us, and loving us. And as Jesus befriends us, we are then called to be that kind of...

Jesus teaches that He is the true light of the world—the light that all of us need in the darkness we are facing. Surprisingly, He also teaches that we are the light of the world! He commissions us to take His light to a broken and hurting world! One of the easiest ways for us to do this, is by serving others. The power of serving others is that not only does it point them to Jesus, it also serves...

Today, Christine talks about how Christ was sent to earth to give us His love and what that means for our lives. 

Today, Hannah talks about experiencing joy in the journey of the spirit.

Today, Brad talks about how joy is not a feeling. Joy comes from the Lord.

When Scripture encourages us to rejoice "always", we begin to wonder how is that even possible?  The key is that we rejoice "in the Lord".  God is always with us, always for us and always helping us. Because He is always present in those ways to each of us, we can find joy even in the most difficult times. We are never left to suffer alone. God is always working behind the scen...

Today, Michela talks about the difference between happiness and joy.

Today, Tyler talks about the importance of finding joy in life, no matter our circumstances.

Today, Chris explains how the Christmas story teaches us about joy.

Today, Kevin focuses on the difference between the feelings of peace that are often determined by our circumstances and the objective state of peace that we achieve through Jesus.

Today, Dave shares the story behind the Hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" and how we shouldn't let our circumstances determine our attitude. 

Today, Gregg talks about how to find our peace in Jesus. 

It's relatively easy to have peace when our circumstances and relationships are peaceful. But what happens when we are experiencing conflict in those areas? Is there a peace that we can embrace and rely on  during times of conflict? As we study John 14-16, we will see three key ways that Jesus encourages us to increase our peace in Him. Together we will see how He extends peace to each of us...

Today, Becca kicks off the Advent week of peace and gives us insight on what the Bible says about peace and how to experience it. 

Today, Jay gets us ready for Sunday's service on Peace.

Most people, even those who don't follow Jesus, acknowledge our need for hope. However, without God, what is hope? Is it possible to have true hope without Jesus? This Christmas season, let's remember the source of true hope: the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Because of His great love for us, we can have true hope in this life. No matter what we are facing our hope is anchored i...

Today, John talks about what hope looks like and how we can give hope to other people.

On day 3 of our Advent series, Jared talks, and sings, about how all of our hope is in Jesus.

Today, Monica talks about having hope even in the darkest of times. Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.  Isaiah 61:3 To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD

Beka kicks off our Advent series and talks to us about what hope means to her. 

This week we welcome, Dr. Rob Palkovitz as he shares from his new book,  “A Place Prepared”. Rob encourages us to live our lives from a place of abundant love and acceptance in God. He challenges us to live our lives in step with the Spirit and not in our own strength. Rob calls this living from an “orphan spirit”. Instead, we can learn to live from a place of being a child of God! Each of us is f...

At the core of our faith is the discipline of prayer. Paul encourages us to “stand firm” in our faith, and one of the main ways we can do that is by cultivating a life of prayer. Everyone can pray, but it can be easy to get discouraged. In what ways can you increase your prayer life today?

We are all being influenced by the people and culture around us. The question is, are we being influenced on purpose or on accident? Are we choosing who and what has influence on us? Or are we inadvertently following people who do not line up with the teachings of Jesus? Are we helping others get closer to Jesus? Or are we wasting our influence? In this teaching, Christian challenges each of us to...

Why do we go to church? Why do we attend small groups? Why do we serve? Why should we be generous? Are we just checking boxes? Have we gotten into the routine of doing all these things so much that we’ve forgotten what’s driving us? This week we look at a powerful passage where Paul tells us simply what it’s all about: knowing Jesus. Together, let's rediscover the simple truth about why we do...
