What if we started to think of our jobs as if there were assignments from God? What if we began to view our careers, with the lens that God cares about the job we show up at every day? Do we give Him the opportunity to speak into our lives through our jobs?  Do we give Him permission to use us at work so He can reach those around us? Whether your workplace is in your house or out of the house, pai...

Do you ever struggle with knowing what the meaning is behind your job? Whether paid or unpaid, in the home or outside the home, does work have meaning or is it a necessary evil? As we explore the Biblical lens for work, can we find a deeper sense of meaning, hope, and purpose in our work?

If you feel like regret is holding you down, and holding you back, it’s possible you haven’t allowed yourself to really receive and understand God’s grace. His grace is the antidote to regret - freely given and impossible to earn. Let today be the day that God moves into your life in a new way. He can bring freedom and healing into your life in ways you never knew possible!

When we look back at our lives, we can often find two sources of regret: things we wish we had NOT done, and things we wish we HAD done. This teaching is about the things we wish we HAD done. We will explore two areas where fear and hopelessness hold us back from living our lives in a way that will leave us without regrets. By God's grace, and with his help, this is possible! Even if you feel...

Have you ever looked at something in your life and thought, “How did I get here?” How did I end up with this addiction? How did I end up messing that relationship up? How did I end up with that moral failing? Usually they don’t happen in an instant, but rather over time - many small compromises leading up to a big mistake. Can we stop that slippery slope? In this teaching we learn from the life of...

Do you ever say things you wish you didn't say? Or do things you wish you didn't do? Are you ever impulsive and then wonder later, "why did I say that?" As we start this series about learning to live with fewer regrets, we begin with addressing how we can learn to get in front of the impulses that we end up regretting. We learn how to target these areas and find freedom from re...

Does God have more for you in worship? It’s so easy to get into the routine and forget the power and presence of God. In this teaching we talk about how to worship God with all of our heart, and mind, and strength. As we learn to appreciate all that God has done for us, will it expand our hearts of worship towards him?

We often forget that God is the one who has all of the resources that we could EVER need! We spin around in circles trying to find solutions to the challenges we face. Whether it be in our workplace, our relationships, our finances, etc. We race around and wear ourselves out when Jesus says," Come to Me, all you who are weary and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. What if we came to G...

The Holy Spirit is often overlooked or made into hype. These extremes can often make us sour, leading us to ignore the Holy Spirit in our lives. In John 16:7, Jesus said, "But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." Jesus knew that in His leaving, we would be gifted the...

If you missed  Mark Tindall speak last Sunday, this is your chance to hear it! Mark delivers a passionate teaching on,"Bad Religion". How the church has made a name for itself in ways that do not represent who Jesus was or is.  Mark preaches from the book of Luke, chapter 11. In this passage, Jesus is eating with the religious leaders. Jesus calls them out in the ways they have made the...

Sometimes we get caught up in the rat race of life. We forget that a big part of our purpose is to "go and make disciples." In this teaching, Christian urges us to take hold of the command  Jesus gave each of us, "go and make disciples". Christian highlights how important church community is within that command. Encouraging each of us to take hold of Jesus' command in our...

How has God worked in your life? Have you seen him be faithful? Kind? Generous? Miraculous? These "God Stories" are powerful for building our faith. But what if God not only meant them for you, but to help others as well?

When you think of what God would say to you, is it full of love? Is it based on your performance? Is it always negative? Would he point out your flaws? If we could hear God speaking over our lives, what would he say? Does the Bible give us any clues? Listen as Christian describes the amazing reality of God's heart for his children.

In Acts 21, we read about Paul's tremendous faith in God. A courageous faith that enables him to be willing to be imprisoned and even die for the sake of sharing Jesus. How did Paul’s faith compel him to take that risk? How can we have faith like that today? In this teaching, Christine shares how we can grow in taking risks for Jesus. How we can say, "Yes!", to His invitations? She...

As we read through the middle of the book of Acts we begin to see the Apostles beset by all kinds of resistance and setbacks. We also see them  leaning into God, and finding out that the He often has purposes beyond their immediate comprehension. And as they learn to trust him more fully, they get to discover that the end of the story is often far greater than they thought during the difficult mid...

In this Acts series we are being challenged to, "GO".  This teaching drives the message home for each of us as we are challenged to listen to the Holy Spirit and love on those in need. Are we open to serving those who need help? Are we willing to give of our finances when we see someone or hear of someone with a financial need? It sounds basic but it's not. It's imperative to o...

We are "On Call" as we go about our day and in every aspect of life. As we are doing the mundane in our lives, are we asking the Holy Spirit to lead us? We go to the store, work, interact with our kids, our family, our friends and are we asking the Holy Spirit to give us opportunities in those relationships? In this passionate teaching, you will hear how each of us can be on call.  We wi...

Let's admit it, we have a radical faith! Listen to Christian preach about why we need the Holy Spirit in our walk as Christians.  Are you allowing the presence of His Spirit to move in your life? To speak to you and guide you? 

Many of us have experienced the telemarketer Christian. You know who I mean! That Christian who means SO well, but their approach to sharing the "Good News" is one that feels very confrontational. What if we have had it wrong all along? What if our approach is to be one of loving the person first? Not rebuking, preaching at or challenging the person. But, first seeing them just like each...

Michela Brownell gives practical ways we can open our hearts and homes to those around us. Whether it's in an actual   home, an invitation to coffee or a walk, she explains why it is so powerful for others when we do so. Listen to the loving and open heart of Michela as she delivers His message! 

This three week series is extremely challenging.  Do we make time to open our home to others? Are we seeking out those who believe, think and act differently than us and then being invitational? Not with a heart that,"We must win them over!" But, with the heart attitude that we can listen and extend a place of love and acceptance. Jesus is fully able to do the rest. He can change hearts....

Many Christians believe that hospitality is a gift. And while that may be partially true, it doesn't mean those of us who don't embody this gift get off the hook! In Jesus' time of ministry His "home" was whatever town the Father sent Him. He relied on the hospitality of others. He challenged the boundaries of the "social norms" and sought those on the outskirts...

Often times, we keep on trudging through life. We are unaware we are in need of God to come into our situations and deliver us. In this teaching, Christian leads us through Psalm 107.  In doing so, each of us can recognize we need our Deliverer to come in and lead us. Today, let your Deliverer into every space in your heart.

That slogan speaks quite a bit in three words. If you are like me, you hear that and think," Oh yes, I will! I will push myself! I will get the finish line! Even if I have to army crawl I will make it!" We apply these three words in many areas of our lives. But, when it comes to our faith....do we? Take some time and listen to this teaching. Maybe God is trying to get our attention and h...

The word "confession" can carry a stigmatism. It can feel negative. It can feel as if something huge is about to take place and not in a good way! Confession, is the opposite of these things. Confession should be seen as freedom. You have been held hostage by a wrong doing and now you have the opportunity   to confess your wrong(s). Once you do, then His light can pour in and begin to he...
