In this series, we're going to help you break down these weird...

Build your life on the rock of Jesus, not the shifting sand of anything else. The golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

This scriptural account has more meaning, challenge, and depth for your life. Wha...

There are moments in our lives that will define us. This is that type of moment for us as individuals and as a church.

Like the early church, in the power of the Holy Spirit, let's show people that they...

Taking the step to care for someone who doesn't know Jesus can feel daunting. What does it mean to be the kind of person, and the kind of church, that cares for people who are far from God? There's something powerful about one human being intentionally serving another. It's at the heart of our faith and modeled by Jesus.

It's easy for us to dismiss or forget that God is working all around us. Not only do we miss what he's doing, but we also miss out on being a part of it.

What would happen if you made more room in your life to see the people around you wh...

In this message, we look at how Jesus modelled the power of silen...
