Welcome to day eight of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. Did you know that there is one verse that could reshape your mindset right now? It sounds simple, but applying the scripture discussed in today's devotional can actually change your life. When practiced consistently, it can lead to a life devoted to bringing God the glory!

Welcome to day seven of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. In our busy life it's easy for our time with the Lord to be a quick to-do list. Dwelling in His presence is about experiencing the rich depth of His Spirit, love and mercy. The challenge for all of us is to dwell with Him every day!

Welcome to day six of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. We have one question for you... What are you trying to prove? In life we often are trying to prove something to someone, for something. Do you know what the Bible says about proving yourself? It may be different than what you originally thought!

Welcome to day five of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. During this time of fasting, have you come to the Lord with expectation? We may not know how things play out after the fast, but we can be confident that God sees us and is faithful. At the end of the day you get God, and that's an amazing thing!

In order to move into the promises of God, it often requires letting go of the past. This is even more clear in the story of the Children of Israel as they finally crossed into the land promised by God. There may be promises in your life given by God, but in order to fully see them realized, it requires letting go.

Welcome to day four of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. Often in the Christian walk we question whether or not God hears us. Do our prayers reach heaven? Does God care? Is He listening when I need Him most? The answer to those questions can be found in the life of Samuel from the Bible.

This is day three of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. When life hits you, it's easy to lean on your own understanding rather than submitting circumstances to God. Yet, His promise in Proverbs 3:5-6 shows us that if we pursue Him and trust in Him, everything will be taken care of. Our God is faithful, and this is a reminder we all need!

Welcome to day two of our devotional journey through 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. In today's devo, Pastor Chad discusses the importance of feeding on the Word daily. Especially during a fast, consuming and meditating on the Word is integral to spiritual growth, and it's not as hard as it may seem. Bible Reading Plan HERE

In our first sermon series of the new year, we take a look at our core values as a church. In today's sermon, it's all about being ALL IN on the family of God. When we operate as effective parts of the body, we contribute to the health and mission of the church in profound ways.

Welcome to our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. This is one of a series of devotionals that will be here as a resource for you during this fast. What is fasting? Is it Biblical? Why even fast? The role of fasting in the life of a believer can bring about powerful results. It's more than a diet... it's a spiritual discipline that we all need in our lives.

Prayer is integral in the life of a believer. Jesus even teaches us to pray in the New Testament, and this prayer we know as "The Lord's Prayer," gives us a framework to use. This brief teaching from our prayer night can remind and help you as you pray every day. 

As we celebrate Christmas together, we look at that holy night when Christ was born. The Messiah had come to the world at last! He has revealed God to us. He is God with us!

Mary gave birth to a son, Jesus, who is the Christ. She is called the Theotokos, which means "God-bearer." Similarly, we also carry Christ with us. We bear the image of God, and every Christian is pregnant with purpose from God to accomplish His will in the earth. The Lord is doing His part, now I must fully embrace doing mine.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! As we continue our series, "Songs of Christmas," we look at the deeper meaning of this famous Christmas song. In the account of the birth of Christ in the Gospels, we find God's heart for humanity in all the announcements surrounding the Christ's birth. Peace on earth, and goodwill toward men. Joy to the world, indeed!

What is fasting? Is it Biblical? Why even fast? The role of fasting in the life of a believer can bring about powerful results. It's more than a diet... it's a spiritual discipline that we all need in our lives. Learn Fasting 101 in this sermon from our Midweek services!

It's the Christmas season, and with that comes amazing tradition, great food, and powerful music centered around the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus our Savior! Today we look at The Little Drummer Boy . We may not have much to bring like the little drummer boy, but we still play our best for Him, and that is what truly matters.

A widowed woman was in a funeral for her only son.  Imagine the grief of losing another member of your family... but then Jesus sees her and has compassion on her. This story showcases the compassion and power of the Son of God. Jesus is the one who brings the dead back to life, and creates new things out of nothing. He did it for her, and he does it for us too!

As we conclude our series Hospitable, we come to the final portion of the story of the woman of Shunem. She's hosted the Prophet, been given a son, and then tragedy strikes. In the wake of Her tragedy we find principles to help us navigate our own pain. When we're under attack, when what has been promised seems to have died, God steps in and does the impossible.

As we continue our series Hospitable, we journey further into the story of the woman of Shunem. After creating a place to host the Prophet, He asks her, "What can I do for you?" Her hospitality lead to an encounter that would change her life forever. It can change yours too!

In the Old Testament there's a story from Jacob's life that's peculiar to say the least. After working for seven years to marry Laban's daughter Rachel, He instead ends up with her sister Leah. The full story of Jacob's marriage to Leah and then Rachel teaches us a valuable lesson about the process of patience in waiting for a promise.

In the first week of our series Hospitable, we take a look at an Old Testament story showcasing the importance of hosting the presence of the Lord. A woman's simple act of hosting a prophet teaches us how to prioritize Jesus over everything else.

Waiting... While not everyone's favorite pastime, it's an experience we all have. Even in our Christian walk we experience the 'wait.' We believe we've heard from God, but for some reason there's a period of waiting. The scriptures provide an example of exactly how to approach, and thrive, in seasons of waiting so that when the promise comes, we're ready.

As we conclude our series Encounters, we finish our deep dive into the story of Lazarus. In the aftermath of Lazarus' resurrection, Jesus and His disciples are at a dinner. During that dinner, Mary opened a jar of perfume and anointed Jesus' feet. Her willingness to humble herself in front of so many and to pour out something so expensive on Jesus inspires us to do the same.

King David is on the run when he receives a memento from his past that's he uses to help secure victory in the future. In the life of a believer, we too have mementos from our past that can help us keep faith for tomorrow. Mementos of God's faithfulness and love.

Jesus is standing at the tomb of Lazarus with onlookers from various backgrounds and with differing motives. In front of them all, Jesus showcases His power and glory by telling the people to remove the stone, and calling out to Lazarus. Despite doubts, the people operated in faith to remove the stone, and then helped their resurrected friend out of his graveclothes. We too can see lives impacted...
