Even when things aren’t going well, it is still possible to sing “It is well with my soul."

What are you living for and is it worthy?

When we choose to fight our battles on our knees, we surrender control and invite God to do what only he can do.

Whatever picture we have of God isn’t enough.

When we see God for who he is, we’re able to trust him even deeper.

Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we’re truly depending on.

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what’s going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what’s going on in us.

The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

In part 1, we will learn about Jacob and Esau and the bowl of stew that changed history.

God doesn’t size you up and write you off—and neither should you. In God's eyes, you're invited to move forward, not remain stuck in the past.

Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.

As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.

The fast pace of life and the unpredictability of our circumstances sometimes make it hard to find peace. Learn how God wants to make peace possible in our lives.

Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won’t know what hangs in the balance or our...

All of us face obstacles to generosity. The common denominator for our obstacles is a desire for more. The apostle Paul taught that true wealth isn't found in accumulation but in contentment. And he shows what it looks like to place our hope not in riches but in God who richly provides.

Everyone has a generosity plan, but most people prioritize spending first and leave giving as an afterthought. Jesus flipped the script on that approach with “Seek ye first” living. Embracing this financial template is a tangible expression of submission to our King.

Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don’t put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Choosing to follow his definition of generosity results in greater impact, less worry, more joy, and more peace.

Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. We will give first and adjust our lifestyle accordingly. Christians who adopt this perspective as the organizing principle for their personal finances find it easier to surrender...

Jesus’s kingdom is not advanced by force, but over time through transformed lives. We are invited to participate in its expansion.

The fight of faith is about becoming more like Jesus, not about defeating enemies.
