"Good grief." That's probably a phrase we've echoed a lot throughout this past year. With our news cycles and news feeds continuously hitting us with more tragedy to mourn, disappointments to share, outrage to feel, and worry to be burdened by, it's understandable we feel beaten up and worn down. But what if, instead of running into the new year trying to forget the last, we took a moment to ask o...

There's so many remarkable things about Christmas. The birth of Jesus. Time with loved ones. Houses decorated in lovely, warm Christmas lights. Christmas movies where everything is always perfect (and it always snows). But there's another remarkable thing about Christmas as well; the question from God to us that, how we answer, impacts every area of our lives. The question that Jesus' birth presen...

In our current teaching series, we are exploring the Gospels and discovering that Jesus was dangerous, so as His followers, we must be courageous.

What comes to mind when you think of Jesus? How do you picture Him? How would you describe Him? Kind. Gentle. Loving. Compassionate. Considerate. Dangerous? What if there was an aspect of Jesus' character that isn't portrayed as often in the pictures of Him playing with children or carrying sheep? What if gentle Jesus, meek and mild, was also passionate Jesus, fierce and wild? When we read the Gos...

We've all experienced those times where we've messed up, made a mistake, fallen short in some way, and feel as though, in a single moment, all the progress we'd made is lost. We've all experienced failure. But by God's grace in our lives, that failure doesn't have to be final.

We've all experienced the loneliness that can come from being in a place or around a group of people we don't quite fit in with. But sometimes the reason we don't fit in, could be because God is calling us to lead out.

There are times in our lives where our lonely place is actually a hiding place. In other words, we're in that place because we've chosen to be, because we've chosen to hide from something God has called us to help with. But God in His grace, will actually come to us in our hiding place, call us to be courageous, and then tells us one astounding truth that gives us all the courage we need to stop h...

The Apostle Peter tells us, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Well, being alone makes us even more vulnerable to his attacks and temptations. But this week, we're going to learn from a time where Jesus was tested and tempted by the devil, and we're going to see that Jesus shows us our foundation for fig...

Life is filled with many ups and downs; highs and lows. Perhaps no one in Scripture exemplifies this better than David. That's right, the giant-slaying shepherd boy. As we read the narrative of his life in Scripture, we see remarkable highs and regrettable lows, but perhaps none was as dramatic as the descent he experienced after he defeated Goliath. He went from celebrated to isolated, and becaus...

Have you ever felt alone? Disconnected? Surrounded by people, yet isolated somehow? Technology has made us more connected than ever, yet, studies increasingly show that we are lonelier than ever. And with the safety measures of social distancing and self-quarantining because of this pandemic, connecting with people isn't as easy as it used to be. So what do we do? Zoom meeting? Facetime? Or do we...

Do you know someone who never seems to be bothered by anything? Like, nothing phases them? No matter the circumstance, they're calm, cool, and collected? Well, that may not come natural to all of us, but this Sunday, we're going to look at a statement of Jesus that does make it possible for all of us. We're going to learn that no matter what may be going on around us, we can still have peace withi...

If you could ask God for one thing...what would it be? There's a fun question to think about. But how we answer that question also reveals a lot about what is really important to us in life. It reveals a lot about what we truly value. Because come on, if we could ask God for just one thing, we're going to want to make it count. Join us Sunday as we look to Scripture for some guidance on how to ans...
