This week we start a new series called Cardio. Our English word cardio comes from the Greek word "kardia," which means, you guessed it, heart. In our vernacular cardio is a word we use for exercise that strengthens your heart. What resistance training is to your biceps and glutes (ow ow), cardio is to your heart. When the scriptures speak about the heart, they aren't talking about th...

This Sunday will be a tad bit different than usual. We will be sharing some exciting news about the Home Campaign and important information about what's next. For those who are new-ish or curious, this Sunday will give you a good idea of who we are.

He is risen! This morning we will celebrate that in the end love and life triumph over fear and death.

This Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. We will hear a word that gets to the heart of what makes Jesus so challenging and also so intriguing. It will definitely get us ready for Easter!

This week is going to be a surprise. Reason being this issue is something that's easy to see in other people, but it's harder to recognize it in the mirror. But it's in there alright, and it gets the best of a lot of us.

This week we are starting a brand new series called Heart of the Matter. Any Don Henley fans out there? Besides the awesome 90's vibes, this series is going to call us to take a serious look at some of the things that can get stuck in our hearts that wind up making a mess of our lives.

We are convinced that the church is called to be a good neighbor to people who call their community home. This week we are going to talk a bit about what that means in practice and spotlight some really incredible work that is being done in the Midlands.

This week we are wrapping up our series through the miracles of Jesus by looking at what is without a doubt the STRANGEST one of them all. It involves blindness, spit, people who look like trees and an invitation to see everything a bit more clearly.

This week we are going to look at the one miracle story that is recorded in all 4 Gospels-the feeding of the 5,000. Like with all the other stories-there's the miracle, and then there is what the miracle is pointing to...a God who can take our little bit and use it to accomplish a whole lot.

When things have been bad for a long time it gets harder and harder to believe they can change. It's much easier to try and just accept that bad is how it's always going to be. In this week's miracle story we will see that when Jesus gets involved, giving up isn't our only option.

This week, we are continuing our series through some of the miracles of Jesus looking at a story of a desperate woman whose feeble faith opened the door for something amazing to happen in her life. If you feeling like you're hanging on by a thread, this message is for you. 

This week we will look at one of Jesus most iconic miracles-the calming of the storm. This story has a lot to say to us about who Jesus is and what God is up to in and through him, but it also has something to say to us about our fear and how we can keep it from getting the best of us.

In this message we will crawl inside the story about 4 people who dig a whole through someone's roof to get their friend to Jesus. We will talk about urgency, grace, and our role in instigating miracles.

 We are starting a brand new series called Signs and Wonders. For the next several weeks we will be doing a deep dive into some of the miracles of Jesus. Before we do that, we need to clear the way a bit and deal with some of the reasons we often struggle with these stories and miss the point all together. It will be a great primer for what is sure to be a powerful series...

As great as our first Round Table was, we recognize there is still so much to talk about. For starters, how about all the questions from the audience that we didn't get a chance to talk about that night? Nick and Dylan recorded a conversation where they discussed these questions and more.

Love is a word that we get a lot mileage out of. We toss it around all of the time. The real kind of love, the Advent kind of love, goes beyond words-it’s got some skin on it. This week we will talk some more about the kind of love that shows up in flesh and blood.

 We are getting into the theme of peace. We find talk of peace all over the first Christmas story. It’s in the messages of the prophets, it’s on the lips of the old priest, and it’s even sung about by a choir of angels. We all want peace, but what exactly is peace? This is important for us to get right because what we believe about peace will determine how we pursue it and as usual, God's ide...

Joy is at the heart of what makes this season so great. You don’t just kind of feel joy. When it hits, joy completely takes over and leaves us better than it found us. We are going to talk about the joy that Advent offers and how we can facilitate a bit more of it in our lives.
