We can lose our patience, lose our temper, lose our train of thought, and even lose our motivation. This happens to all of us. One thing that we cannot lose is hope. Hope is the one resource and currency that always gives us what we need to take the next step and move forward. We know that God is always good and always at work. That means that we always have hope. Never underestimate what God is a...

The world tells us to take care of ourselves. The Kingdom of God says take care of others. This is a big switch for us to make. Jesus calls us to a life of not just withholding harm from the people around us—we are to actively seek to lift others up. This kind of relationship and community truly reflects God and is attractive to a hurting world.

We are made to live in relationship. At some point along the way, I will need others in my life and others will need me. This takes trust and courage. Being together is more than just being in the same space—it is investing in each other and choosing to know and be known.

Bad things are going to happen—that is a guarantee. Some of the bad things that happen are completely out of our control. But the one thing that we can always control is how we respond to what happens. We never have to act like a victim. We can have victory in Jesus and should never underestimate what God is about to do next.

We all have a story to tell. When that story involves God moving in our lives, we have a calling to share that story with others. When we experience redemption on the other side of pain, our stories can be the catalyst for someone else’s redemption as well.

Without purpose life becomes empty and boring. Life has meaning to be embraced and every person has a purpose to engage. Knowing our purpose becomes the catalyst for joy, endurance, and peace.

The early church encountered all kinds of people—some were stubborn while some were searching for answers; some were living for pleasure while some were living for knowledge. No matter what a person’s perspective, the news of Jesus was good news for all.

Our world is angry and easily offended. The church cannot be so. In order for us to be a catalyst for change, we must be known for love, grace, and truth.

When we want to see change or movement, we focus on what we can do. While this is important, what is MOST important is what God can do. One catalyst for good is to work hard while I trust and pray knowing that real power is with God.

Growth usually requires discomfort. In order to get wiser, stronger, and more mature, we will have to learn to embrace moments of discomfort as a catalyst for change.

The church is meant to gather, but we gather so that we can go out with the mission. We cannot just be at church on Sunday. We have to be church everywhere that we go.

Even in the church, relationships and culture can be toxic. We need to commit ourselves to be a catalyst for good by working toward solutions rather than dwelling on the symptoms.

Lies seem to be more prevalent than truth. In a world where everything is relative and everyone is watching out for themselves, honesty matters. Honesty can be the catalyst for redemption.

Life is hard. Sometimes the world seems to be more than we can handle. When I am tempted to give up, pray for boldness and endurance. Be a catalyst for good.

Many of us have struggled with identity over the past year. We need to remember that what matters most about who I am is that I am connected to Jesus. More than anything else, being with Jesus can be the catalyst for real impact.

When you are overwhelmed and overworked, lean into God’s Spirit. Let the Spirit be the catalyst for what happens next.

Pastors Jonathan and Hunter tackle questions submitted about the bible, theology, faith, and life.

As God’s church, we carry on God’s mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

After Jesus’ resurrection & ascension, the Holy Spirit is poured out. God’s redemptive plan continues to unfold. The Good News spreads to Jews & Gentiles. The early church participates in bringing the Kingdom of God on earth.

For many, Jesus didn’t meet expectations & was not recognized. Let us not be blind to God’s work.

The time of no word from God happened, as prophesied. But He was neither distant nor inactive. He was setting the stage for Jesus.

Israel rebuilds after exile, but sin continues.

Sin & bad consequences put us in hard places. Even so, God is powerful & good and there is hope.

Despite the miracles that God’s people had experienced, the grip of sin continued to plague them. Even though they disobey him, God hears the cries of his people and raises up saviors to help defeat their enemies – it becomes a cycle they can’t break. But God will break this cycle once and for all by the ultimate Savior he raises up for us to defeat our enemy, Satan.
