True leadership isn't about titles or authority—it's about humility, trust, and posture. Whether you're leading in your home, your workplace, or within the church, God calls us to lead like we live it.

In a story that should be filled with action and heroism, Exodus 17:8-16 instead focuses on the miraculous power of God and the resiliency of friendship. It is a beautiful reminder that while God's plans do not always lead to ease or comfort, we are never alone.

Why does following God sometimes lead us to uncomfortable places? This week, we're discussing how God uses discomfort to strengthen our faith, and how seasons of doubt can draw us closer to Him.

God provided manna in the desert for His children. This manna was a picture of Jesus, so how do we process the story then for how we live our lives now?

The Israelites crossing the Red Sea, and the subsequent defeat of the Egyptian army, is a famous story. But can we learn from it, as sometimes God leads us towards our own Red Sea?

The 10 plagues on Egypt probably have more to teach us today than we thought they did…

Moses, at the burning bush, has one of the most profound and impactful conversations in the entire Bible. This week we will look at what was said and the implications of God's words.

Moses at the burning bush is one of the most memorable and important stories in the Bible. We will take the next two weeks to see what we can learn from this pivotal moment.

We begin our summer series on Moses by reflecting on the marvelous sovereignty of God. He knew what He was doing then, and He knows what He is doing now.

We tend to view suffering as negative and simply something to be endured. But what if there were a more helpful way to think about hard times?

Why does an all-powerful God need our worship? This week we'll explore what true worship means, why we were created to worship, and how misplaced worship can leave us empty. Discover how God's invitation to worship is actually an invitation to find true life and fulfillment.

Doubt is a natural part of our experience of faith. Yet we often try to ignore it or shame it when really, we should explore it. The truth is, doubt is often a great sign of health, and Jesus, in His goodness, meets us there.

Understanding salvation is vitally important to our faith. And yet we so often base our understanding on misconceptions and poor teaching. This morning we are endeavoring to understand the miracle of salvation in a way that inspires and uplifts.

How can we know when God is speaking to us? How can we be sure that we've heard His voice? This week, we take a look at these questions that can sometimes confuse us and lead to uncertainty.

Even in her grief, Mary Magdalene showed up — ready to serve and honor — even when hope seemed gone. This Easter, we'll look at what happened when faithfulness met an empty tomb and everything changed.

Two weeks ago we were challenged to love and serve like Jesus does. But we didn't talk about what makes that possible. So this week we revisit the idea and ask how it's possible for us to do something that comes so unnaturally.

There is a tremendously challenging and appropriate teaching from Jesus when He encounters a man of means who wants to follow Him. As American Christians, we should lean all the way in to this conversation.

Having just arrived from Istanbul, where I had the honor of spending the week with pastors from a persecuted country, I wanted to take a Sunday morning and share with you a bit of what I gleaned from the experience.

We all have fears in life. Fear of change, fear of loneliness, fear of rejection, to name a few. But what if these fears are holding you back from all that God has for you? What if that next step of obedience, of doing it scared, actually leads you to find more of Him?  

The transfiguration of Christ is one of the more remarkable moments in His incredibly remarkable life. This Sunday, we reflect on that moment and what it means for us to simply marvel at our Savior.

We all have big plans and dreams for our lives. But what if God has bigger and better ones? And what if He insists that we live the life He has for us rather than our own?

Garbage in, garbage out. This is a universally familiar phrase. But what if there were something to it? What if this were actually one of the most important principles in personal holiness? Wouldn't it be worth a second look?

The Parable of the Sower is one of Jesus' most famous parables. Nevertheless, it is often misunderstood and therefore misapplied. But what if there were a way to understand this parable that informed our response to God's Word today?

Sometimes a need seems blatantly urgent to us. It consumes our focus and our prayers, and the need seems incredibly obvious. But it's possible in these times that God sees a greater need than we do and addresses that need first.

As we open our series in Mark, we begin by reflecting on the remarkable recruitment of the disciplines and what that means about Jesus' belief in and pursuit of us.
