It's a new year and a new season for our church. We're going back to go forward: taking on the mindset of replanting our church and starting from the beginning. And what's the first step? Centering in on Jesus.

How are you going into 2021? Are you bracing for impact- or are you in a ready stance to receive what God is doing? 

Today Nicole Unice talks to us about making the choice to let the peace of Christ rule in our lives. How does that change our hearts, minds, and vision for the world?

Relationships can be tumultuous, but we can look to scripture to see how to pursue peace within them- and it might look different than you'd think. Let's talk about it.

In the first week of our new series, Peace With Us, we're talking about the keys to peace that transcends circumstances. 

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord…”   You may have heard this verse referenced everywhere, seen it in social media bios, on coffee mugs, t-shirts, etc…. But what is the context of it? How can we look at the bigger picture of this story and find an example of how to have hope in the midst of hard places? And what does the game of spades have to do with it?   Our good friend...

What's the big deal about being generous? Why does it matter what we do with our resources, and what does Jesus have to say about it? 

The Bible tells me so... You've probably heard that phrase at some point in your life- but how do we actually approach the Bible? What kind of a voice does it have in our lives?

When we become followers of Jesus, we become other things, too. But what are those things? First up: we are people of witness.  

It's not a secret: we're more divided than we've ever been as a nation. But, what about as a church? What can we do to model unity that may seem crazy to the outside world?

No, it's not the age of 🤘rage🤘, but the age of 😡rage😡⁠ ⁠ So how do we approach anger as followers of Jesus? Y'all know we're about to talk about it. 

How do we even begin to have grace for one another during this election season? It's tough, but necessary. Let's talk about it.

We're kicking off our Jesus For President series looking at how we as Christians can faithfully engage in civics and politics. There's no bashing here- we're learning together.

What lies do fear tell? What are the things we fear the most? Let's talk about it.

Today we've got our bud, Pastor Vernon Gordon, talking to us on the importance of REST and how pace, priorities and pruning are the ingredients to God's rhythm for our lives.

Little things that go ignored can lead to biiiig issues. Welcome to week 2 of Rerouting. 

Violence, natural disasters, a global pandemic- how do we stay on the route we need to stay on? We've all taken a few wrong turns this year, so we're starting our new series Rerouting by talking about why the Church matters.

This week we finish out our series on Colossians with a word from fan favorite Nicole Unice on how Paul wants us to make our beliefs into habits and habits into actions.

"I can't believe in the Bible because it condones slavery." Wags provides some historical context surrounding slavery in the Bible and pushes us to recognize our place in the fight against the exploitation of people.

This week, we talk about family codes in the Bible and how Christianity offers a counter-narrative as we continue our look through the book of Colossians.

What are the characteristics of an "old self" vs. a "new creation"? And what exactly is this "Cosmic Story" you speak of? We continue a look at the book of Colossians.

Philosophies...conspiracies...idolatries...oh my. We continue our look at the book of Colossians.

Identity...confidence...maturity...hope...how do they all fit together? We continue our look at the book of Colossians.

In the second week of Don't Bury the Lede, we continue our look through the book of Colossians and consider some of Paul's harsh words in his letter to the church at Colossae.

Are we keeping Jesus as the lede in our lives, or is he getting buried by distracting information? We start our study on the book of Colossians this week to figure it out.
