Simplicity doesn’t seem like a spiritual act, but God created us within time and space, so we have to create time and space for Him. The biblical discipline of simplicity -which is seeking God and his righteousness in Jesus Christ- liberates us from anything that would distract our attention away from the pursuit of God. In this week's message Nick Seders continues our series with teaching on the...

We all know what prayer is, but often our prayers are focused on ourselves; our wants and our needs, rather than focusing on God. But if we posture ourselves in the right way, our prayers become different and through them we come to see the world as God does!

What comes to mind when you hear the word 'celebration'? Maybe it's a birthday party, an anniversary or a special occasion. Celebration is always a choice, and when it comes to God we have to remember to celebrate Him because it reminds us of Gods faithfulness and goodness to us. In this week's message Lead Pastor John Carrano continues our series with teaching on the spiritual discipline of celeb...

We can all recount times of good and bad customer service, but what does it actually look like to serve? We have to make a distinction between serving and being a servant. To serve someone -or something- means we choose what we do, but being a servant means we give up that right. We like to choose where we serve, but God calls us to be a servant of all. In this week's message Lead Pastor John Carr...

We often talk about the fact that Jesus said “come follow me” but all too often, we omit the part where He said to take up our cross in the process. When persecution comes, we retract, hide, and stop living the way Christ has invited us to live. But we cannot let this deter us, nor make us lose sight of what we are doing and why.

The state of ones heart is something God constantly refers to in scripture, but why is God so concerned with our hearts?

In Matthew 5:9 Jesus says 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.' Nobody really likes peacemaker. By making peace, ironically, it makes people upset but peacemaking is rooted in the grace that we have received from God and it’s a true indication of sonship and right relationship with God. Peacemakers continually fight for peace and unity in the Kingdom, but it's up...
