It is really hard not to be consumed by the hurts and struggles of life when you're in the midst of a storm, but what can we do to protect our heart? Let's find out together.

Even a heart that beats for the glory of God can still be corrupted by sin. How does God reveal what is going on in our hearts? What can be done to repair it? Let's find out.

Physical beauty, a brave spirit, or unique talent may grab our attention, but none of that impresses God. What matters most to God? Let's find out.

How hard is it to vow at the end of a moving worship service to spend more time seeking God? Piece of cake. How easy is it to keep that vow at the end of the day when you are trying to decide between another Netflix episode and prayer? No matter how sincere the vow there is a natural tendency to drift towards what is easiest. If there is one thing the conclusion to this story puts on display, it i...

Christianity is most likely going to be a miserable experience if your faith amounts to little more than knowledge. Knowledge often leads to conviction, but it is obedience that leads to joy.

Satan loves to distract leaders from what is best with what is good. If you are not clear about your primary mission or fail to keep it front and center in your mind, Satan will have great success by using this scheme on you. How do we NOT fall for any of Satan's schemes? Let's find out together.

What is the best way to combat selfishness? Lecturing others about the evils of selfishness may be necessary at times, but it should not be our primary strategy. Our number one strategy should be to live extraordinarily generous lives. This is how Nehemiah lived his life.

Are you a threat to Satan or not? Satan will go after you if you live a life intent on blessing others and bringing glory to God. If all you do is live a nice, moral, church-going lifestyle, he will probably leave you pretty well alone. Find out what type of a person we should be pursuing.

It doesn’t matter if you have been a Christian for two days or fifty years or if you have a PhD from a school of divinity or a certificate from the school of hard knocks; the church needs you to play your part in the body. There is no way we can fulfill the mission of making disciples who make disciples of all nations without your help.

We need everyday people who can lead the way in restoring the broken places in society right now. This is one of the reasons we are looking at the story of Nehemiah. You may not be a born leader, but if you will live out the principles modeled by this man, you will be an effective leader in the Kingdom of God.

When life doesn’t turn out as expected, it can leave one feeling disappointed and hopeless, but the story of Nehemiah reminds us that God can bring beauty from ashes. Let’s discover what Nehemiah has to teach us about partnering with God to address the broken parts of our lives and world.

As you enter into the new year, what is God calling you to push through? It can be the catalyst for tremendous growth. Take a moment to look back with a spirit of gratefulness, but then look forward with a spirit of expectation.

Let's find and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

In the Christmas story, we are reminded that God's timing is always perfect. He is never too early, and He’s never late. "Timing is Everything" this Sunday at 9am. Perhaps this is the perfect time to bring a friend or two to church.

Many of us don’t see God in unexpected places, not because He is not there, but because we are not looking for him. Have you encountered Jesus in the most unexpected place? Join us as we continue our investigation.

Do you believe in miracles? This Sunday, we will continue our investigation into WHAT happened as this Christmas story unfolds. 

This season brings a lot of joy, but have you ever noticed how quickly the joy fades once the Christmas clean-up begins? It is such a bummer, isn’t it? Do you want to avoid that feeling this year?  In this sermon series, we are going to look into Christmas by examining the 5 w’s that every first-year journalism student is taught to examine when doing research for a potential story. WHO knows...

We are living in the final quarter of God’s restoration plan. 1 Peter 4:7, “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and sober-minded so that you can pray.” We must give ourselves fully to living and sharing the life God has called us to live.

To put an end to sin, we must be willing to suffer. Not just from within but from others. We need to be reminded to stop messing around, and we need to stop messing around with sin. How do you put an end to sin?

The church should not be a place of conflict and tension but rather a place of refuge. Every single day Satan works hard to trip us up and discourage our faith. The last thing the church should be is a place that aids Satan in that endeavor. The church must be a close community that supports and strengthens our effort to live the type of life that will bear witness to the glory and grace of Jesus...

Peter 3:3-4, “Your beauty should not come from outward adornments, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self…”. Peter’s point is that who a person is on the inside is of far greater importance than what they look like on the outside.

How are we to be model citizens even under less-than-model leaders?

Society tends to assign status based on “what.” What do you look like? What is your title? What is your income bracket? What have you achieved? What do you own? The more impressive the answer to those questions, the higher one’s status. In the kingdom of God, “what” has nothing to do with one’s status. In the kingdom of God, status is determined by “who.” It was their connection to Jesus that gave...

Is living a holy life easy? Not in the least. Every minute of every day through songs, movies, articles, advertisements, games, and TV we are encouraged to do whatever makes us feel good and happy. How can one live a holy life in a world that consistently encourages one not to be?

Do you have the right perspective? Going through trials (be it mistreatment because of one’s faith, or the every day hurts of life) is not easy. It is often incredibly discouraging and may even cause one to consider throwing in the towel. For this reason, we must get the right perspective on our trials as quickly as we can.
