What's different about people who stay in love? What is their secret…their magic formula? They've learned love’s biggest secret and it’s showed them how to stay in love happy together forever.

Do you remember what it felt like to fall in love? What happens to those feelings? Falling in love comes naturally but staying in love requires a plan. While many couples just endure their marriages, in this message we discover the blueprint for maintaining, and even growing, those feelings over time.

It's never been easier to fall in love and never been harder to stay in love. Is it even possible for two people to be happy together forever? Yes. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus and the Apostle Paul gave us the plan for enduring love. 

We all know what it’s like to want something but feel the tension that it’s just not right. At times, we ignore the tug of our consciences and sell ourselves on a questionable decision. In this message, we’ll see how King David found himself in such a position and how his example can help us navigate our own dilemmas.

We all have internal stories we tell ourselves. But when those narratives are not true, they lead to destructive thoughts and behaviors. We can choose to carry around false but comfortable narratives or we can look to destroy them. In this message, we’ll learn how to break free from the narratives that hold us back. 

We all face fears from the unknown, uncertain, and unexpected circumstances of life. What we do in those moments can make our lives better or lead us to be our own worst enemy. In this message, we’ll learn from a Jewish leader who teaches us how to develop the habit of paying attention to our fears. 

What would happen if you were willing and available to God? David Rose knows, because he chose to try it. Listen to this interview as David shares how God’s using him to experience and share a better life with those around him. 

What drives your life?  Jesus invites you to live a life driven by God's purpose. Do you feel unqualified to live that way? In this message, we discover that we might just be perfectly unqualified to be used by God. After all, unqualified people are all He ever uses.

God’s grace to us is an invitation to be amazing. It’s our chance to extend to others what God has freely extended to us. But while most of us are full of something . . . it’s usually not grace. So what are you full of? And what would it take for you to give someone what they don’t expect? Or deserve?

When it comes to grace, we resist the idea because it doesn’t seem fair. Why? Because we compare. But grace doesn’t compare, and it isn’t fair. It’s way better than that!

We believe everyone should want Christianity to be true. Why? Because at the core of Christianity is a simple, powerful idea that is the unsettling solution to just about everything. Like life, this concept isn’t fair but it’s full of hope. 

We all struggle with loving others at times, but it’s not just because we’re busy or people are difficult. It’s because we struggle loving the person we know best. Learning to do that makes all the difference.  

Why should we be for people? Because everyone matters to God, whether God matters to them or not. So people who love Jesus should love people even if they can’t or won’t do anything for them in return. 

What should a church be known for? We’re often known for what we’re against, but Jesus and His early followers challenge us to be famous for something far more important – our compassion, generosity, and love. 

What makes a church unique? One of the distinguishing characteristics is what they do with what they have. In this message, you’re invited to step out of the cycle of accumulation and live a better kind of life. 

How do you make sure you’re not making yourself the purpose of your life? What are the habits and practices you build into your life to make sure you’re not only involved in things that make your life better, easier, that build your personal wealth, health, and authority? Paul's letter to the Roman church strongly recommends serving as the habit that not only adds value to the people around y...

Confession is one of the most misunderstood spiritual habits, and that keeps us from experiencing the benefits. Rather than wallowing in guilt and shame and making confession a destructive practice, many writers from the Bible explain how confession is the way to find joy, peace, and confidence in the forgiveness God offers us. 

In an information age, our bias is to make our spiritual pursuits about what we know or about the exchange of ideas. We don't pursue relationships primarily through information, and we can't treat our relationship with God any differently. If anything besides knowing God becomes the focus of our spiritual habits, we miss out on the true purpose of our lives.

Spiritual disciplines are not magical; they are practical. They’re not a formula; they’re relational. So many people miss the point of developing spiritual habits, but because of what Jesus said about himself, we cannot take our spiritual habits lightly. Spiritual habits are all about keeping us connected to Jesus.

Many people treat Christianity like a list of rules to follow. What if we’ve gotten it backwards? What if doing what Jesus says is what we most want to do? In this message, we’ll discover what makes obedience something we do willingly.

Jesus claimed to be the only way to God, but that doesn’t seem fair. If you’re good, then shouldn’t you be good with God? That’s what most assume, but maybe that’s not as fair as we think. 

Believing in Jesus isn’t about blind faith. It’s about trust. That’s the foundation for a relationship with God, and the great news is this. You can give Jesus your trust, and then let Him prove He’s trustworthy.

Do you have questions or doubts about who Jesus is? Wonder if He’s worth trusting? Jesus isn’t offended by that. He actually invites you to come and see for yourself, because you can follow and not believe. You can explore and not be sure. 

Today's sermon isn't really a sermon, but more of a wishlist. Lead Pastor Matt Johnson shares 5 wishes he has for you to help you grow in your faith.
