Jesus had limited time here on earth and a relatively brief ministry, and yet he always had time for the one. A word that drives a lot of social media ambition these days is the word, “influencer.” In the social media world, the more fans you have the greater your influence. And yet, Jesus, the ultimate influencer, influenced people one at a time. He did not seek out a fan base, he was never inter...

It’s hard to trust God when ​the world around you says, "you can only rely on yourself." ​There are a lot of reasons that would support our hesitation to give up control, especially those who have experienced suffering. Through the mess and heartache, there is a hope that we can hold on to. Join us live in Cedar Rapids, Coralville, or Wilton, Iowa. Or watch online each Sunday morning. Visit https:...

We will be looking at Luke 19 and a very familiar story to many - the story of Zaccheaus the tax collector who had an encounter with Jesus and his life was turned upside down. He changed! Our prayer is that we too, like Zaccheaus, will experience life-giving encounters with Jesus that promote change. A change for the good. A change that is measurable and quantifiable by those who know us best. Rem...

It's time for...

Hannah processes her pain through prayer and also by having real co...

Because of a single or many bad decisions, you live with a sense of guilt or shame, and this has prevented you from fulfilling your divine purpose. I have several questions that I want to ask…one being, w...

In a plant’s life cycle, producing fruit is the last phase, while developing a root system comes first and is essential to producing fruit. How many times have we worked to change our eating habits or gone to the gym to get into better shape, but soon reverted back to our old ways? Or how many times have we worked to be more like Jesus in our workplace or in our home but found that we weren’t able...

Pride can be defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.   Pride is a pain.
