Think about the information most valuable to you. We often keep important things in safe places, protected by passwords and keys. But the things dearest to us are imprinted on our hearts and minds—like a parent's words of encouragement, a child's first words, or the first time they said, "I love you." We tend to memorize what holds the deepest meaning for us, sometimes it is effortless. As we ente...

Imagine all the different foods you love. What’s your favorite meal? Your favorite dessert? Do you have any cherished family recipes that have been passed down through generations? Perhaps you’ve even learned to prepare some of these dishes yourself. Now, imagine if you couldn’t cook at all—relying solely on others, restaurants, or packaged meals. It would be a daily challenge, limiting your abili...

We go to the doctor to care for our bodies and to school to develop our minds. But to nourish our souls, we must immerse ourselves in the Word of God. Sunday, we ask, "How can we read and meditate on Scripture not just for information, but for transformation—encountering Jesus in a way that shapes us to be more like Him?

If God were to speak to you, how would He do it? Through a dream? A trusted friend? Circumstances? While God uses many ways to communicate, His primary voice is found in Scripture. For most of history, Scripture has been more than a story or just words on a page—it’s alive, active, and has transformative power. Today, we begin our Practicing the Way series on Scripture. Over the next four weeks, w...

There comes a point in our relationship with God where we desire not just to speak to him, but also to listen - "to hear His voice." As Jesus said in John 10:27, "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow me." But how do we hear the voice of God? Today, we will learn how to sift through all the "voices" in our head as well as those coming from the outside to discern how God is spea...

Last week, we practiced talking to God through pre-written prayers—like the Lord’s Prayer, the Psalms, scripture, and liturgies. Now, we take the next step: having a personal conversation with Him. Scripture encourages us to bring everything to God in prayer. Jesus even said, “If you ask anything in My name, it will be done.” But is that what prayer feels like to you? Do you talk to God about what...

What’s something you look forward to? Maybe it’s spring break, a family vacation with good food and no distractions, or a quiet Saturday with nothing scheduled.

What if God told you to stop? Where does your mind go? What’s the first thing you think He would want you to stop doing? If He’s telling you to stop, it probably means He’s had just about enough. But what if He’s saying, “Stop everything”? “Stop everything and come be with Me. Set aside all the things that need to get done.” He has a word for this: Sabbath. This week, we begin our series on Sabbat...

One of the most iconic songs we sing during Advent is "Silent Night, Holy Night." Yet, the events surrounding the birth of Jesus were far from silent or serene. The Star of David first appeared to the Magi, the shepherds, and to the world, but for many, its significance went unnoticed. Thousands of people saw the star but remained unaware of the greatest event in history unfolding before them, con...
