PROMISES. Someone's word is sometimes hard to believe. Our expectations are intricately connected to what someone pledges to us. Our hope rises or falls with fulfillment or unfulfillment of what's been promised. The deepest and most abiding promises made are by God and oftentimes we have difficulty in believing them. What promises has God made? How does He guarantee these pledges? Why do w...

DELAYS. Someone once said, "God's delays are not God's denials." It is tough to wait on God. It's even tougher to wait on God not knowing what He is up to in our lives. What do we do while we wait? What should our mindset be as try to be patient and hopeful? What does God want to accomplish in us as we look to Him and trust Him? Join us for an honest look at this topic and fi...

Presented by Pastor Davey.

RESPONSE. God has designed this world and your life to bring forth a response. There is a truth in creation and in our consciences that is placed there to help us connect with God. It is "evidence that demands a verdict." How we respond to these truths will determine hopefulness of our lives now and forevermore. Our response matters for time and eternity. What has God revealed to us? Why...

ACQUITTED. True freedom can only be found in God. All of us wrestle with our guilt and struggle relentlessly of trying to free ourselves from this guilt without end. Being acquitted is a gift of God and only comes from Him. Without God, we only feel the burden of ACCUSATIONS from others and ourselves. We will never be declared "not guilty" apart from God's actions on our behalf. How...

PROVIDENCE. Call it that unseen, powerful force moving all things to some desired end. Call Him God. Your life, my life, are not left to random moments or accidental situations, but all things are intentionally being directed by God to arrive at some providential outcome. We all know things don't exist or happen by chance. What if we could understand this to a greater degree? How could underst...

In a world full of uncertainty, where do we find our anchors? Are we relying on unstable things like jobs, relationships, money, status, social media, or hobbies to keep us grounded? They can't provide us the security that only God can. In this sermon from Pastor Scott, we delve into Acts 22:22-23:11 to explore the concept of anchoring our lives in God's unchanging truth. Join us as we ans...

STORY. Everyone has a story. Your story is important. But you'll never understand the meaning of your story until it's rooted in God's love and purpose for you. It's only then that your life makes sense, and you'll experience true satisfaction. Join us for a powerful and transformative exploration of Acts 22:1-21. In this passage, the apostle Paul shares his personal testimony—...

TROUBLES. We can't prevent troubles from happening to us, but we can prepare for them and survive through them. Our response to trouble is either natural or supernatural. The difference leads to lasting peace. What does peace look like in the midst of troubles? How do natural responses lead to more unrest and lack of peace? What principles does God ground us in as we navigate our difficulties?...

GRACE. A foreign experience in many of our relationships. Yet, we all long for it and deeply desire it. It's not far from us to have and it's not far from us to give. Rooted in God Himself, this is truly a transformative gift from Him that we can live in and live out of regularly. What is grace? How do we receive it? How do we give it or show it? What can happen when a community is changed...

BLESS. We've been blessed to be a blessing. Someone once said, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep in order to gain that which he cannot lose." That is a powerful truth to not only consider, but also embrace as a lifestyle. What does this look like in our everyday lives? What if we embrace an eternal mindset in all we said and did? How can we seize every day and every relati...

BECOME. Not only have you been created to become complete in your relationship with God, you have also been uniquely designed by Him to serve His purposes by using the gift(s) He's given to you. We become more satisfied and content when we understand we exist to serve God and others from our talents. Self-absorption and self-service only lead to the deterioration and, ultimately, emptiness of...

BECOME. We're all becoming someone. Most people don't know who they must become and therefore end up pursuing a course of becoming that's unfulfilling and ultimately empty. Unless we understand that we must mature into who God has designed and destined us to be, we will be dissatisfied and discouraged in who we become. Who does God want us to become? What does the path to this satisfyi...

BELONG. No know and be known. To accept and be accepted. To love and be loved. The closest we can get to this is in the local church. Yes, the church is imperfect. But, there is no other community that God stands with and spiritually supports more than the family known as the church. Have you discovered this truly genuine community of Jesus followers? Have you experienced the joy of connection? Ha...

POWER. While the world flexes its power, there exists no power greater than God's power. Yes, God's power is mightily seen all AROUND us, but it is most dramatically and magnificently experienced when it happens WITHIN the life of an individual surrendered to Him. How does God's power come to us? In what ways does God's power change us and give us strength to live daily? How is God...

VITALITY. Ah, to have the strength to face each day with hope. Yet, many of us feel a lack of power to persevere on a regular basis. Day to day struggles continue to rob us of joy and discourage our hearts of the things we know we need to pursue yet lack the continual strength to do so. Where does this inner strength come from? How is it made available to us? What daily disciplines must we embrace...

PROMISES. There are no guarantees in life except the ones that come from God. Those who are unfazed and unshaken in this world are the ones who bank of the promises of Him Who exists beyond this world. Our encouragement and peace is rooted in God's character and His promises. Where is your heart today? Is your trust in God? Are your circumstances weighing down on you? Do you need to be reminde...

HOPE. Most of humanity is familiar with the kind of hope that disappoints. Whether it be job, marriage, health, or friendships, we're all too connected to life's disappointments. What if there existed a hope that doesn't disappoint? What if there was a certainty of hope (present and future) that is constant and changeless for our lives that would bring us joy continuously? This is the...

ENCOURAGEMENT. All of us need powerful moments to lift us from the pit of discouragement. We yearn for times of comfort that let our hearts and minds know that everything is going to be fine. As humans, we can be agents of encouragement, but oftentimes, only scratch the surface of what we really need. This is where God comes in. He is able to work encouragement into our lives in a powerful and sus...

DISCOURAGEMENT. We've all experienced the weight of disappointment, rejection, failure, etc. Oftentimes we wonder how long the difficult season will last and, more importantly, what is necessary to move us from discouragement to encouragement. What do we seek while we're discouraged? How does God want to encourage us during such times of "funk" in our lives? What does hope and he...

Join us for a special Sunday service at Missio Dei, as we welcome guest pastor Matt to share an uplifting message about the power of suffering in drawing us closer to God. Through personal stories, scripture, and reflection, Pastor Matt will explore how our struggles and hardships can actually deepen our relationship with our Creator and help us to grow in faith and resilience. Whether you're...

GOD (Part 3). Every person knows there is a God. Creation bears witness of Him. Consciences speak of Him. There is a sense that He is and we're accountable to Him. How can the unknown be known? How can we move beyond distressing feelings to deep-seated faith in this God that exists? What evidence is there that He is and wants a relationship with us? Join us as we look at Acts 17:30-34.

GOD (Part 2). There are many who believe. There are many who don't. History proves there is a hunger among humans that is never satisfied with a pursuit of God in forms of religion/spirituality. Many are left discouraged in their search for origin/meaning/destiny. Can we be certain of God? Why is there a continual emptiness in our souls and a longing for something deeper? What evidence and assuran...
