In life we sometimes experience things that we can't quite comprehend. How do you process such moments? How do you bridge the gap between experience and the explanation of the experience? At times, we are left with more questions rather than explanations in these moments. This Easter we look at some of the big questions we often ask ourselves and examine how the Bible would answer them.

What do you do when you have to keep something valuable safe? Where do you store it? When faced with a task like this, we often look for the safest, most secure place we can find. Whether it's a bank or a safe for our money, or maybe a high quality phone case with the right screen protector for the newly purchased phone. We take measures to make sure that our valuable possession is kept safe. We b...

As we come to the close of our sermon series, we explore the final instructions given to Daniel as he continues to live in exile. Join us on this last sermon through our series as we explore what it means to stand for God in a culture that opposes him.

How do you respond when you feel pressured and intimidated? Do you run away, clam up, or do you have confidence. Take a look at how Jesus responded in a moment people tried to pressure him and learn how you can gain confidence and clarity in life.

When we are interested in a topic or want to grow in a certain area of our lives, the most productive thing we can do is to to seek out the experts. We nay do this by reading books, follow experts on social media, or even meeting with people who can help us develop in these areas. Doing this in our spiritual life, helps us as we strive to grow in our walk with Christ. In the arena of prayer, one s...

Who is Jesus? Is He really God or just a mere human that somewhere along the way go the title of God? As Christians, we affirm Jesus' divinity, the world we live in does not. We live in a culture that often questions the validity of this claim, and goes as far as devaluing or even denying it. So how can we be sure of who He is? Just like we do today, Daniel lived in a time where the people around...

As Christians, we often face a daunting amount of pressure in regards to our faith. At times, we may be face with the choice of giving in to the demands of society or facing the consequences of choosing our faith.

Life challenges each of us in unique ways. At times, it seems like all is good and so life is peaceful. Then there are the moments that wreak havoc and bring us pain. However, it matters how we respond to both extremes. At times, when life is good and prosperous, we fall to the temptation of believing that we are the architects of our prosperity instead as a blessing from God. And in times of bad,...

In our world currently, everyone around us seems to have a position they maintain on almost every issue. In such moments, as Christians, we can find ourselves at odds with how the world thinks. Because our faith demands that we think and respond to these issues biblically, we can face a great amount of pressure from those around us to give in to the way they think and to even give up on our faith....

We live in a culture that in many aspects, have declared themselves free of God. We see this in our politics, education, pop-culture, technology, and so on. In the midst of this, we are called as Christians, to have our identity firmly rooted in Christ and to live life with our focus on Him. However, we are also called not to merely journey through life, watching out for ourselves. Instead, we are...

How do you protect what is yours? We devote a lot of our effort and invest considerable resources in protecting our possessions in many aspects of our lives. How do you protect what is spiritually yours? How do you keep the world and the enemy from capturing and destroying your God-given identity? Join us as we start a new series in the book of Daniel as we explore what it is to follow God in a cu...

As a culture, we are consumers who buy, experience, read, listen, and enjoy unlike any other. Sometimes, we allow this culture to make its way into church. At times, our worship services and our gatherings become more about us than it's true purpose. So, what is the purpose that we are called to? Is our faith one that merely consumes what God has for us or is there more to it. Join us as we contin...

We live in a world where anxiety abounds. Whether it is regarding our future, our finances, our safety, or a myriad of other reasons, we have plenty to be anxious about. So, how do we deal with anxiety? While there are thousands of resources available to us on the web, in bookstores, and at doctors offices, these practices only lead to a temporary fix and often, we find ourselves being anxious abo...

As believers, the Bible plays a strong role and has much to say about how we live our lives. However, there are times when the Bible hits us hard. It challenges us to change how we are living. How do we respond when the Bible hits us hard? Do we allow it to shape us? Or do we try to change it to fit into our lives? Within His Word, God teaches us how we are to face these times in our lives. Join u...

How do you respond in times of crisis and trial? James in his letter gives us some final exhortations on how we are to do that. Listen in as we explore what James has to say about this in the last sermon in this series.

How do you live with what you have? Our wealth and possessions are an expression of God’s kindness to us. However, at times we may misuse what God has blessed us with, placing more value on our riches than on the people He has placed in our lives. Our focus sometimes shifts from a reliance on God to our own abilities to accumulate and keep our wealth. We become people focused only on our present c...

Are you a planner? We may do it differently and use various methods, but in one way or another we all like to have a plan. We set reminders on our phones and mark appointments on our calendars. We have retirement plans in order and college funds funded. We are planners. But, how do we as Christians approach planning? Does God have anything to say about our plans and how we make them? How does our...

We have all experienced conflict in many areas of our lives. Be it at home within the family, with your spouse, on the job, or with friends, it is a reality that we live with. All too often, we experience conflict within the church too. These conflicts do not represent Christ well. So, how do understand conflict and what hope do we have of reducing it? Listen in as we continue in the book of James...

Have you ever said something that made someone's day? Or uttered some misplaced words that led to bad consequences. Our words are more powerful than we realize. Our tongues are a small part of our physical body, but has incredible control over all aspects of our lives through what we say. So how do we maintain control over our tongue before it controls us? How do we live lives where our words brin...

What's more important to you? What people say or what they do? How does it play out in your own life? Do you put more emphasis on what you believe or on how you live out what you believe? Listen in as we look at the book of James, in our series Putting Your Faith to Work.

Have you noticed that you become more like those you surround yourself with? Maybe you find that you think very much like your friends, or that you finish your spouse's sentences, or you speak like the people in the town to which you moved. That's because we shape our relationships and our relationships shape us. So if our relationships shape us, how do you know which relationships help us become...
