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...

What does generosity truly mean? How does the Bible instruct us to be joyful and generous givers? Where should our motive for generosity come from? These are all questions that can be important in our walk with Christ. Our generosity affects those around us and in God's Word, Paul teaches us how we can use the means we have been given by His grace to bless others. Join us for our final week of our...

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 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.

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...

What defines your relationship with your children? What gives them meaning? What does God desire out of your relationship with them? God has a purpose for this relationship shared by parents and children. In our new series, RelationSHAPE, we will explore how God shapes our most important relationships.

For those of us that are married, it is the most important relationship we have outside of the one we have with God. How did your marriage start? Was it because you fell hopelessly in love? or was it because you finally found someone who was perfectly compatable with you. Maybe you found someone who was very much like you or maybe even unlike you. While all these reasons are good, how do you keep...

If you have ever flown anywhere, you've probably stood in a line where the first class, business class, and about three other boarding groups boarded the aircraft before you did. While these experiences take place for a variety of reasons, they often leave the person frustrated, slighted, and disheartened that they do not belong, or that they are not in the "in-crowd." How does we as Christians me...

As Christians, we take care to listen to the Word of God. We listen to sermons at church, podcasts, conferences, and a myriad of other ways. But what do we do with this Word? James has a caution for us in James 1. Listen in as we explore what James has to say to us today.

We have all at some point been tempted to take a shortcut in life. Whether that's on the road, in our relationships, or at work, we've been there. Where does such temptation come from and where does it lead us? James give us an answer in our series "Putting Your Faith to Work."

How do we live our best life now? Well to answer that, we ought to ask what the "best life" entails. Is the "best life" one full of happiness and good things and with the absence of hardship or trials? So often our lifes seem to consumed by tough moments. Is there a place for the rough things in life? How does God use these moments to enable us to live our best lives now. Join us as we look at the...

Have you ever said, posted, texted something that was taken the wrong way? You were misunderstood, causing a conflict to arise. When we do not know the intent behind something heard, seen, read, or experienced, a misunderstanding arises. We have come to the last sermon in our series in the book of John. As we do, we ask the important question of why John wrote the book and how it applies to us.

You and I have had moments where things just do not go our way. How do you respond in such moments? Today, we'll look at Jesus' approach to this question. Join us as we continue our sermon series, Believe, on the book of John.
