"Stories" Series / Week 2:  Community is at the heart of what Jesus calls us into. Surrounding yourself with people who encourage, challenge and lift you up is vital to stepping into the life God has for you.

"Stories" Series / Week 1:  At the core of our story is a mission and at the core of that mission is the pursuit of Christ. Every disciple and every Church will ultimately be measured by their pursuit of Him.

We are a blessed people. But to what end or purpose are we blessed? God blesses us so that we might be a blessing to all people, everywhere.

As God's creation, we are called to mirror His nature - stepping into a life marked with joy.

The gospel is not only practical; it is beautiful and soul-satisfying. Jesus offers us more than a religious belief system. He invites us on a journey to experience daily the life that God has for us.

The Lord tells us that He will rescue those who love Him and protect those who trust in His name. Do you need to call out to God today for rescue, protection or salvation?

Throughout Scripture, we see that there is power unleashed when the people of God sing - the power to remember and to be comforted, to connect our heart and mind, and to have freedom over oppression.

The path to joy amidst personal guilt comes through the process of repentance. Repentance comes through confessing sin and thanking God for his forgiveness through Christ as we are transformed by the Holy Spirit.

In the Bible, we read of people who longed for freedom and paid any price to know God deeply. Why don’t we? Why are we so content? What does a life of longing look like, and how do we faithfully step into it?

In seasons of trouble, we often ask, "Why is this happening?" However, what we often discover on the other side of trouble is that God was preparing us to be sent out on mission to the world around us.

Take back your faith from your circumstances and condition, and place your faith in the hands of a good Father. He is for you, He is with you, and He is a very present help in trouble.

Of all the parents in the entire world, God chose you to raise your kids. Are you raising God-worshipping, fully-devoted followers of Jesus or culturally compliant citizens? There is an invitation to a life that God has for your child and you are a guide.

Our sin can leave us feeling burdened & broken. When we confess that brokenness to Jesus, He forgives us & mends us in those broken places, freeing us to step into the Life God has for us.

Many men today feel insignificant as masculinity is under attack in our culture. Psalm 128 dispels the lie that our culture tells us - that there is no need for men. As we take a look at the story of Joseph, we are given a picture of the type of father we've always wanted to be.

Psalm 23 is one of the most comforting and familiar of the psalms. However, it was written as an invitation to step into the life that God has for you. It reminds the weary that no matter the road ahead, the darkness around, or the enemy nearby, God is near!

The Psalmist, whose conditions and circumstances were often more dire than our own, found a way to conquer fear by finding God. What has fear kept you from doing? What would you do, or attempt, if you knew you would not fail?

Through the Psalms, we learn that thanksgiving and praise are more than just words. They are rhythms meant to transform us from the inside out.

The writer of Psalm 145 challenges us to live lives that praise and proclaim God's great works despite our circumstance or situation.

True happiness is experienced when a person delights in the Word of God. Psalm 1 is an invitation to step into a life of worship which leads us to the root of obedience.

Remembering who God is will remind us who we are to God. Our true identity is found in Him alone.

Following the biggest day of the church year, Easter Sunday, the question for all of us now becomes...what's next? Where do we go from here?

When the truth of Easter occurs to you, it changes everything. Jesus came to give us life, not just for us to exist, but to truly live.

"Kingdom Come" Series / Week 8: As followers of Jesus, we like to think we already believe. But often, we find ourselves somewhere belief and unbelief. So what does it really mean to believe?
