Paul deals with the church's disregard for spiritual living. We look to our first love and find that sometimes the disciplines of behavior are needed to spark the heart.

While the vastness of God may always remain a mystery, Paul encourages his church to realize they're not entirely in the dark when it comes to knowing their creator.

Background on Corinth and the realities of fear in the midst of calling.

Beginning a dive into the story of the Corinthians and the struggle of being faithful.

Christmas Eve is a familiar reminder of an amazing story.

Processing the unprecedented events of California's worst fire.

The trials of life don't just test us, they reveal us. In this portion of Acts we look at Stephen and how the work of God can sometimes hurt in the moment.

Jesus was relatable to the people he encountered and discipled his followers to be the same. We look at the turn of persecution in the early church and how it was now, more that ever, important to stick together.

Hearing the voice can sometimes feel intimidating until we remember God wants to be heard. Guest speaker, Suzie Brock.

In those times when we've waited so long for something that we begin to believe it's never going to happen, Jesus reminds us he's present and dead isn't always dead.

We find the transformational compassion of Jesus in a story of exhaustion, depression and when we give it our all and still come up short.

Classes and social circles threaten to destroy the early church from the inside out.

Pastor Brian Hays breaks down life in community and why we strive to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

In this week's story, a lame man simply wanted to be supported in the condition that he was in; God wanted to completely change his condition. And so it is with us.

We shape our communities and our communities shape us. Acts 2:46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity.

Pentecost brought forth a message that wasn’t seeker sensitive and was preached to people who weren’t seeking and yet thousands were transformed.

The mission is God’s. The marvel is that he invites us to join. Jesus promised to build his church and he meant it. It's the job he picked for himself because he's the best suited to do it well. Our job is not to build the church, but to build each other.

What does place say about us? Who do we become because of it? We shape our spaces and our spaces shape us. God covers our shortcomings with his unconditional covenant of love.

Abraham gets involved in a tribal war and becomes a hero to the people. Lot becomes enslaved to his new life. God continues to be faithful.

With all the pressure around us in life, it's good to be reminded that it's ok to use the turnout. In this part of Abram's story we see him step aside from the pursuit (and tension) of building wealth with Lot. God reaffirms his promise.

God's call on our lives rarely comes at the moment of our choosing. Abraham finds himself deep in God's work and the costs on his life are great. We find God's divine promises yield providential preservation.

Abraham comes out of Egypt and wanders around between the house of God and a place of ruin looking for a place to restart. We'll learn that when we get lost it can help to go back to the last time the path was clear.

Famine takes Father Abraham to Egypt and with it a turn to the dark side. We process our place and significance of returning to the altar.
