Being faithful to one thing means you have to be unfaithful to others.

This intro message to our Colossians series is about our perception, looking at what we think about God, ourselves, and others.

Trey walks line by l...

Have you ever felt like you wanted things that weren’t good for you? Or wished you wanted things that were? Maybe you’ve felt something like this: a part of you wants to get back at someone for what they said to you and another part wants to forgive and move toward kindness. We have a war of wants, of desires, of loves. In this message, we look at a popular passage in Psalm 37 about God giving us...

In this message in our Water We Swim In series, Trey talks about beauty and the beauty of God and learning to see and appreciate beauty. *Sorry for the audio issues. Our audio recording went out, and we tried to salvage the audio. Revelation 1:14-19 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined...

Do you ever feel unseen? Overlooked? In this week's message, Trey talks about a powerful story of someone who is taken advantage of, hurt, and used, where she describes God as "the God who sees me." It's a story about a woman named Hagar and her discovering she was pregnant with Ishmael. She is the only person in the Old Testament to directly name God, and this is what name she a...

You are being shaped by the world you live in. Oftentimes, this happens to us without us even realizing it. It 's the water we swim in.

This story is often referred to the story of the prodigal son. This story, though is about more than one son. Jesus tells this story about two sons and a father. The two sons take two different paths toward fulfillment. Tim Keller in his book Prodigal God says that the younger son pursued fulfillment through the path of self-discovery and the older son through the path of moral conformity. One aim...

Have you ever reached a point of desperation? In this message, we talk about a beautiful question Jesus asked and a response of bringing everything we have to him, coming in need. We look at labeling our pain and confessing our sins as prime ways to prepare for an encounter with God. #sermon #sermonclip #nashvillechurch

*Please note. We experienced technical difficulties, and so the audio is not as good quality as normal. Trey had planned to continue our series on fasting and had a sermon prepared, but in a posture of obedience and openness to the Spirit, we went a different direction. We pray it blesses you.

In our second week of our series on fasting through Practicing the Way, we look at fasting as a way of growing in holiness. We hope it blesses you. Let us know what stands out to you.

Should Christians fast? In this message, we kick-off a four week series on fasting via Practicing the Way. If fasting from a Christian perspective is a new thing for you, you're not alone.
