   Back to Daniel with an astounding vision of a glorious one. The question on Daniel's tongue is "who is like God?" This question is both easy and difficult to answer. Join us as we ask the question together.  Support the show

   There are many questions we will never get answers to on this side of heaven. A lot of our lives are wrapped up in mystery. While this can be frustrating we also know that God knows all the mysteries. The unknown is known by the God we serve who's goal is to shape us and form us. In the mystery we find we are not alone. Join us this weekend for worship.  Support the show

   We all want to hear new things from God; but often we forget what we’ve already heard and not obeyed.  New revelation requires obedience to past revelation. Join us this week as talk about the importance of confession through prayer.  Support the show

   Daniel received an incredible vision in the depths of exile - that the Son of Man would come to establish a new kingdom, unchallenged by even the most ferocious beast! This week we reflect on an ancient prophesy of a very near reality, that Christ conquered sin and death and that He has risen, indeed! Support the show

   On Palm Sunday we celebrate and unlikely king coming to power in an unlikely way. Similarly, in Daniel chapter 6 we see how God works in ways that surprise and shock us. Join us as we celebrate and seek to search for the unexpected triumph of Jesus. Support the show

   It is quite possible we can listen without ever hearing, see without understanding and think without ever reasoning. In this fifth chapter of Daniel we hear a story about this very thing! Hopefully as we lean in together to this cautionary tale we can start to ask: how can I increase my awareness for what God might be up to in and around me? Support the show

   No matter how chaotic the world around us can get, as people of faith we know that the Kingdom of God will prevail in the end. This hope of a future new heaven and earth gives us the courage to walk through this world. Join us this weekend as we continue the study in the Book of Daniel.  Support the show

   For Daniel and his friends working for the king and in Babylon meant that they followed the king's orders. However, there was a line in the sand. They would not bow or worship the king or any other god but their God in heaven. What can we learn from this simple yet bold, singular devotion to God? Support the show

   As people of faith we hold onto the hope that God will return and "make all things new." Until that day however, we experience injustice and evil in a broken world. This "Babylon" can sometimes feel like it will last forever. How do we navigate a broken world with hope? The answer is not to ignore, escape or minimize the pain, but to seek the presence of God. It is God'...

   Daniel has captured my heart in recent years. This incredible section of scripture is unique in its prophetic, apocalyptic, and biographical content. It tells the story of an intriguing prophet named Daniel, a person who proved that living a life of faith in a foreign culture is not only possible but necessary. In our church we aim to be missional which puts us at odds at times with our culture...

   We are called to rejoice always not because things always go well, but because Jesus promises and end to injustice and suffering. This week as we see many challenges around us, we still have reason for joy and peace. Join us this weekend as we worship Jesus and pray together.  Support the show

   Paul closes his letter to the Philippians with some very practical matters and a very high calling to focus on Jesus. How can we at once mind the practical and move toward Jesus? See you Friday as we study the final chapter of a powerful letter together!  Support the show

   As we grow in discipleship we start realizing that God wants us to serve Him on a daily basis. But sometimes we are held back by doubt, failure, and the past. How do we move forward? St. Paul reminds us to forget what lies behind and press forward to what lies ahead toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. How do we do this practically? Join us for worship, fello...

Here's the encouragement this week: knowing Jesus is good! Here's the warning: forget the rest! What's the rest? How do we do that? What does it mean to know Jesus? Good questions! We will study that together this Sunday in this verse by verse exploration of Philippians 3:1-11. Support the show

We are told to work out our salvation. How does that work? Isn't salvation a gift from God? A gift unopened and unused is a gift that cannot be fully enjoyed. God gives salvation but we are asked to engage in this gift not just for our salvation but for the benefit of those around us. Join us this weekend for fellowship and worship as we explore this topic.  Support the show

We all want to be more like Jesus but that's harder said than done. How do we love others, serve others and look to the interest of others? Part of the answer lies not in our behavior but who or what we worship. Join us this weekend as we continue our study in Philippians. Support the show

Encouragements and Warnings: A Worthy Life    We all go through joy and suffering. Most of us think that when times are bad, we first need to get through the difficulty before we are able to serve Jesus and others. The Scriptures tell a different story, however. God works not only through our victories but even more through our difficulties. Communion with God unlocks His power in all seasons of l...

We start the New Year with a study in the Letter to the Philippians. This new church received both encouragement and a warning to stay "in Christ" to continue growing. Both of these messages are desperately needed for the church today. We need to be encouraged and also reminded of the power of the Gospel. Join us in 2022 as we kick off this new Sermon Series!

The Scriptures proclaim, "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him (1 John 4:9)." During this season we celebrate the fact that God "showed up" and that He continues to show up in the lives of those that seek him. Join us this weekend for worship and fellowship! Support the show

   God promised peace on earth among those with whom "He is pleased (Luke 2:14)." The story of the angel choir and the shepherds reveal to us that peace itself comes from God and can only be found through faith in Jesus. This week we look at the importance of finding peace in the right source and how that impacts our daily lives.  Support the show

Our world has less hope today. A lot of things we used to trust have failed us and this has caused despair and frustration. As we enter Advent however, we are reminded that our ultimate hope is in Jesus. He is the Solid Rock upon which our life is built. No matter what happens, because of Jesus we can move boldly into the future. Join us this weekend Support the show

Did you know the word "holiday" comes form Old English for "Holy Day?" Surprisingly, the holidays can set off a mad dash that seems anything but holy. The whole point of holidays is to help us pause and ultimately reflect on the presence of God in our midst. How can we reclaim this beautiful posture as we enter a season full of both celebration and a whole lot of busyness? Supp...

   We all want to be trusted by others. Sometimes however, we overcomplicate things by saying yes to too many things to look good. This leads to burnout and stress. Jesus simplifies life by emphasizing the need to be transparent with our "yes" and our "no." Join us this week as we worship and talk about being trustworthy.  Support the show
