The dictionary defines worship as "to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion." It means considering something so valuable that we shape our lives around it. However, many of us end up worshipping the wrong things, which results in a life that becomes increasingly void of meaning.

As we make resolutions for change, we often struggle to keep them. Statistics show that almost half to two-thirds of Americans fail to stick to their resolutions. Many need to turn their goals into habits or seek accountability. How can we form habits that transform our lives in 2024 as a church family? We have an exciting opportunity for you to join us for our upcoming series, "5 Habits for Life....

Plenty of sources will tell us that in the New Year, we lack something or that we need something to get ourselves back on track. What if the secret to really living a full life is not in looking for what we lack but hoping for what we have?

What makes for a great gift? The angels declared one of the greatest gifts in the person of Jesus: peace. This King would come to bring his shalom. This is not just the absence of conflict but a total wholeness. If you feel looked over and like you don’t belong, this peace is for you. If you feel like your time of grieving and waiting will never end, God’s word assures us that Joy will come in the...

Trinity's Senior Pastor, Nick Price, and Trinity's Director of Worship Arts, Erica Mertz, talk about the role worship plays in our walk with God.

On Sunday, we will explore Mary's story and song, "The Magnificat," in the advent narrative. While Mary plays a crucial role in this story, her song highlights God's character. It shows that God uplifts the distressed into his greater plans and purpose. Mary is well aware of her low status, challenges, and even loneliness. But when the creator of the universe remembers her, she can't help but "glo...

The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV)

We have reached the end of the Book of Exodus, and now we witness the story's climax: God has come to dwell with His people. The purpose of the Exodus narrative was not solely to rescue the Israelites from slavery but to lead them toward a relationship with God. He is not just a distant God but present with us. This is the true essence of salvation.

As we delve deeper into the book of Exodus, we witness Moses pleading for his people. This encounter with God reminds us of the true meaning of experiencing God's glory and the path to establishing a lifelong relationship with a compassionate, gracious, and loving God. From the burning bush to this conversation, we are inspired to seek and experience the glory of God in our own lives. It can be a...

In this midweek podcast, Pastor Nick and Pastor Roy dig deeper into the problem with Idols.

Idolatry poses a grave threat to our relationship with God. However, the passage for this weekend serves as a reminder that we have the potential to break free from the idols that reside in our hearts with the aid of a mediator who intercedes for us before God. The story is incredibly powerful and can encourage us to turn to Jesus, the only one capable of liberating us from our constraints.

We are continuing our exploration of the book of Exodus. In this week's section, we come to the famous giving of the 10 Commandments. The 10 Commandments are a law code that Western society has looked to through the ages as the basis for all laws and morality. Sadly, this has led to the impression among many that this is ultimately what God came to do: to give us laws to obey so that we will be we...

The story of the parting of the Red Sea is seen by many as the climax of the book of Exodus. It is the final escape from slavery in Egypt and the moment in which the Israelites are finally freed from the rule of Pharaoh. And what it reveals to us is that we all need rescue. Specifically this encounter reveals what we need rescue from, how we can escape it, and who makes it possible. We need rescue...

Dr. John Walton joins Pastor Nick in a discussion on how we should approach reading the plague narratives that take place in the book of Exodus.

The plague narratives are some of the most dramatic scenes in the whole Bible. They’ve been powerfully and visually depicted in films like The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, and Exodus: Gods & Kings. But what we often miss in these dramatic re-tellings is that all of the plagues are intended to answer one simple question from Pharoah: “Who is Yahweh that I should obey him?” The answer is t...

What is so significant about Exodus? How does it contribute to our understanding of God and His story? Explore these questions and more in this midweek episode.

The opening section of Exodus sets the stage for all of the drama that follows. But even here, we learn some important things about salvation. Specifically, in this story of midwives and mothers, we learn that salvation is rescue from the misery and slavery of serving anything in your life as more important than God, that we are usually prepared for salvation by God working behind the scenes throu...

Our series ends this week, reminding us of one more thing the Sabbath does: it trains us for the coming Kingdom. It is a way of orienting our time and our days toward The Day when God will come again and make “all things new.” It is a reminder that the rest and restoration we experience on that day is but a glimpse of what God will ultimately do.

As we continue Rethinking Rest, let’s explore one more reason why the Sabbath is so important: it is a place where God desires to give us the rest and the healing that we so desperately need. It enables us to slow down, take stock of all He has provided, and bring any needs before Him. When we tend to work constantly, we cultivate the idea that what we have is the result of our efforts rather than...

In the book of Exodus, the people are commanded to rest on the seventh day because it is “a sabbath to the Lord your God.” Now, stop and think about that for just a moment. God doesn’t need rest. God doesn’t need the Sabbath…but He does enjoy it. Why?

Far too many of us live at a frantic pace: rushing from one place to another with barely room to breathe. “I’m busy” has become the common answer to the question, “How are you doing?”

As we conclude our Life in Light of Eternity series, we focus on the final part of Paul's letter to the Ephesians. In this section, Paul reminds the Ephesians that they have new relationships with others and a fresh connection with the spiritual world. Consequently, we must fight against "the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." We invite you to join us in worship this coming weekend...
