Submerge Sermons

Do you ever feel out of place around church or the Bible, like everybody knows what's going on more than you? Or feel like you've been doing the church/Bible thing for awhile but are stuck/bored (and embarrassed to admit it). On Sunday we learned some vital spiritual practices together--how to get started as beginnners, and how to go deeper into each of them as more experienced people...

No matter who we are, how we're wired, or what we think makes us misfits (introvert/extrovert, behind the scenes person/up front leader, overlooked/undervalued)--God has a whole new identity (the best version of ourselves) and new purpose (full of meaning) for us! Are you ready to embrace it?

What do we do when we've felt disillusioned or disappointed with God, His church, or His followers? How do we navigate that and find the faith keep going? Listen to our important message on how to navigate these disappointments and still emerge with hope!

Do you ever feel alone in your struggles, in your spiritual journey, or in life? Did you know that's not how God intended for it to be?

Nearly everybody struggles with doubts when it comes to their faith--and we end up afraid of them, or stuck in them, or letting them pull us away from God.

Learn with us from two powerful Bible stories as we submerge i...

In our world where so many things are pulling us in so many directions, and people are chasing after so many people & pursuits--how do we stay grounded in Jesus? How do we remember Him as someone who cares about more than just the afterlife, but life in this life? And how do we remember who we are, and become true Kingdom people? (1 John 2 -- Guest speaker: Zach Hafner)

Did you know forgiveness is actually good for your health--physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? So why is it so hard? On Sunday we submerged into the story of David, to learn why forgiving in any circumstance (especially the hardest ones) has to start from grasping how deeply we've been forgiven, and by learning how to forgive ourselves...
