Maybe the most dangerous, audacious question we could ask in regards to prayer is this: "What can we expect to happen when we pray?" Another way to say this: "What is the PRODUCT of PRAYER?" Pastor Fike is going to walk us down the narrow road of a healthy prayer life, and point out the ditches along the way.

One of the strangest “turns” in all of scripture happens in Ephesians 6.  In a move that is so incredibly counter-intuitive, the Apostle Paul tells us that we are in a fight that no Christian can claim exemption from, and this fight is for the souls of mankind, so we’d better suit up and get spiritually prepared for the fight; but, what he prescribes after all of that is not what any War General w...

Sometimes, Prayer can feel like something "Professional Christians" know how to do, and "Regular People" honestly shouldn't even try. But, Jesus put prayer in the hands of the Regular People - so all of us regular people need to make the decision to pursue the Supernatural Process of Prayer. The question is: "How?" And, John Wilson's going to help us with a very simple, very repeatable answer to t...

Is Prayer a COMMANDMENT? Does God ORDER us to pray? If not - why not? If so - how does that affect our understanding of Love? Prayer, for the Christian, is an URGENT matter… but, what if God’s Purpose for prayer doesn’t quite line up with ours? 

Dating in the 21st Century is hard. Harder still if you're trying to uphold ancient values. What does the Bible have to say about "dating"? And, how does this idea apply to more than just SINGLE PEOPLE?

Most of the Ten Commandments make good sense. Murder, Theft, Idolatry... but, there's one on the list that really makes you wonder why it's there. "Honor Your Mother And Your Father". What does that mean? How are we supposed to do it? GREAT QUESTIONS - and you've tuned into the right place to get those answers...

Every parent knows that the clock is ticking. Whether the clock is in plain sight or a distant-future reminder - the day is coming when the children God has entrusted to their care will be launched into the world. So, the job of a parent is to equip their children with a FULL-CUP for the life that's awaiting them. This. Is. Urgent.

There is one inescapable element in every relationship that's ever existed... one critical component that can make or break a relationship... CONFLICT.  And, here's the thing... even though it's inescapable, many of us tend to avoid it altogether.  But, Christianity simply cannot approach the topic of Conflict Resolution the same way that the world does. God's expectation for His people is that we...

"Leadership" is a big word that carries big weight. But, the leaders of the Bible didn't carry big names - only big faith. What does it look like for a church to carry the weight of leadership together? Gary Shackleton (Send Network Church Planter Catalyst) shares some thoughts on this big idea...

Everyone you know has an opinion about marriage - why it's good or bad... why it's worth it or not... whether it's a gift or a curse. But, since God's the one who invented it, shouldn't we ask the question: "What's God's Purpose For Marriage?" That's exactly what we did in this message from our URGENT CARE series.

In Week One of the URGENT CARE series, Pastor Fike presented the Biblical Reality that everything Jesus did was all in an effort to reunite His Father with His Father's Children. Mission Accomplished... but, the question that looms for us, (if, in fact, Christianity is NOT a Religion, but a Relationship), is... HOW? This week, we'll delve into that question.

There is a common sentiment about the Easter Story - a group-think diagnosis of what took place that blessed morning. But, as in the case of Urgent Care Professionals, very often, the initial diagnosis only really attends to the loudest symptoms. What if Easter is about more just a risen Savior? What if the very thing Jesus accomplished that day is what He spent His life proclaiming? Could it be t...

As we close out this RESIDENT ALIENS series, there's one last meaningful reality Peter wants us to remember - that the "now-and-not-yet" is our reality, and we're all going to have to simply acclimate to it. Find out why from "friend of the house" Jonathan Madrid.

The Beatles famously sang: “All You Need Is Love”.  The Apostle Peter’s got a different idea.  Find out what it it is in this week’s sermon from our RESIDENT ALIENS series… 

Some of the most iconic “aliens” in pop culture history are recognizable just from the silhouette of their posture.  What if Christians - RESIDENT ALIENS - were JUST as iconic… just as recognizable…  And what if all it took to make the connection was a simple adjustment to our “Alien Posture”?  As Peter finishes his first letter to the RESIDENT ALIENS - he has something to say about the subject. 

Do You know What Time It is?  Peter's got some answers for that question... 

You’re gonna hear some stats today that suggest that Christ-Followers need more equipping and practice than they’re actually receiving. Pastor Fike decided, instead of just sharing those stats and lamenting their reality, to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. And, we’d like to invite you to participate in the process, too… 

Have you heard the phrase “In It - Not Of It”?  Have you USED the phrase?  Pastor Fike, Peter, and, well, Jesus would all very much like to offer a gentle correction to all of God’s RESIDENT ALIENS walking the Planet Earth.  Find out why in this week’s sermon from 1 Peter 2:18-3:10. 

This whole series is elevating our thoughts to a different and higher level.  It's demanding of us that we dileneate the difference between the culture of our world and the Kingdom we now belong to as Christians. We need to learn to "think Kingdom" and "live like Jesus"... and this week's passage proves that it's much easier said than done. 

What does the Christian - "resident alien" - experience have to do with the SPHERE in Las Vegas? And, HOW does the Apostle Peter suggest we go about living like aliens on this crazy planet of ours?

Sometimes, certain passages of scripture can lead to Kanye-levels of exasperation. This is one of those passages. The Apostle Peter, in an attempt to galvanize and encourage the displaced, dispersed, disheartened “Resident Aliens” spread across the diaspora reminds them that they are to “be holy”. Like… what? How? Maybe “holiness” isn’t what we think it is…

Any Cultural Anthropologist would most certainly pay attention to the parts of culture that bring joy, elation, warmth and cheer. But, you can't evaluate a people-group without leaning in to the "sore subject" of PAIN. Pain's a part of human life BEFORE Jesus... but what about after? Why should pain persist as a part of Christian Life? What is the Purpose of Pain?

We're kicking off a new Sermon Series in the books of 1 & 2 Peter called "RESIDENT ALIENS". What is an "alien"... and why does Peter address us as such? Find out in the first two verses of 1 Peter 1... and get ready to sign up for "Alien Life"!

It’s a new year, but, it’s still the same you.  Last year, you faced all sorts of struggles and trials of many kinds.  Guess what? This year, you will again.  Life’s not about avoiding pain - It’s about learning from it.  Melissa Janish can testify to that reality.  And, this week, at TMC- she did.  With the help of the person in our Bibles most synonymous with trials of many kinds, (Job), Melissa...
