Grief is a proper response to loss. But faith in unwavering God is exactly what we need in times of loss. God is with you in your loss and He is bigger than your loss. 

Let's face it- no one likes change. Our brains love consistency. We are hardwired to resist change. But change is inevitable. When it comes to these times of transition, we can go in one of two ways - stray away from God or have faith in Him. Which will you pick? 

What do you think of when you think of faith? It's a religious word that gets thrown around all the time. "Faith" and "Belief" are often used interchangeably. But what faith really is, and how it plays out in our lives, may be completely different than what you think. 

It seems that if God is really good, that there would be no pain or suffering in the world. In this message, we talk about where suffering comes from and how God is involved. We don’t have all the answers, but we believe in having the conversation.

We all face temptation. Our first instinct is to try and fight the craving with willpower. But there is a deeper issue. It’s starts in the heart. Why do we really give in to temptation? And how can we see through the bait to the trap behind it?

Your words literally have the potential to change the lives of others. Looking at Ephesians 4, we learn how to speak life and help others become who they were created to be.

Proverbs says the careless words stab like a sword. Our words can literally bring death to others, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. So how can we make sure we aren't going through life stabbing others needlessly by the way we talk?

Do our words really matter that much? They're just noise. Surely they can't be that powerful. But they are! Words have changed nations and cultures. So where do our words come from? And what can we do about it?

God is obsessed with the ONE. One sheep. One coin. One son.  Once we get home, our attention should also shift to the one. Who is the one who isn't home and what must we do to reach them?

What's so good about living in God's house? Aren't there rules and expectations? Of course there are. But there are benefits that can't be matched from our worldly lives. So the question is: are we going to settle for a tent? Or live in an eternal home?

While we can make a decision to follow God in an instant, it takes time to "get home" and for our lives to actually change. The journey doesn't happen overnight. It's a process. It's not easy, but it's best.

NOTE - Audio for the first 1:24 is low quality. There’s no place like home. But what is home? And if it’s so great, why is it that we tend to try to get away from it? In this message we take a look at one of the most famous stories ever told and try to see where running from God get us and what happens when we decide to come back to Him.

Take a few minutes in a quiet place and pray along with this guided prayer built around Luke 15.

Sometimes, we want to do the wise thing, but we just can't figure out what that is. It's usually because we are going down a path we've never been down before. So what do we do when we don't know the wise thing to do?

Often the place where we make the most foolish decisions and cause the longest lasting regrets is in the area of sex. In this message, we talk about how to identify sexual sin well before it happens and how to be wise in the way we approach it. Listen to this message! It could change your future!

There is one thing we can't buy more of, no matter how much time we have...and that's time. So we must use it wisely, rather than waste it. In this message, we share 5 truths about time that will change the way you live your life.

What if you could live a life with fewer regrets? What if there was a filter that you could run every single decision through that would eliminate the regrets that follow you for the rest of your life? Is that something you'd be interested in?
