If you had to pick the single most important thing about the Christian faith, what would it be? There are lots of great choices including love, grace, mercy, justice and purpose. And if you went to church as a kid, maybe you discovered that "Jesus" is often the correct answer to most questions about faith. It's true in this case as well, but it's not His teachings or His healings that top the list...

Whether it's a simple log placed over a narrow creek or a steel architectural marvel spanning a raging river, bridges have long been the solution for traversing obstacles in our path. With the right materials, ingenuity and effort, previously unreachable places become accessible. As Christ-followers, we need to span the obstacle of sin with a bridge for reaching others about Jesus. But through His...

We've all heard them and maybe even believed them. They're religious clichés that roll off the tongue -- or share easily on social media -- and seem to capture a complicated facet of faith in some helpful way. But under biblical scrutiny, statements like "God won't give you more than you can handle" and "God helps those who help themselves" actually miss the mark. Separating fact from fiction can...

Drive a car long enough, and the time will come when you turn the ignition key -- and nothing happens. Odds are that you have a dead battery, and you need a jump start. Sometimes faith is like that -- like when you're facing a life-struggle and your faith is getting you nowhere. That's when you need a different kind of jump start. The good news is that there are fundamental faith practices that ca...

“The waiting is the hardest part” In Tom Petty’s famous song “The Waiting”, he talks about how waiting can be one of the more difficult parts of life. The same goes with waiting on God. We typically expect God to answer prayers on our timetable. In reality he fulfills our prayers based on His timetable and His will. Sometimes this can simply be uncomfortable and other times it can be downright pai...

Every Christmas, we look forward to certain traditions involving family and friends. But over time, some of these traditions can fade away. People, relationships and circumstances change. And that can leave us wondering: What does it really look like to have a family Christmas? By celebrating Jesus' birth, we can discover how to make every Christmas one in which we share joy with the family we fin...

We can find Jesus' longest recorded prayer in John 17. Sometimes referred to as Christ's high priestly prayer -- and regarded by many as His greatest -- it represents what He valued as He neared the end of His ministry and life. Likewise, it can serve as an inspiration for what composes our own prayer lives in our communion with God: our lives, the lives of fellow disciples, and the lives of disci...

Sometimes it seems like they come out of nowhere -- those feelings and emotions that surface in life-altering and damaging ways. And even if we're not entirely sure how they got there, they all come from the same place: our heart. That's why Scripture tells us to guard our heart. Everything we say and do flows from what's affecting us within. In our sermon series Enemies of the Heart, we'll look a...
