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...

We spend about 90,000 hours of our lives working. Couple this with the overwhelming percentage of people reporting dissatisfaction with their job, and work seems more like a necessary evil than a way for us to experience God's goodness. It can be difficult to see how God intends faith and work to intersect. So it's in our sermon series Good Work that we'll explore how God's original intent was for...

Where we find the name "Jesus" and the word "compassion" together in the Bible, we also find significant action toward helping others. The compassion Jesus had for the people surrounding him moved him to alleviate some of their physical concerns as part of sharing the Gospel. And the compassion Jesus has for us is meant to inspire us to show compassion to those around us.

The stories we tell often are often reflections of life's deeper themes -- and ultimately of how we interact with God's truth. In our sermon series called At the Movies 2019, we'll discuss this summer's big movies (Spider-Man, The Lion King, Godzilla, and Avengers: Endgame) and how their stories speak to what impacts and challenges our everyday lives. It's a blockbuster topic that you won't want t...

The apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome was written to Christians with conflicting backgrounds -- both Jewish and Gentile -- including Romans and non-Romans. In it, he explained how the Gospel works and why it changes how we live. And in doing so, he sought to unify the congregation and their differing ideals about what it should look like to live out the Christian life. Our faith isn't si...
