Honor is the backbone of a relationship. Without honor, the relationship is only lip-service. Let's learn about how to honor God and make the best relationship we can have with Him, and bless our hearts.

Some of the people Jesus spoke the most harshly to in the Bible were religious people. Those who inflated their own self-worth above others and ultimately above God. Learn what God has to say to each of us who think higher of ourselves than we should.

God commands us NOT to just live for ourselves. A person who has no desire to please anyone is a sociopath and that’s not a good thing. Even though our desire to please people can be good, left unchecked, it can become unhealthy - especially if we are putting people before God. Learn how to avoid the trap of becoming a people pleaser.

We all know people that - no matter how hard we try - we just can’t seem to make happy. They are just difficult, right? Learn this week how to set healthy boundaries for the difficult people in your life. They aren’t going anywhere.

Conflict is inevitable and it is vital that we know how to deal with it in a healthy and productive way. Learn what the ancient wisdom of the Bible says about how to work through conflict and build stronger relationships.

Uncontrolled anger is an epidemic in our culture. From crazy drivers to angry waiters to mass shooters, people are struggling to manage their anger. Learn the signs and how to deal with the anger in you and in others.

Many of our relationships could be better if we exercised wisdom instead of frustration. Join us as we learn six ways to walk in wisdom as we build relationships and relate to others.

Wake up. Work. Go home. Sleep. Repeat. Sound familiar? In a lonely, busy world, constantly trying to pull us apart, community matters now more than ever. We all want it. We all have some idea of what we wish it looked like, but rarely can we grasp it. Maybe we weren’t meant to experience life as alone as we’ve been living it - perhaps even God Himself hates the phrase “God is all I need.” Together...

The word prayer conjures up lots of different images. How should we pray? Should we petition God on our behalf? Should we ask for forgiveness all the time? How does prayer work, and possibly more important to many of us, does prayer even work? Prayer works, but not like many of us have been led to believe. When we don’t understand prayer, it not only sets us up for disappointment, it holds us back...

The Bible isn’t just the most widely-distributed and best-selling book of all time; it’s on our minds the most as well. More than half of all American adults wish they read the Bible more often. Why? Bible-ownership is strong, but bible-readership is weak. The translations, the history, the language, the context, it’s hard, we get it. But, despite all of this, it’s more important than ever that we...

Most of us have had some experience with worshiping God through music - but worship is more than singing - more than just lyrics to a song. Worship is standing in the presence of God and declaring praises to His name by making Him the center of our life. Sometimes our idea of worship becomes distorted, and the object of our worship is no longer God. What is it that you worship? Is Jesus the center...

All of us have probably experienced some level of depression in our lifetime. Many factors can throw a person into depression; sadness, loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, family struggles, loss of a job, extreme burnout, etc. It’s important to note that some people experience clinical depression and may need professional help. However, whatever season of depression we might be experienci...

Life is full of stress. We, perhaps, live in one of the most stressful times in history. There is a lot of mixed information in our world, and we seem to running and living faster than ever before. The holidays can be an incredibly stressful time for many people. What can we do to help alleviate our stress and live in the peace that God desires for us? As always, we need to turn to the Bible.

God wants us to live with a grateful attitude and heart. Scripture tells us to rejoice and give thanks no matter what the circumstances. Although being thankful can be difficult sometimes, especially when life might not be going the way we want or expect. But gratitude is a choice to remain positive, and the Bible gives us encouragement and guidance on how to achieve this emotion or live in this s...

There is much turmoil in the world today. It seems that things are getting worse all the time. It can be overwhelming and depressing, but believers know that God has a plan and holds our future. One day, maybe in our time and maybe not, the world as we know it will come to an end. Only God knows when. In the meantime, God has work for us to do. We need to stand strong in our faith, be that light i...

It seems that society and culture are mocking believers more and more because of their faith. The enemy continues to find ways to tempt us and try to pull us away from God. As believers, we must stand strong against those attempts. Life can be difficult because there is so much sin in the world. Daniel thrown into the lion’s den is a strong example for us. Daniel settled his heart on God first and...

There is a growing culture in America that is rebelling against God, and putting themselves, power, and wealth above everything and everyone. We see this same scenario in the Book of Daniel long after Nebuchadnezzar has died and his grandson has become king. He has forgotten what he had known about his grandfather and his experiences with God. There is a move within the younger culture that is for...

Today’s culture pushes a desire for money, fancy cars, a big house, clothes, things, possessions, fame, the list goes on and on. We want nice things, and God wants to bless us, but we must be careful not to let the desire for those things become our focus above everything else. When that happens, when fame and fortune are our primary goals, then they become our gods. The Bible tells us that there...

Most of us have dreams. Some are pretty crazy, some can be scary, and some are pretty good. Sometimes we have a dream and want to know if there is a particular meaning or message attached to it. People have written books to help explain dreams, and some people try to explain our dreams to us. Throughout the Bible, God has used His people to interpret dreams for His purpose and plan. Daniel was one...

We are living in an ever-shifting world, unlike any time we have ever known. The culture around us is changing leaving us to wonder, “What’s next, and what should we do”? As always, Christians need to look to the Bible for answers. The Book of Daniel will teach us how to thrive in uncertain times.

The local church is a critical part of you becoming who God made you to be in Christ. Your faith is deeply personal, but we see in Scripture that it is not private. You were made for relationship, and it’s vital that you take your place in the family of God expressed in your local church. Church is more than a building or an activity; it’s a community where God forms and shapes you as you grow alo...

In Matthew 3:36, just as Jesus was about to begin His ministry on Earth, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him to prepare Him for His work. It was the Holy Spirit who enabled Jesus to perform the many miracles of the Bible, and it was the Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. Before He ascended into Heaven, after the resurrection, Jesus instructed His followers to wait for the promise of the Ho...

The good news is that people who were once separated from God by sin are now forgiven and reconciled to God through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Those who accept salvation by confessing Jesus as their Lord attain eternal life and the best life now through the finished work of the cross and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel is truly good news.

Church needs to be a place where people can know God, grow in Christ, develop rich relationships with others, and encourage one another. Those types of relationships don’t just happen by accident… you have to be intentional. Join us this week as we close out our series with Paul’s instructions on building healthy spiritual relationships

Paul’s speaking to the Thessalonians about the Day of Christ – also known in Scripture as the Day of the Lord. Just as a day has daytime and nighttime – the day of the Lord has a season of light and a season of darkness. Join us this week as we continue to unpack Paul’s answers to the church’s questions about the return of Christ.
