The way we live matters. Whatever we are rooted in will be what we reflect. Join us as we dive into Ephesians 5 and learn about what it means to live a life rooted in Christ.

On April 22, 1889, thousands surged forward in the Oklahoma Land Rush—each person racing to claim land for themselves that was up for grabs to the first one to stake their claim & raise their flag. Sometimes it was every man for himself, but there were also beautiful times of teamwork and building in community. In Ephesians 4 (NKJV), Paul calls us to a different kind of pursuit: not selfish st...

This week we dive into how God's plan is at last revealed to all and for all. 

Our identity comes from one of two places: our performance and attempts to achieve it by means of pride, competition, and comparison that breeds hostility.  Or it comes from putting our hope and trust in the finished work of Christ at the cross, receiving the free gift of salvation, and seeing others as fellow image bearers of God. 

We all make hundreds of choices a day, but what’s the most important one we can make? Join us this week as we look at how we can grow closer to Jesus in choosing Him!

A solid foundation is important when building anything, and it should be especially true when it comes to building our lives. This week we are wrapping up our series by taking a look at what it looks like when we live “Upside-Down.”

Death is almost always seen as a bad thing in our world. Yet, in the life a Christian, it is essential. This week find out how Jesus flipped death Upside-Down.

If you were gone tomorrow, would there be something missing from the world you left? We know, it's a dark thought, but Christians are tasked with bringing something unique to the world. This week we will explore what that looks like this week.

Power, we all love to have it! According to God's Kingdom, power looks frustratingly different than how the world views it. Find out what real power looks like this week and how we get it.

All this Kingdom talk but the question remains: “how do we enter the Kingdom?” This week we are looking at the frustratingly simple answer.

Most people find it easy to love those who love them. However, Jesus said we need to love our enemies too! Is that even realistic? Find out how we do it on this week's episode.

There is no question that we spend a lot of time and brainpower on how we look. The question is: should we? Does God value good appearances? Join us this week to find out!

Upside down Kingdom... turning the other cheek is not about being walked on, it's about walking like Jesus. What is a kingdom response when we are hurt, angry or wronged?

There is a lot of talk around Christianity about a Kingdom. This gives some serious Lord of the Rings vibes which can make it feel outdated and irrelevant. This series, we are going to look at the Kingdom of God, what it is, what it looks like and most importantly, how we get to be a part of it. Spoiler alert: it is going to challenge your way of thinking! Join us for this brand new series “Upside...

When God becomes our go to source for comfort when we are in the midst of trouble and pain, we find the grace to live an abundant life in Christ no matter the external circumstances.

We’re all looking for belonging, hope, and purpose. In John 1, Jesus invited a handful of people to “Come and See”—and through that simple invitation, the world was never the same. This episode, we’re exploring the power of invitation, the beauty of belonging, and the miracles that still happen when people meet Jesus. Bring a friend. You never know what one invitation could do.

This week we are taking a look at what the followers of Jesus did immediately following the resurrection. It may surprise you, but it is important that we do not miss it.

It is easy to think that because Jesus did something great for us, that we need to pay him back. Unfortunately, many of us try to pay him back by doing good things and being nice. This week, we are looking at Jesus’ work, and ultimately how we need to respond.

Has it ever seemed strange to you that the cross (a Roman execution device) is the symbol of Christians? You aren’t alone. This week we are exploring the beauty in the pain of Jesus’ death.

Peter’s walk with Jesus was a wild ride—stormy seas, voices of glory thundering from the heavens, breathtaking triumphs, and the cold grip of chains! Through it all, he faced the unknown, just as WE will. But here’s the truth we can’t miss: our hope must soar beyond our breakthroughs and breakdowns—it’s got to rest in something unshakable, something eternal – and that IS WHO JESUS IS!

This week we are looking at how our culture of hurry is hurting us and those around us and what we can do to change that.

Life  can be  busy ! From Soccer practice, work, class and everything in between there is  plenty  to keep us  occupied . In the  busyness  of life, are we making a point to stay  connected  to our  walk  with  God ? Or are we  distracted  with the “ busy ” of our  lives ? Join us this  Sunday  as we look at what it means to keep our  eyes   on   Jesus  in the middle of the“ busy ”.

The wisest man to ever live (King Solomon) said “Guard your heart above all else…” He saw it as a non-negotiable. We should as well! This week we are looking at what it looks like to set up Guardrails around your heart.

Think of all the things we do for money, much of our lives are driven by our desire to “have enough.” Jesus said some pretty radical things about money that challenge, well, everyone!
