At some point we all find ourselves worried about the direction our life is headed. Are we making the right decisions? Am I headed on the right path? If we aren’t careful, anxiety can take over and leave us feeling miserable. Thankfully, God offers us a promise from the book of Proverbs that allows us to walk with confidence even in life’s most confusing seasons!

Who would ever turn down God’s blessing in their life? Believe it or not, Moses did in Exodus 33! Why? Because he knew that God’s presence is even greater than His blessing. If God offered you everything you’ve ever wanted, but you knew it would cost His presence, would you take it?

When things don’t go the way we expect, we have a tendency to try to “help” the situation along. Unfortunately this often backfires spectacularly. In week 3 of our series Presence we see just how silly it is to trust in God AND something else.

One reason we often fail to experience God’s presence is that we think we know what God is like, so when He shows up we don’t recognize Him. In week two of our series, “Presence,” we learn to accept God as He is, not as we think He should be.

I believe God exists, so why don’t I sense Him strongly every day? If God really wants us to know Him, why does He seem so… hidden? In our new series “Presence”, you will learn how to live with a greater awareness of God each and every moment.

Toxic people are everywhere, but not everybody having a bad day is truly toxic. So how do we know who is really poisonous and how do we deal with them in a way that honors Christ? We’ll answer those questions and more in this week’s episode of “Don’t Drink the Poison.”

Relationships are often full of conflict. How do I know when the problem is their fault or mine? How can I respond to hurt in healthier ways? The answer is found in one simple principle, illustrated throughout the New Testament. What is it? Join us for week 2 of “Don’t Drink the Poison” to find out!

We live in a world that is easily offended. But as Christians, we shouldn't be easily offendable. As we kick off a new series called "Don't Drink the Poison," we will learn how to keep ourselves from being triggered by every little thing, and how to handle life's big hurts in healthy ways.
