On Easter, we don't celebrate a collection of teachings. We don't celebrate an idea. We celebrate an event . . . an event in history that changed history.
April 10, 2022
Wrinkle-free days usually don’t create great faith, because we don’t know what we actually believe until what we claim to believe is tested. Those unexpected things life throws our way can end up being pivotal circumstances in our faith journeys.
April 3, 2022
There is no progress without discipline. And many times, what begins as an "ought to" becomes a "want to."
March 27, 2022
Sometimes it seems God drops someone into our lives at just the right time. The defining moments and seasons of our lives usually revolve around those providential relationships.
March 20, 2022
Nothing causes us to depend on God more than pushing through our inadequacies to help other people. When we serve in a ministry we take personally, we experience God's power and faithfulness.
March 13, 2022
It’s one thing to believe and enjoy practical teaching. But gaining knowledge is not enough to grow our faith —applying it is.
March 6, 2022
We've all heard stories of people - or we know people - who have what appears to be unshakable faith. They have a confidence in God that informs what they do. Where does faith like that come from?
February 27, 2022
In seasons of change, it's good to remind ourselves who God is and who we are.
February 20, 2022
There's a question you can ask yourself that will bring inescapable clarity to just about every relational decision you'll bump up against. But a word of warning: it's not for the faint of heart.
February 13, 2022
It's human nature to snuggle up to the edge of irresponsibility or disaster and stay there as long as possible. But instead of wondering how close we can get before crossing the line, we need to ask ourselves perhaps the most important question we can ever ask.
February 6, 2022
Sometimes an option we're considering creates tension inside of us. When that happens, it can be tempting to ignore the discomfort or brush by it. But instead of doing that, we need to pay close attention to it.
January 30, 2022
Your life is more than random, disconnected events. It's a story being written. Whether it's a thoughtful response or an emotionally fueled reaction, we write the stories of our lives one decision at a time.
January 23, 2022
The easiest person to deceive is the person in the mirror. But when we do the hard work of being honest with ourselves, we're on our way to not selling ourselves on a potential regret.
January 16, 2022
We never know what or who hangs in the balance of the decisions we make. But we do know that our decisions determine the direction and quality of our life.

If the Christmas story is a myth, our hope may be in vain. But if Luke, the author who documented the birth of Jesus, is telling us the truth...then we have something to celebrate.
December 5, 2021
Do you remember as a child what it was like enduring those days before Christmas? It was the anticipation that made Christmas, Christmas. That same dynamic is what made the first Christmas so extraordinary. For generations, men and women had been waiting anxiously for the birth of their Messiah, with no assurance that they would live to see him. And like us, they probably wondered, Is this really going to happen? After all, God has been silent for years. Has he forgotten about us? Do you have those same doubts? Do you feel like God even knows you exist? Do you wonder if it’s worth it to follow Christ?

Being grateful for someone is an emotion we can all relate to. But gratitude is not just an attitude, it's something that needs to be expressed.
November 21, 2021
Many times we give money in response to a felt need or a tragedy - it's emotional and the results are measurable. What would it look like to become someone who was not only an intervention giver, but a prevention giver as well?
November 14, 2021
No one aims to live an average life. When we were younger, we all aspired to live extraordinary lives. But somewhere along the way, we settled. Jesus calls us to action because only by acting can we become anything but average.
November 7, 2021
One of the things that can keep us from living beyond average is the tension between now and later. We’re tempted to live for the moment, to satisfy our desires instantly. But when we pursue instant gratification, the problems in our lives increase. To be anything but average, you have to learn to stop living for now and begin living for later.
October 31, 2021
No one wants to be average. You may not want to be extraordinary, but you probably want to stand apart from the crowd. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke about three behaviors that have the power to make you anything but average.
Oct 3, 2021
As children, many of us were taught to say our prayers. As we get older, we wonder, why should I pray? How should I pray? Does praying even work? Those questions deserve grown-up answers.
September 19, 2021
Have you ever wanted to make a difference . . . like, a big one? Well, here's your chance! And we've made it as simple as we know how.
September 12, 2021
We all want more. Even though we’re thankful for what we have, something inside us wants a little more from life. But we don't have to go on a Wild Goose Chase to find it. Believe it or not, there is a path that can lead us to the more we are looking for.
August 22, 2021
Technology and the use of it, while helpful, can definitely be a hot topic! People have a lot of thoughts when it comes to the use of technology. Together we are going to begin to assess our relationship with our phones and how it affects us and those around us.
August 15, 2021
We all hate to lose. But winning something significant always involves losing something less significant. If you choose to lose, it opens the door to remarkable things in following Jesus.
August 8, 2021
We love to win. But in the Gospels, Jesus introduced a counterintuitive principle: In order to win, you have to lose. Following Jesus can feel like losing. But he said that we only find life when we choose to lose and follow him.
August 1, 2021
We all believe exercise is good for us, but we don't always head to the gym or go on a run. To actually get in shape, we have to exercise. We have to get off the couch and do it. And isn't it easier when we have someone to keep us accountable? The same is true of our faith—we can only get so far on our own.
July 25, 2021
Originally, "baptism" was not a religious concept. Yet over time, baptism has become an exclusively religious idea. If you are a follower of Christ and baptism is still on your "to-do" list, this message may be the nudge you need to finally go public.
May 23, 2021
Our heavenly Father's rules aren't designed to put us in good standing with God. They're a reminder that we're rule-breakers and we need someone we don't deserve: a Savior. Find out more during the message, “Something For Everyone!"
