Belief, Faith, Spiritual Growth
Beginning Again
April 17, 2022
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.
Belief, Faith, Spiritual Growth
When Life Happens
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.
Pre-Decide
April 3, 2022
There is no progress without discipline. And many times, what begins as an "ought to" becomes a "want to."
That Person
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.
It's Personal
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.
Practically Speaking
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.
Unshakable
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?
Spiritual Growth, Purpose, Change
Deciding Our Way Forward
February 27, 2022
In seasons of change, it's good to remind ourselves who God is and who we are.
Leadership, Relationships, Direction
The Relationship Question
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.
The Maturity Question
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.
The Conscience Question
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.
The Legacy Question
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.
The Integrity Question
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.
Deciding Our Way Forward
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.
Celebration, Growth
15 Year Anniversary
Christmas, Zechariah, Luke
Luke's Story
December 19, 2021
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.
Zechariah's Story
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?
Character, Relationships, Influence
Give Thanks
November 28, 2021
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.
Generosity, Growth, Finances
An Ounce of Prevention
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?
Influence
Do What You Know
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.
Now and Later
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.
Exceeding Average
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.
Growth, Prayer, Trust
Not Like That
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.
Faith, Spiritual Growth, Holy Spirit
Give
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.

Wild Goose Chase
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.
Screen Time
The Whole World in Your Pocket
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.
Trust
Connecting the Dots
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.
The Moment of Choice
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.
Relationships, Spiritual Growth, Purpose
Gently Used
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.
Baptism
Going Public
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.

Something For Everyone
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!"
