I know that this season of life has been incredibly difficult on all of us. We have all lost so many things and faced so much grief and for many of us, that quickly turns into anger. How do we handle…

If I'm being honest, when there's something about me that I don't want to change, I just say: "well, I am who I am." Did you know THAT is one of the greatest lies that we tell ourselves? Listen in to…

Could this year get any worse (I probably shouldn't say that)?? We are all weary from all that this year has brought. The question is: what do we do about this weariness and how can we recover our li…

God calls us to radical unity...but is it even possible in this broken, polarized world?

As we celebrate freedom as a country, there is a greater freedom that we each long for. Where do we find it? How do we get it and how will it impact our lives? 

Is perfect peace even possible? Especially in the world as we know it now? God used the prophet Isaiah to bring a message of peace that can STILL change our lives today. 

Do you always need to hold the remote? Does your opinion always have to be counted? Is giving up control a struggle for you? In light of our human nature to control our environment, what does it mean…

Everyday we face this tension between a constantly changing world and the fact that WE don't like change. What does it mean to have a God who never changes and is that a good thing for my life? Does …

"God is needed by all and needful of nothing." How/why is God's self-sufficiency good news to us and how do we handle our own neediness in the face of a God who needs nothing?

Join us for week one of our new series on the attributes of God that we don't spend a lot of time talking about. Today we're going to dive into the reality that while God can be known (and desires to…

YOU WERE NOT MADE FOR DEATH...not even if the crisis of a pandemic tells you otherwise! 

Desert experiences, difficult and painful as they may be, will not and do not last forever. We also know that desert experiences change us. BUT, we the choices we make now can impact whether they cha…

No one could have imagined the situation that we have found ourselves in this week. Now more than ever, we need to lean on God for our comfort--to choose comfort over chaos.

This topic was chosen months ago, but seems particularly fitting given what's happening in the world around us. How do we handle life and faith when we are doubting it all? 

Raise your hand if you're a control freak?! Same. Especially in our do-it-yourself culture, learning to give up control to God is a challenging thing for many of us. Is it even possible? Let's find o…

Many of you have experienced 'desert' seasons in your life. Time when God seemed silent, you struggled, you felt lost. As we begin this new series for Lent 2020, we're taking a look at some of the th…

We are a people prone to wander...away from God, away from our faith, away from God's best for us. On Ash Wednesday, as we begin Lent, God calls to our wandering hearts.

Is there a difference between a nap and rest? Between rest and Sabbath? Sabbath is a commandment, but is it really THAT big of a deal? 

We were created to live life in rhythms of work, rest and worship. 
Why do we work hard and for whom do we work?
