How do you know your faith is being tested? What about those moments when you start to question God's goodness? The trial of brokenness in marriage produces a testing of our faith. In marriage, we do…
God calls every man to be a spiritual father. Like Abraham, we’re called to be faithful followers, loving leaders, and humble warriors. That means walking in obedience, laying our lives down for othe…
Control is our defense mechanism. It’s a natural response when life feels out of control. Who or what are you trying to control? What if, instead of returning to your natural response you turned to s…
We all face failure, but what if our failures could be the starting point of something redemptive? In this message, we explore how to respond when failure threatens to derail our lives. Whether it’s …
We all have experienced loneliness in our lives. We long to be known, accepted, and truly connected. But loneliness isn’t the absence of people, it’s the absence of connection. We often separate our …
Darkness and suffering can trap us in a draining loop of “what if,” but hope and the radical acceptance of “what is” offers the way out. Hope is not a fixed point we will reach, but a living force th…

We all long to be unrushed and present in the moment. The Sabbath is God’s gift to rest and refocus our hearts on Him. It’s not about rules or striving for perfection but resting in His perfection. J…
