Have you found yourself wandering and in need? This week as we begin our new series of “Parables”, we hear the lesson of the prodigal son and how our Heavenly Father welcomes us home with open arms no matter how far we may have wandered off.

A reflection on Psalm 63. We are invited to remember who God is, lean into His love, and trust Him in times of difficulty.

Have you ever ended up at the end of a path that you didn't intend? What has been the source of your greatest regrets? This week we talk about the fact that it is likely something inside you. The good news is, Jesus is a master at fixing it.

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming. There are bills to pay, relationships, goals, classes, careers. It can feel like there is no rest. There is.

God loves us just where we are but He doesn’t want us to stay there. This week we talk about the scam of just being ourselves.

What do you do when things get hard? Do you fight? Do you run? To what or whom do you run? All of us struggle with difficulties in life and we feel the need to escape. As we see this week, there is another option.

Whether right or wrong, everyone has an opinion about you. You even have an opinion about yourself. These opinions can wreak havoc on our lives if we let them. There is only one opinion that matters. Pastor Michelle helps us this week.

You are not, never have been, and never will be in control. This week, Pastor John talks about how we are designed by God to be stewards and not controllers.

What does it mean to be in “The Pursuit of Happiness”? This week Pastor John talks about what it looks like when we are working so hard in the pursuit that we end up with a “margin call”.

Just be yourself. Follow your heart. You are your destiny.  These phrases sound pretty good and might be inspiring at times. But are they correct? In this series, we will be examining the things we accept without really analyzing whether or not they could be helpful or hurtful. While maybe some of them may be partially true, we'll be looking at exposing the lies we are told and the lies we tell ourselves.

What does an unhurried life actually produce? This week we look at Colossians chapter 3 for a list of things that we can put on and take off in our lives to make sure we are modeling the rhythms of work and rest in Jesus.

What does it mean to be spiritually mature? This week, our friend Brandon Cook takes a deep dive into this topic out of our current series An Unhurried Life, based on the book written by Alan Fadling.

Sabbath is a gift from God that brings freedom and delight. Join Pastor Michelle as she explores the differences between Pharaoh and Yahweh and the abundant life sabbath keeping can bring in a world addicted to productivity. We worship a God who rests and he invites us to do the same.

What is prayer? Does it require fancy language or a lot of time? Are there prayers that God doesn’t like? Is there a perfect way to pray? This week we talk about the idea that it might not be the “how” so much as the “when”.

What do you do when you are tempted to make decisions that don’t match up with what Jesus would do? This week we talk about why it’s important to follow His lead and how to do that.

What is the end game with our anxiety? It’s most likely contentment. What if there was a way to experience contentment regardless of your circumstances? There is. It’s simple but difficult. Like most things that matter.

Expectations reduce gratitude. If you expect something, you don’t appreciate it when it happens. This week we talk about how to make sure we don’t let expectations ruin our relationships.

The more access to information we have, the more things we learn to be scared of. But Jesus was never scared. This week we talk about how to remove fear from our lives and what to replace it with?.

Everyone has the same opportunity to finish the race, but what if we strapped weights on some of the runners and didn’t on other runners? Even though the rules are the same, the outcome is different. This week we talk about what we can do to make the race more fair.

Jesus was busy but never seemed hurried. In our culture it seems the opposite. This week we talk about some observations about Jesus’ life and how we can adopt an unhurried life.
