Forgiveness is one of the most attractive things about the gospel and maybe the most difficult thing to imitate from the life of Jesus. We all want to have it, but who really wants to give it? What if we could begin to see that it was as much our own mistakes as it was anyone else’s that put Jesus on the cross—and God chose to forgive us all without exception or limitation? Would that change the way we could give away forgiveness freely?

When you think of Jesus and the love He has, what word come to mind? Overwhelming? Absurd? Beyond comprehension? The love of Jesus is beyond all reason. It is greater than we can fathom, wider and deeper than any ocean, and expressed through a life of service and sacrifice.

Did you know worship is more than the songs you sing at church or in the car? While those are a form of worship, it is designed to be so much greater! Worship goes beyond singing at the top of your lungs and ventures into finding opportunities to spend time with God. As we close out our sermon series, Habits, tune in as we unpack the lifestyle of worship God has set before us.

“Slow down!” You probably hated hearing that as a kid but, what about as an adult? Don’t you wish you could take a time-out from life or at least a quick power nap to recover? Well, good news because that’s exactly what God wants us to do! In week five of Habits we unpack the rhythm God has called us to live in.

Arguably the main area people look to grow spiritually is through reading the Word of God. It’s kind of a big book with weird names and confusing statements, isn’t it? We’re with you! However, we believe that God reveals Himself to us through His Word, even if we don’t have a Bible degree. This week of Habits we seek to understand the place of reading God’s Word to help us grow closer to Him.

Have you ever been praying and then a few minutes into your prayers they shifted from praying to God to more like “thinking at God”? We’ve all been there. So, why is it that something so simple can seem so complicated at times? In week 3 of Habits, we look at the call to pray and fast as well as the various ways it helps us grow in our faith.

Reach out and touch your nose. (Go ahead and do it, we’ll wait.) In order to do what you just did you used your arm, hand, finger, nose, eyes, and brain. Without any of those parts of the body, you couldn’t accomplish such an easy feat! The same goes with the body of Christ—the church. There are many different parts that help it accomplish the sole mission of spreading the Gospel. In week two of Habits, we look at identifying the gifts God has given you and the part you play in the body of Christ.

The word “discipline” is not a fun word - especially when we talk about the spiritual disciplines of following Jesus. Most disciples know they should be growing in their faith, but often the first question posed is: where do I start? Whether that question is based out of why or how, the hardest part often comes from just getting started. Join us for week one of Habits as we unpack why and how we grow in our faith.

Everyone thinks their child is the “best.” But what if your child actually was? Do you ever wonder if raising Jesus, the Son of God, was an easy task? No matter what, there is only one Savior worthy to be worshipped—regardless of who raised Him. Yet, the life of Mary provides a stark reminder of the importance of faithfulness.

Not many women were mentioned for their gifts throughout Scripture. However, as the early church began to expand, one couple rose to the top—and the wife was leading the way. This week we will look at the way Priscilla (and her husband) utilized her gifts for the growth of the church.

Some people walk through life with big goals and dreams while others wonder if their life even makes a difference in the world. For those who become a catalyst of life-change, there’s always a commitment behind the scenes preparing them for the difference they will make. Join us as we look at the life of the prophetess Huldah, who in a moment of devotion created a movement of faith.

"This is a man's world!" Or is it? What do you do if all of your peers are not like you? Deborah found herself outnumbered in her “profession,” yet her wisdom and character propelled her to the top. A commitment to the truth of God is the foundation of true leadership. Join us for week one of our Fierce series looking at the example of Deborah.

They say practice makes perfect. Others say perfect practice makes perfect. Either way, there is always work to be done. If the battle of the mind is never over, then we should always be training our mind for victory. Join us for week 4 of Mastermind as we see how to transform our minds with the truths of God for victory in the battle within.

Half-empty, half-full; it’s all how you look at it, right? You can probably recall an experience in your life that seemed negative at the time that didn’t turn out so bad. While you cannot control everything that happens to you in life, you can control how you frame it.

Stress, anxiety, and depression are all around us. We all battle with some of these thoughts and emotions from time to time. The world may tell us to eliminate toxic thoughts but we must fill our minds with something greater. Join us for week 2 of Mastermind to see how to have a healthy mind.

We’ve all had that thought we just couldn’t shake. Whether it was excitement or disappointment, our thoughts have power. So, what do we do with the thoughts that seem to trap us in life? The mind is a battlefield waging war within us at all times. Join us for week 1 of this series to discover the divine power to take into the battle within.

Raise your hand if you have ever messed up. Yeah, us too! The amazing thing about our relationship with Jesus is that He sees us at our best and our worst - He knows it all! Even though our worst is far from Jesus’ plan for our lives, He immediately extends us grace and the chance to be used for His glory! Join us as we wrap up our study through the Gospel of Mark as we see how Jesus’ plans for us are so much bigger than our worst moments.

Could you imagine watching someone be miraculously healed? What about seeing Jesus cast out demons? What a sight that would be! The part that may be even more crazy is how Jesus immediately points out how important one’s faith is to their healing. Join us for week 5 of our study through the Gospel of Mark looking at how faith is the foundation for healing in our life.

Martin Luther King Jr. defined faith as, “taking the next step even when you don’t see the rest of the staircase.” So, how risky is your faith? Can we even claim to have faith if it’s not leading us beyond some of our fears? Jesus is seen calling people from their fear immediately to a place of great action. Join us for week 4 of our study through the Gospel of Mark as we unpack how Jesus calls us to have faith over fear.

Most people agree that one of the greatest examples of Jesus is how he did not keep people at a distance. In fact, those in the ancient society who were often stiff-armed were the exact people Jesus immediately went to. The passion for redemption led Jesus to break barriers to welcome all into the family of God. Join us for week 3 of our study through the Gospel of Mark and see how Jesus is a barrier breaker.
