This HAS to be one of our favorite commands in Scripture! Take a day off? Yes, please! In an ever-increasingly hectic society, Sabbath is needed now possibly more than ever. Join us as we learn how taking a day off can help us more effectively pursue Jesus.

Jesus talks about money in about 15% of his teachings (that’s more than he talked about heaven/hell). This sermon takes an honest look at what it looks like to follow Jesus with our finances.

We all know we SHOULD read the Bible, but only 1 in 4 Christians do (on a regular basis). Could it be that we struggle with it because we simply don’t know how to read the Bible? Join us as we learn what this looks like!

Prayer. Is there anything that is easier to explain and harder to practice?! In this sermon, we explore the practical guidance on prayer given in the Lord’s Prayer.

So many of our prayers are no different than someone ‘wishing on a star.’ This study of Paul’s prayers will help us learn to pray ‘spiritual’ prayers.

What does the Bible REALLY say about fasting? Are we supposed to fast? What is it supposed to look like? The answers might surprise you...

When you think of “following Jesus,” what comes to mind? What does it really look like to “follow” Him? It starts with resolving to “be with Him.”

Does God really even care about ME?! There is so much going on in the world, does He have time to be concerned with MY life? These questions are answered in Jesus’ declaration, “I am the Good Shepherd.”

In this study, Mark leads us through what it looks like to question, to trust, and to change.

Out of all the items that Jesus could have used to illustrate His Person and power...why did He choose a ‘door?!’

We often hear about how God is working behind the scenes in our lives. Through the story of the blind man, we get some insight into how we can become more aware of God’s pursuit of us.

There are certain things in life that we “just know,” well...we “think” we know. I’m looking at you that sings the wrong lyrics to that song!! :) This passage helps us to have clarity about the most consequential thing in our lives...our relationship with God and how we interact with Him.

Jesus calls us out of darkness and into the light of life because he is the light of the world. This happens when we are changed by understanding and accepting the truth of who Jesus is and what he came to do.

Shame, guilt, condemnation...these are words that describe the inner turmoil of many people. In this story, we see a beautiful, yet gut wrenching, picture of what it looks like to experience grace and love in the midst of our darkest moments.

One of the things we ALL face is conflict. Since it is an inevitable part of life, we need to know how to face it. In this passage, the Pharisees give us the perfect example of how NOT to face conflict!

Is there something that you long to have? Something that you know will bring joy, contentment, or peace? This passage gives us the formula to “get what we want most.”

Which of these two words most describes your faith: doubt or confidence? In this text, we see the source of both “true” confidence and “false” confidence.

“Don't judge me!” We’ve all heard it...but what does the Bible REALLY say about judging others. This message is the second in a two part series that helps us understand what Jesus REALLY said about judging others.

All of us are a little ‘messed up.’ You might even call us ‘misfits.’ In one of the most mundane passages of Scripture (the genealogy of Jesus), we see the story of four ‘misfits.’ People that we think should not have been included in the lineage of Jesus. BUT...they ARE there and it is for a PURPOSE...just like US!
