02/16/25 - Mark | The Way of Death Leads to Life

It's such a counter-intuitive, upside-down, backward truth that people, though they think it sounds nice, have a next to impossible time actually living it. Yet, Jesus said it was THE way to life.

02/09/25 - Mark | I Can See Cleary Now

There's a huge phenomena in faith that we don't talk about. When we are trying to walk by faith and things get more murky, confusing and difficult. It's not just that we're tempted to give up, the circumstances make us wonder if we SHOULD give up. How do we learn to hang in there, even when things are confusing?

02/02/25 - Mark | In the Rebeginning

The Gospel of Jesus doesn't sound like good news to people who think they can handle life on their own. But it sounds like GREAT news to people who, through trial and error, have realized there really is only one way.

01/26/25 - Matthew / The Great Commission

As we end the book off Matthew we take a look at Jesus's great commission and how we cannot assume others know Him!

01/12/25 - Matthew / The Whole Gospel

Too often we present the Gospel just as forgiveness, which is true but it's not the entire truth. Like a rowboat with only one paddle, preaching half the Gospel sends us in circles, never really moving forward. What are we missing?

01/05/25 - Matthew / Jesus' Story Is Our Story

Most of us could recycle our New Year's Resolutions every year. There's something about change that is so hard it feels impossible. But there is a way to write a better story for our lives. As we explore the Gospel of Matthew, we'll catch a glimpse of a better story for our lives.

12/29/24 - Matthew / Hearing Jesus

Nobody was apathetic about Jesus. Some were compelled, some were repulsed but nobody ignored Him. What was the difference between the ones who were drawn to Jesus and the ones who were driven away?

12/22/24 - Fighting For Joy | Joy Upon Joy

Joy is a discipline, you have to light the fire before you feel the warmth. But once the flame of joy is lit it glows bright. The arrival of Jesus brings joy to the world!

12/15/24 - Fighting For Joy | Joy Hurts

Before joy is an experience, it's a discipline but joy MUST account for pain and sorrow. If our joy can only exist in the absence of suffering, it's not true joy.

12/08/24 - Fighting For Joy | Joy is Hard

We want joy to just happen but the Bible the Bible teaches us joy is something that won't just happen, it must be fought for.

12/01/24 -Fully Known By God

Being fully known is hard, choosing to invite God into our life is joyful.

11/24/24 - Exiles | Keep Going

Life is hard and even the strongest often need to be encouraged to keep going.

11/17/24 - Exiles | Where There's a Why There's a Will

Every big challenge in life requires a why. What is your big why?

11/10/24 - Mission Sunday | There Changes Here

We think we're blessing the nations when we give generously...and we are, BUT we too often fail to acknowledge the blessings we receive when we dig deep and give.

11/3/24 - Be Still and Know I Am God

Today we will look at the peace and rest we can find in the Lord!

10/27/24 - Exiles | It's Not About the Lions

At nearly 80 Daniel is still having to face life or death decisions to live his faith. To find the fortitude to carry on we can't look at the lions, we have to turn our eyes toward God.

10/20/24 - Exiles | Crash the Party

In Babylon it can feel like things won't actually change, that the bad guys will keep winning and the good guys will stay in exile. But the reality is there will be a reckoning.

10/13/24 - SUPERNANZA 2024

For SUPERNANZA 2024, we will look at Luke 15 and study the idea of celebration found in the Lord!

10/06/24 - Exiles / Heaven Rules

It's not healthy for humans or humanity to think we're the center of the universe. The lesson of humility is one of the hardest we'll ever learn.

09/29/24 - Exiles / Fire & Faith

How do we push forward when it feels like everything is pushing us backward?
