Peace On Earth | 2 - Shalom Makers

Everyone is chasing peace. But what if we’re called to create peace for others? What does a life of a shalom-maker look like?

Peace On Earth | 1 - Serenity Now!

(Watch Online) Everyone is chasing those "perfect" moments where everything is all as it should be. The people of God called those moments "Shalom." We all long for it, but it can't be forced, manufactured, or controlled. It must be received from the Prince of Peace who rules the Kingdom of Shalom.

Strange God | 6 - Strange Redemption

(Watch Online) We talk a lot about forgiveness but what those who are hurt by the guilty? Does mercy mean that people aren't responsible for their actions? What is the good news for those who have been hurt by the guilt? (Exodus 34:6, 7)

Strange God | 5 - Strange Forgiveness

(Watch Online) Sin is an outdated notion. In our effort to rush to "enlightenment" we still suffer the effects of sin but we've cut ourselves from the only solution, forgiveness.

Strange God | 4 - Strange Love

(Watch Online) Challenging circumstances have a way of revealing our true, internal character. Believe it or not, this is also true for God as well. What do we learn about God when He deals with difficult, unfaithful people? Spoiler alert: God is at His best even when we are at our worst.

Strange God | 3 - Strange Anger

(Watch Online) Anger makes us uncomfortable. God being angry makes us really uneasy. Many who have left the faith point toward their struggle with the wrath of God. What do we do with a God who says He gets angry?

Strange God | 2 - Strange Compassion & Grace

(Watch Online) You can't exaggerate the grace and compassion of God. We serve a God who is moved by the pain, hurt, and sin in our lives and will enter into the mess to bring grace.

Strange God | 1 - God is Stranger

If the most important thing we do is to love God then it's crucial that we have an understanding of who God really is. To do that it's crucial that we work through some of our assumptions and misconceptions about God.

The Happiness of Pursuit | Who is This God?

As we pursue God, we have to ask, "Who is this God?" The story of Exodus challenges us to embrace the mystery and awe of God.

The Happiness of Pursuit | The Second Decision

We all like to think we'd respond faithfully if our faith were tested, but we don't really know until the moment. Discipleship is the pursuit of Christ. What happens when we receive significant pushback in that pursuit? 

The Happiness of Pursuit | Divine Appointments

Paul told a group of philosophers that the God of Gods had arranged individual human lives for the express purpose of seeking God. If that's true, then that means your life right now could lead you to God. How is God using your circumstances to draw you toward Himself?

The Happiness of Pursuit | Divided Heart

A half-hearted faith is like warning lights on the dashboard. It means something is wrong. Our hearts, if unchecked will pull in different directions. This will always result in human disintegration and dissatisfaction. How do we pull the separate parts of our hearts back together?

The Happiness of Pursuit | Holy Curiosity

Before loving God, before faith in God, there’s another, even more, basic element of our connection to Him. What could be more fundamental than love and faith? Explore the surprising answer with us!

Rule Your Life | Part Six - Fellowship

One's faith decision is personal. And yet, we cannot thrive as a Christian without fellowship. In Acts 2, Luke lists four marks of discipleship - only 4, and fellowship was #2. If we are not spending time together on days not called Sunday, then we are missing out.

Rule Your Life | Screens

Over the last 25 years, technology has become integrated into practically every part of our lives. We have a relationship with tech but we haven't stopped to think about if it's the kind of relationship we want. How can we use technology to better our lives and glorify God?

Rule of Life | Part Four - Strange Virtue

(Watch Online) Ask someone how they're doing and they're likely to include in the answer, "busy". Our culture view busyness as a virtue. But God creates well-being in humans by commanding something different.

Rule of Life | Part Three - 10 Words

(Watch Online) Could God's instructions that were meant to guide and bless Israel provide a "rule of life" today for disciples of Jesus?

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

Rule of Life | Part Two - Scam Likely

(Watch Online) Of all the potential changes we could make to improve our lives, what is the ONE that will make the most difference? 

Rule of Life | Part One - The Trellis

(Watch Online) All of us have areas of our lives we'd like to improve; often, we've been wanting to be better for years. The problem with change isn't lack of desire; it's something else. What do we need to align our habits and our hearts?
