Hear It

Do It

The Wave Cycle

Love and hate get described as opposites. But what if fear actually stops love more often than hate? How can we overcome fear to make a move?

Be Not Afraid

I want to have an ordinary love story. I don’t want to exceed expectation. Average is the goal. When I die, I don’t want to have made any difference at all. Do those statements sound right to you? Are those goals for your life, what you are wanting to achieve? It’s ridiculous to even ask the question, isn’t it? Wishing is different than achieving; you can see the differences by the actions. So which are you choosing, ordinary or audacious?

Audacious Love

What could you do if you were free? Truly free from fears that hold you back? What will people think? What if I look dumb? Being terrified of failure holds you back and actually leads you into the ultimate way of failing. Jesus shows us how transformative the power of love can be, especially as it sets us free!

Free To Fail

Have you ever had to clean up a mess and people give advice how to clean it up better? How did you feel about that? To be honest it makes me mad because if you want to help, then jump in and make yourself useful! Which way do you think of God, advisor or helper? This week why not invite some people to join you as we discover how love doesn’t “help” from a distance, but works up close in our messes and successes.

I'm With You

I used to play a game in our pool. I would float with my eyes shut and guess my location in the pool. I had a perfect record for guessing—every time was completely wrong! Drifting changes your position way more than you realize. It is way too easy to drift life. Are you at this time? “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love,” is the words of this hymn, and the story behind it. Don’t let it be your story as well.

Come Thou Fount

Fear. Anxiety. Those are feelings people have when thinking about facing Jesus or going to church. Maybe it’s because of how they have been treated by Christians. But somewhere along the line, we’ve lost the truth of a label Jesus received in Matthew 11:19, “friend of sinners.” Why don’t we reclaim this truth, that Jesus welcomes me just as I am.

Just As I Am

When thinking on characteristics of relationships, faithfulness is often overlooked. That is, until it disappears... But God is faithful! Always. His faithfulness is unending (even though undeserved)! God leads us from a heart of love, wanting us to trust Him and thrive.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

“Your way, right away” has been a slogan for a fast food joint for a long time. It’s also been our preferred approach to life. God has a different plan He’s working on. Justin McCauslin is going to share some of his life’s story with you, and how he has learned to trust God’s timing.

My Time or God's Time?

Talking to God?

After graduating college, my first job was about 10 hours away from home. My family helped me move, and then they left. It was that time when what was true became real to me, I was an adult on my own. Life is a string of moments like that. Another moment when our faith becomes real in everyday life is when we trust God with our finances. Processing towards maturity in our relationshp with God means trusting and obeying Him in every facet of our lives, including money (and the securites and fears we associate with it). Join us this Sunday as we move onward to another part of being in process...

It Just Got Real

In the movie Monsters University, there is a race that Mike and Sully try to win, even sabotaging each other along the way. The problem is, they don’t realize it’s a team race and they are on the same team. Both end up losing because they didn’t help their teammates cross the finish line. God has gifted you because He loves you, but He created your gifts to work together with other people’s gifts. God gifts US, because He loves US together. He gifts US so we can win the race together, as a team. Are you ready to take your place on the team?

WE Are Gifted & Loved

It seems easy to see the gifts and abilities in others. Often easier than seeing our own. Which can lead us to get jealous or daydream about how wonderful life would be in their shoes. If only I had [insert desire here] like so-and-so, then I would be happy. But that’s just not true. It’s a lie that will cause you to overlook your own special blend of gift and talent gems. The truth is, sometimes, they just have to be unearthed…
