God designed us to do life in a certain way, but He gives the decision whether or not to do so to us. When we choose our desires and abandon God and His design, we miss out on the fullness of life God has for us.

God gave us His creation so we could know Him. Yet, instead of worshiping the Creator, Paul writes in Romans that people worshiped “idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.” How do we do this today? And how can we stop?

In Romans 1, we read God is angry because, despite making Himself obvious, people choose selfishness over what is self-evident, godlessness instead of experiencing God’s fullness. How would trading in our lies for God’s truth change our lives?

We need to be rescued from our sin, but we are too sinful to rescue ourselves. What’s the solution? The Gospel. The good news is for everyone—everyone who believes in Jesus can be saved. And so, everyone needs to hear it. We need to live unashamed.

We try to impress but sin in secret and are undeserving of love. What’s the solution? The Gospel. The good news is God loves us unconditionally and unreservedly. That’s why He sent Jesus. Instead of being ashamed, we can be confident and passionate.

Loneliness is an epidemic as so many people feel unincluded. What’s the solution? The Gospel. The good news means that “you are included” and “have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.” When we get invited, we’re no longer ashamed but excited.

One at a Time Weekend is a special weekend to celebrate what God has done through one life at a time over the last year and anticipate what He will do in 2024. Join us for a special time of worship, preaching, and prayer.

Christmas is a time to remember that our healing is found through Jesus. Like sheep, all of us are lost, but all is not lost. No matter how hopeless things seem, Jesus, our Good Shepherd, longs to bring us back into a life of purpose and wholeness.

Isaiah 11 describes Jesus as a shoot that bears fruit growing up from the stump of Jesse. Jesus has come to restore, to give purpose, and to cultivate our lives in such a way that we bear fruit, no matter how far gone things may sometimes seem.

When light enters the room, it changes the way we see everything. Jesus is our light, and His coming into the world has the ability to change the landscape and perspective of our lives forever. We have seen a great light, and His name is Jesus.

When we are obedient to God’s call to generosity, it’s not so much that we are giving TO the church, but THROUGH the church. This kind of giving allows it to be in the name of Jesus, displays God’s power, and points people to the hope we have in Him.

Gratitude and generosity go hand in hand—gratitude wells up in generosity, inviting the blessing of God, leading to gratitude. We invite you to give yourself fully to God and experience that commitment well up to shape your heart through generosity.

Money and possessions reveal our heart’s affection. How we handle money tells the story of what is most important to us. As we open this series, we want to start by going straight to the heart—what is the deepest desire of our heart?

The unseen war behind all wars features an already-defeated enemy. Although defeated, he is desperate and will do everything he can to distract the people of God from the true battle. When we know who our enemy is, we know what to keep our focus on.

Jesus was concerned His disciples could easily grow comfortable in their waiting for His return. His challenge to them—and us—was to be ready, to live in such a way as to still have an urgency in the waiting and be prepared for the coming of Christ.

In Revelation, John charges us to live a life of faithfulness to Jesus regardless of our trials and tribulations. We are assured that where there is judgement for the sins of the world, there is also mercy from the One who has overcome the world.

Even in the midst of many signs, we won’t know what day the Lord will come. Speaking to His disciples near the end of His ministry, Jesus placed the emphasis of the topic not so much on when the end times will come, but on how we live within them.

Near the end of His ministry, Jesus shared with His disciples that He would return someday. His challenge was to keep watch, not living focused on what’s fleeting, but instead living with the end in mind—Jesus will return as the King and Lord of all.

The Spirit helps us see sin for what it is, but we often live by our feelings instead. Seeing sin for what it is, we don’t begrudgingly curb our sinful desires but gladly strive for self-control like a sinking swimmer reaches for a life preserver.

Bitterness, rage, anger, and slander seem to be our first language, but if we tune out the loudest voices, we can hear the Spirit guiding us into a life of gentleness, where we don’t scream for attention but are slow to anger and quick to forgive.
