What are you thankful for? When we take time and ask ourselves this question, we soon see just how many blessings we have in our lives. We can be thankful for so many things. During this season of Thanksgiving, we are going to be recognizing those things that we are most thankful for. When we spend time reflecting on all that for which we are thankful, it can shift our perspective and allow us to see things in a different light.

Jesus was a masterful storyteller. In fact, approximately one-third of the words of Jesus recorded in the Bible were stories. These stories are called parables; he used familiar illustrations to reveal deeper revelations. They shine a light on God's character, change our perspective, and give us practical direction.

We are bombarded with information about identity. Whether it is national identity, racial identity, or sexual identity, we search for ways to define ourselves. In a time when identity is such a hot topic, we will turn to Jesus and see what he has to say about our identity. What does it mean to be a Christian? What does Christ’s identity reveal to us?

Jesus teaches some very difficult things in his messages. We long for the sweet Jesus who saves us but balk at some of the difficult things he calls us to do. Join us as we take a deep look at some of the difficult teachings of Jesus and what they mean for us today.

When we think about the word “kingdom,” there are many things that can come to mind: knights and castles, nations and armies, even board games. The Kingdom is also a theme that runs through the entirety of the Bible. God’s Kingdom concerns His power, place, people, and purpose. Join us as we look through the Bible to better understand God’s Kingdom and what it means for each of us.

There are signs everywhere, telling us what to do and what not to do. What kind of signs are you looking for in your life? Is Jesus sending you a sign that you're missing, or maybe not even looking for?

The prodigal son is a story Jesus used to teach people about God’s amazing love for us. Jesus uses imagery to paint a picture of the radical nature of God’s love and the invitation to come home at any time. Join us as we dive into the story of the prodigal son.

Maybe you have wondered how you should pray: what you should say, how you should say it, when and how often — so many questions. Maybe you just don’t want to look dumb by praying something strange; maybe you don’t want to look dumb in front of God. Whatever the reason, we are going to take a deep dive into the Lord’s Prayer to see what it is that Jesus tells us about prayer, and hopefully open ourselves up to praying and to what prayer can do in and through us.

The bible is full of examples of women who have been faithful in living and loving in a way that makes a difference. What is it to be a motherly influence on the world around us? Is it something that could make a difference if it was something we practiced?

There’s a fire inside you. You have a God-given purpose waiting to be discovered. You have people around you ready to encourage you. And you may not know it yet, but you have everything you need to chase your passion. We just have one question: Are you in?

In many ways, hymns are the oral history of our faith. Like the Psalms in Scripture, they are passed from generation to generation, sung in cathedrals, chapels, or around a family piano. Every generation has its anthems, and while we continue to sing to Him new songs to this day, sometimes the timeless music of our predecessors is just what the soul needs. This series will delve into history to take some of those classic, overlooked, or left-behind hymns and explore their meaning, breathing new life into their melodies to illuminate the hope they have for us today.

Love is hard to define. It is more than an emotion but it is emotional. It is active and involved but filled with whimsy. Love moves and breathes; it takes on a life of its own. Love is not a bystander. Love is not a feeling. Love leads us to the most intimate places with the most wonderful people. Love transforms ‘what if’ into ‘let's go.’ Love overcomes. Love never gives up. Love Does.

Jesus brings with him light and life and that is what our world sorely needs. As 2021 begins, it is obvious that our world is hungry for the light of Christ. Join us as we look at how the light of Christ can illuminate our lives and how Christ can help us to reflect His light onto others.

If this year has taught us anything, it is that we should expect the unexpected. Things can get messy fast and Christmas is no exception. It should be reassuring to know that Christmas was never meant to be picture perfect. Christmas was always supposed to be messy. That is the point of Christmas. God came into our mess with us to help us and guide us through.

"If" is a powerful little word. Some people are stuck in "if only," trudging through lives marked with regret. But God wants us to live lives marked with possibilities, with the "what if" attitude that looks forward to the future with confidence. Why? Because the answer to "If God is for us, who can be against us?" is "No one." God is always on our side. Every day, in every way.

We tie ourselves in knots going through the motions to meet the world’s expectations, but you weren’t created for that? If Jesus were editing your life, what would Jesus undo?

When we are young we learn through experience and by asking questions. As we get older we stop asking so many questions. This series looks at a few questions...

Bumper stickers are everywhere and say almost anything. Some depict your family or hobby. Some are rude or obnoxious. Some can even be humorous. Over the next four weeks, we are going to take a deep dive into some bumper stickers and see how they relate to faith and to our lives. Join us as we learn about Bumper sticker faith.

What comes to mind when you hear the term spiritual warfare? Is it some crazy person in a tinfoil hat? Is it someone who is overly religious and afraid of their own shadow? Join us as we dive into what it means and how we can understand it in light of scripture.

In this current time, our world just feels disoriented. Which way is up? Which way should we go? What news will tomorrow bring? Join us as we seek to find an anchor in the midst of a disorienting world. Something to which we can hold fast in order to keep our faith and orientation toward Christ.
