What do we do when the odds are stacked against us? How do we respond when it seems like there's no way out? As the world changes we must stay true to our foundation which is the Word of God. "After this, the Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites came to wage war against Jehoshaphat. Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, 'A vast army is…

As we continue through the book of Daniel we're asking ourselves how can we avoid being formed by our culture and instead bring the kingdom into our culture. "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your …

Jesus called anyone who wants to be his disciple to give up their live which means surrendering your mind, will, and emotions to him. "Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me w…

Today we are going to stay in the book of Daniel and specifically look at how we can learn from Daniel and his friends about how we can intentionally build healthy guardrails as people of faith that can help keep us on the right path for the long term just like Daniel walked out over decades. As we bow our knee to Jesus and make him Lord, he begins…

We often feel we have one of two options when looking at the pressure of living in a secular culture: We can either separate or assimilate. The book of Daniel shows us there is a third option: We don’t have to separate or assimilate, but we can redemptively participate in the cultural moment we find ourselves in. God has called us to radically inte…

If you are wanting to live a life of faithfulness to Jesus in commitment to God’s plan and His design, everything around you in our cultural moment will rage against that. We live in many ways in a digital Babylon that condemns moral guidelines, champions immorality, and condemns those who won’t celebrate this new moral vision. God has called us to…

Methods and vision can change as we adapt to the ever changing circumstances of life, but it's our values that determine who we become and what we do with our lives! Values form our decision making, our priorities, and our financial decisions. As a church we have strong values that shape the way we look at things and how we make our calls regardles…

A weakness is a known bad trait someone has and they try to hide it even though it’s visible — it’s insecurity. Vulnerability is different. It’s the openness and honesty about a weakness or pain with a full desire and willingness to fix it. To grow in our faith and toward the callings God has for us we must be vulnerable with those in our community…

What if you could be content with nothing but hunger and need: That is the absurdity of what Paul is telling us in Philippians 4. But the truth is you are most fulfilled not when your plate is full or your bank account is full but when your heart and mind is full of the hope of Christ Jesus. “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have le…

How does a relationship with God provide us the tools we need to live above the anxiety in our world and not carry this in our lives? How do we become people of peace in an anxious world? If we live in a world of systemic anxiety, it takes a person who is a differentiated (able to separate) non-anxious presence to lead people out of it. Here is wha…

Righteousness – a right standing with God – is never ever grounded on your accomplishments. It’s not about what you have done or don’t do for God. It’s about what Jesus has done. You can only Christ through faith & repentance as you commit yourself to Christ. And after we become one, we press into our righteousness, we press into the perfect creatu…

You will not become who God made you to be by winging it on your own. When you repent of sins and turn towards God you become part of a new family called the Church. God designed the church brilliantly with everything we need to grow and become like Jesus. “I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. For everyone lo…

In our faith the intention to obey and the cultivation of a life of obedience is our responsibility but at the same time, God doesn’t just call us to obey, he gives us the ability to obey. This is saying God gives us the desire to obey and has given us the power to do it. In this power we can go from people who are warped and crooked, bent in on ou…

It requires an incredible amount of humility to set aside our secondary preferences for the greater good of our community. It’s a high goal and often seems impossible to live selflessly as Philippians calls us to because we often have great faith in God’s ability to save our souls but often low faith in His ability to transform our hearts. The trut…

How can we have a life of overflow of joy in the midst of a world of consumption? We all have systems and we must evaluate what our systems are producing if we want to find the path to flourishing that God has for us. A path of flourishing that sets us apart from the world in that we have a joy that defies our circumstances through our peace and st…

What are you searching for? Has what you have been going to to satisfy your searching delivered on what it promised? Jesus is reaching out to you right now. And if you’ll answer this call, if you search for the risen Jesus, he’ll deliver on what he promised. He’ll change you from the inside out. He’ll change your today and he’ll change your future.…

You may have had needs for so long you’ve gone quiet. If you don’t keep your needs accurately and honestly in front of Jesus your faith and hope will drift. Jesus is not focused on the amount of faith you have, he’s focused on the object of your faith. But if you see yourself and your situation properly, you will bring your needs persistently, and …
