John Mark Comer, a pastor, and writer from Portland, OR, says this: While 49% of millennials and 65% of American adults as a whole still identify as “Christian” in national surveys, a recent in-depth analysis by the Barna Group, a Christian Think Tank, put the number of young adults who are “resilient di ...

We wake up every morning to the pull of performance. “What do I have to do today?” Our phones, our schedules, and our own hearts scream for us to get busy and prove that we deserve what we’re received. Justin Earley says, “Legalism is the belief that the world hangs on what I do and that God and people love me based on how I perform.” However, Psal…

In Pastor Tommy's sermon today we explore 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 and Paul’s powerful call to unity in the body of Christ.

This truth is spiritually regulating, calling us away from immaturity and individualism t…

In Psalm 23, David is not sugarcoating life with cheesy sayings that don’t connect with reality. He is honest that our world can be a harsh place to live. We all have times where we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Where do we turn when we find ourselves face to face with trouble? Is experiencing hardship a sign that the Lord has a…

In his 2019 book, The Power of Human, Adam Waytz tells a story about an immigrant who moved to the United States and began learning English informally, through conversations.

In this conversation, we’ll reflect on how the light of Jesus guides us in three key areas: 1. Spiritual Formation over Ideological Formation – Choosing to be shaped by God's truth instead of cultural trends. 2.

Today we encounter a profoundly unsettling passage from Luke 3:7-18. While the world rushes toward premature Christmas cheer, John the Baptist’s message cuts through our spiritual complacency like a fiery blade. His harsh words—"You brood of vipers!"—aren't the stuff of holiday cards or cozy manger scenes. Instead, these words call us to confront t…
