Bill Hanawalt begins 2019 with A Year of Living Intentionally series

A group of shepherds rejoice over a baby even though nothing about their circumstances will change for at least another 30 years. What can we learn from them about rejoicing in our weariness? As we move through this stressful season, let’s remember what exactly it is we’re celebrating.

Jesus’ birth stirred a weary world to rejoice. God calls us to the do the same. How do we rejoice from our weariness? How do we experience joy as we wait for in the “not quite yet”? Pam Larkin explores what it means to be a part of the weary world chorus.

Advent has begun. We hold our longing and waiting in front of Jesus and ask “God where are you? God what are you doing”? Renee Cunningham explores Gods invitation to Mary and to hope.

Steve Nicholson concludes the sermon series “De-Mystifying the Holy Sprit”

Bill Hanawalt continues into the third week of “De-Mystifying the Holy Sprit” sermon series.

The Bible teaches that God speaks to us and we are designed to hear Him, but how? Renée Cunningham looks at truth about how God speaks to us and practical steps on where we can start.

If we’re going to do a series on demystifying the Holy Spirit, we have to start by acknowledging that the Holy Spirit is mystifying. The Holy Spirit is mystifying and disorienting, but also the Holy Spirit is here. How can we engage with the Holy Spirit in a way that doesn’t ask us to check our brains […]

Cindy Nicholson finishes off our series on making decisions with Jesus by suggesting four ways we can test the decisions we have made to know that they are good ones.

Renee Cunningham looks at what what we can consider when making good decisions gets complicated. What do we need to remember about God and consider about our own hearts when we are tangled up in making a decision or preparing to make a decision

Bill Hanawalt looks on how we can make good decisions with Jesus as we continue in the second week of “Making Decisions with Jesus” sermon series.

Steve Nicholson looks on how we can make good decisions with Jesus as we start “Making Decisions with Jesus” sermon series.

Steve Nicholson looks at the Story of Joseph as we end the Hope for the Disappointed sermon series.

We have all been disappointed with ourselves. When disappointment shows up, shame steps in. Disappointment and shame tell us the lies that we are not enough, we should have and we always. But then there is Jesus, offering himself to us. What happens when we reach for Jesus from our shame and disappointment? Renee Cunningham […]

Have you ever been disappointed by someone? Experienced that gut wrenching feeling of being let down by another person? God has been calling us to Himself and to others since the beginning of time, so He is prepared. God extends Himself to us in remarkable ways when we encounter disappointment in our relationships.

We have all experienced the tug of war between God and Satan, between hope and despair. We have all had some run in with the dragon.
