(5/18/25) Change of Mind: Thought Life

What are most of your thoughts focused on lately? On Sunday in our series for May (Mental Health Awareness Month) we got super practical in learning how to partner with God to change our thought life--which overflows into all other areas of our lives! Learn with us wisdom from God's Word (and how psychology backs it up) to avoid the unhealthy thought patterns & learn to re-fcous our thoughts in helpful directions...

(5/11/25) Change of Mind: Courage & Faith (Mother's Day)

For Mother's Day, we learned from an "unsung hero mom" of the Bible about how to find courage & faith when facing the hard things in our lives, including mental health challenges. We learned why fear is NOT the opposite of courage, and why we can still have faith even when God isn't making sense...

(5/4/25) Change of Mind: Hold onto Hope

Did you know God cares about our mental health? And He wants to help transform our thought life! And most importantly, He can help us find the main thing that our anxieties and fears try to steal--hope. Learn with us how to find & choose hope daily in God...

(4/27/25) The Love Revolution: Our Identity of Love

It's so easy to find our identity in so many other things in our lives (popularity, possessions, accomplishments, failures, what others say about us)--but God wants to give us our new identity through His revolutionary love--one of being "beloved." On this Sunday we wrapped up our series by learning how to embrace our new identity in God.

(4/13/25) The Love Revolution: Love for the World

Jesus was clear about the most important commandments in our lives: loving God, and loving our neighbors. So how do we deepen in our love for our neighbors/neighborhoods, even when it's messy? This Sunday we learned more about how to, from two interconnected stories (and the two times Jesus wept): the Palm Sunday story (a story of two parades) + the story of Jesus unexpectedly raising a dead guy.

(4/6/25) The Love Revolution: Love for Each Other

What's the key to experiencing the fullness of God's love? To experiencing joy? To helping people "see" God? To showing others what it means to follow of God? Jesus says ALL of these are found in learning to "love one another." In this service, we submerge into how to "one another" in all sorts of practical ways--another way God's revolutionary love can change everything.

(3/30/25) The Love Revolution: Love for God

If we want to move from "religion" to "relationship" in our faith, it all begins with understanding how God loves us, and how we can love Him in return. On Sunday we learned a few simple but deeply spiritual practices that help us stay connected to God in our daily lives (and are good for our human relationships too)...

(3/23/25) The Big Picture: Restoration

The "big picture" of the Bible and our story with God is that it ends where it began--with God restoring everything to back to how it was intended to be at Creation. And that brings us lots of hope, and lots of purpose! Learn with us all about this from the big picture of Revelation, the final book in the Bible...

(3/16/25) The Big Picture: Transformation

God loves you exactly as you are--and He loves you far too much to leave you that way. He wants to help you transform into the best version of yourself, the one He designed you to be, the one that looks most like Him. And He wants you to experience the best way to be human (best for you + best for the world)! Join us as we learn from Colossians what this transformation can look like...

(3/9/25) The Big Picture: Demonstration

Did you know that when you start to follow Jesus, He gives you a new daily purpose for your life? To demonstrate His love, grace, & hope everywhere we go! In this service we learned how to embrace the Great Commission + the Great Commandment from Jesus to become people who show His love in tangible ways to all the places we are sent.
