Is your faith feeling "dry", like you're just going through the motions? Has your faith become about rules and lost the "relationship"? This Sunday we kicked off our new series based on the "letters to the seven churches" in Revelation--and we learned how to return to the passion we first had in our faith, by re-focusing on love.

It's hard being stuck in "the waiting rooms" of life--and it can really test our faith. On Sunday we learned how to endure those long waiting seasons, to develop patterns of obedience & faith, to trust that God is always working, and to not give up...

Whenever we're having our faith tested in the "waiting rooms" of life, we're gonna be tempted to take shortcuts—which end up short-changing our lives! On Sunday we learned why to quit settling for shortcuts, and some practical ways to trust God's perfect timing instead! (and why "bamboo" is a powerful picture of it)

How do we live our lives in ways that make a real impact, leave a legacy, and leaves things behind that live on after we're gone? On this Sunday we learned from the life of Elijah (and from Jesus) two important ways to invest in & impact other people, so that God can create a real legacy through our lives--and have it change us in the process.

How do we keep from just "skimming" our lives, and ensure that we experience all that God has for us in life? It starts with developing practices of reflecting & meditating on our lives, ourselves, and who God is & what He's doing. On this Sunday, we learned from Elijah's life how to prioritize slowing & reflecting, and how God provides all we need in the midst of it...

One of the biggest regrets in life ends up being the risks / steps of faith that we don't take. What is it that holds us back? How do we develop the courage & faith to take the kinds of risks God is calling us to? In this message, we learn from the powerful (and fun!) story of Elijah, and how God honored his courage to take steps of faith--and how that shows practical ways to grow in our faith...

We all face trials & challenges of all shapes and sizes, and they can leave us feeling confused, alone, and even struggling with our faith. But God has a better way for us through them. On Sunday we discovered how to find a deep kind of joy & fresh perspectives & even growth, as we learn to navigate these challenging situations--with Him...(Guest Speaker: John Hughes)

Easter proves the depths of God's love for us, and the Resurrection proves that the worst thing in my life, never has to be the last word in my life. Learn with us how Jesus still brings hope & resurrected life into the things in our lives that feel "dead and buried"--and how we're meant to not just "commemorate" the Resurrection, but "participate" in Resurrection life!

Three things most humans are searching for: Where am I meant to go in life? How do I find real truth? How do I experience "the good life"? And Jesus answers all three of these in one "I Am" statement as He reveals to us more of who He really is and why He came for us! On Sunday we learned what it means to follow Him in as our way, our truth, and our life...and that leads us to "home."

We all have to walk through "dark valleys" in our lives, and that can test our faith more than anything. So how do we find God in the midst of that? On Sunday we learned ALL that it means for our lives when we're willing to follow Jesus as our "Good Shepherd"--and how we are called to help shepherd each other.
