Living in community can be scary, but not as scary as being alone, especially when trouble steers our way. We need each other, but we donât have to be perfect to be a good friend. We already have the perfect friend in Jesus.
-
What you do is simply that, itâs what you do. It is not who you are. Working is a good thing but itâs not an ultimate thing. Our ultimate purpose is to honor and glorify God with who we are and what we do. This means our job doesnât have to provide us with fulfillment, satisfaction, or joy because God is the source of those good things in life.

We have a purpose far higher than the latest election. We have a mission far bigger than any political platform. We are called and commanded to love God and love people and if we will remain faithful to that mission God promises to strengthen us in the process.
-
When the world moves towards chaos we can choose to move toward order. When everyone and everything is dividing and isolating we can choose to remain united. This means we have to choose harmony and listen well to each other.
-
Our culture has taught us that whatever we feel is not only real, but should be expressed. The Bible teaches us to control ourselves and stay calm. We donât know what is ahead, but we can choose ahead of time to keep our heads.

No one ever plans to be an addict. It happens incrementally as we indulge in unhealthy behaviors and repeatedly make bad choices. âI can handle itâ is the lie we perpetually choose to believe. Eventually, we realize that we canât handle it. Such is the roller coaster ride of addiction. This message will suggest ways to overcome rather than submit to unhealthy behaviors.

Few words elicit more emotion than the word âdivorce.â We all evaluate it differently, but when we experience it, there are no words. In this message, we will learn how to help everyone involved in the emotional tug of war get to a place of healing.

Thereâs a great story in I Kings where Elijah challenges a group of 450 false prophets to a âduelâ of sorts and wins a resounding victory. In the very next chapter, we watch Elijah run 100 miles into the wilderness, where he sits under a tree depressed and begs God to take his life. In this message, weâll learn how God can minister to us in the dregs of depression.

âFear.â Just the sound of the word brings a variety of emotions. It asks the question, âFight or Flight?â Fear can unnerve us or empower us. Spur us on or hold us back. Everyone struggles with fear, and there are all kinds of fears to stare down in life. In this message, weâll look at ways to pray away fearâs slimy grip on our lives.
-
The level of fear, worry, and anxiety we experience is connected to the amount of time we spend staring at and scrolling through images on screens. What weâre looking for in technology can be found in Godâs love for us and the joy it delivers when we surrender to it and train our minds to think about it throughout the day.

In many ways, convenience has replaced common sense when it comes to our eating habits and our physical bodies pay the price. Instead of neglecting physical health, we should do everything we can to respect and strengthen what God has blessed us with.
-
Our cultural mantra is, âIf it feels good, do it.â Weâve compromised purity for the sake of pleasure. God loves us enough to give us sexual boundaries that are meant to protect us from emotional and physical harm. True sexual freedom is experienced in the safe confines of a committed marriage relationship.

The laundry room is where we turn dirty clothes into clean clothes. The same is true in the church. Itâs a safe family where we donât hide our hurts, habits, and hang ups, rather we surrender them to the transformational power of Jesus.

In the construction world, a foundation has to be solid before anything can be built on it. The same is true with the Christian faith. Everything we believe is grounded in the reality that every word in the Bible is true because itâs author is trustworthy.
-
We often live as if doubt is the opposite of faith. But what if doubt is a gateway to greater faith? Today, we'll ask "What to do with doubt?" And discover, to struggle with one's faith is often the surest sign we actually have one.

If you want to get stronger you only need one thing. Resistance. In Paulâs second letter to Timothy he continues to challenge him to get stronger by giving him three vivid pictures. Soldier. Athlete. Farmer. All three know a lot about facing resistance. Soldiers fight. Athletes compete. Farmers work. If we want to become stronger followers of Jesus we have to embrace the resistance we face on a daily basis as an opportunity to become stronger and more effective.

How vulnerability transforms a broken church into a church for the broken.

In Mark 12:12-17, the religious leaders of Jesus' day tried to trap him saying something he shouldn't say. Jesus refused to fall prey to their polarizing options. Instead, he brilliantly found a middle ground in his response giving us a blueprint for how to navigate difficult conversations. Loving one option doesn't always infer that we hate the other option. Sometimes our choices aren't between right and wrong, but between better and best. In this sermon, we will learn how to find the middle ground with the goal of uniting people in a divided world.
