The Donkeys of Life
Talking donkeys? Paid prophets? What’s going on here? Balaam and his donkey (Numbers 22) help us to think about facing temptations and living faithfully as we start a new series tonight. In the series, we’ll look at this man who teetered between listening to the Lord and listening to the world around him and see the ways we struggle with the same.
Joy for the Journey
Are we showing the characteristics of joy in our lives?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 34: 2 Kings)
What do we do when the things we do that we thought were lasting get wiped away? As we turn to the fall of the kingdom of Judea this week, Pastor Tim reflects on that question.
Love on the Vine
We are called to be people who show love God and love of people. That is what we should strive to be known for, not all the other things we often grasp onto.
A Lion in the Streets... Really?!?
What sort of excuses do we make to avoid doing what God has called us to do?
The Lasting City
What is our mission today as a church and as individuals? How does it affect what we do in our daily lives?
Time for Church
As children of God, do we look forward to coming into God’s presence?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 33: Ruth)
We all yearn for rescue from aspects of life… but is that just a fairytale hope? Melanie helps us consider where our help comes from as we turn to Ruth during this week’s 52 Verses, 52Books, 52Weeks.
Life is Found on the Vine
Do we recognize how we are just a branch being nourished by the vine of our Savior or do we try to be the vine?
No Honor for the Fool
So often, we listen to those who deny that God exists and take what they say as wisdom.
The Cheeseburger Made Me Do It
God calls us to unity, but the Church struggles to follow that calling. What does being one who seeks to live according to the “bond of peace” really look like for us?
Sunstroke or Moonstruck
Pastor Steve looks at the Lord’s protection as we turn to Psalm 121 this week for “Words of Wisdom.”
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 32: Numbers)
What do we do when the waters of life seem rough? We turn to the God who is our lifeguard and helps provide the safety of a pool of His Grace.
A Pop God is Nice and Powerless
There’s a Glory coming and it is not going to be in the next election or the next job. It is in Jesus.
As the Rivers of Water...
The Lord’s power is over all things on earth, even those earthly things that seem the most powerful.
Flood Stage
What are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper meant to do? How do we make sense of them? Are they mere empty rituals? Things we can do to save ourselves? Something else?
Time for a Break?
What do we do when we are in the valleys of life? How do we get find a time to rest in the Lord?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 31: Hebrews)
What do the Olympics have to do with the life God has called us to? Let’s race to the answer tonight as we turn to the Letter to the Hebrews for 52 Verses from 52 Books in 52 Weeks!
A Pop God is a Bad Dad
A common cultural belief is that God is a bad dad. A look at Luke 15 shows us God as the greatest dad there ever was.

How do we express ourselves? It’s more than having important truth to share; if we present it just because we want to be heard, we can still come off as fools.
