Crazy Prayers
Our culture, tired of injustices, is saying, “Enough prayers. More actions.” While action is always important, the Persistent Widow, in Luke 18:1-8, reminds us that change must always starts with praying like a crazy person. Prayer aligns our heart with Jesus’. Before we jump into action, we need to make sure our hearts are aligned with his.

Going to God for His Wisdom
Pastor Brad considers how we need to focus on God’s wisdom and not the wisdom of our own eyes.
Honestly!
How important is our integrity in daily life to God? Is it really necessary?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 18: 3 John)
Jim Krenning shares from 3 John this week, calling us to think about the testimony of our lives.
Crazy Serving
The wisdom of the world says: “Get ahead at all costs.” In Mark 10:35-45, James and John tried that when they asked Jesus for a promotion: “When you take your throne, can we have thrones on each side of you?”. Jesus confronted their worldly attitudes by teaching them a crazy strategy for success: Instead of “Get ahead at all costs” Jesus told them to “Serve no matter the cost.”
The End of the (Real) Cold War
As we wrap up “alive,” we find that the resurrection speaks to more than just us having a body again: it speaks to restoration for the world.

Esther

Spare Parts of Belief?
Pastor Tim continues our series “Alive,” by looking at the promise of resurrection for each of us. Is that just a comforting myth to help us cope with death or is a hope we can count on?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 15: Exodus)
Join us as Melanie Haynes takes us to Exodus for encouragement about the God who is there with us throughout life.
Jesus & Me: Paul
Active opposition to Jesus is noticeable, but is it possible that even followers of Jesus could be passively opposing Jesus? Are we telling Jesus, “No, not yet”? Paul’s story begins by him actively opposing Jesus. However, Jesus shows up to give him a new vision, a new mission and a new calling. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Paul is able to move into a ministry of suffering and a life of “Yes, Jesus.”
The Evergreen Hope of Easter

Join Pastor Tim for a reflection on the good news of Easter with a look at the story of the Resurrection from the Gospel of Mark.
