The Joy of the Wise Men

"When they saw the star they were OVERJOYED!"  The wise men were filled with joy, followed the star and they made their way to the Messiah, giving him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This week we will be reminded of the joy of the wise men in the story in Matthew 2.

An Essential to Spark our Joy

The truth we find in Philippians 1:27-30 is JOY-SPARKING truth for our lives! Paul helps us return to an essential of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, and reminds us that as we treasure HIM, it's sure to spark some major JOY in our lives. 

September 22, 2024

Interruptions are Opportunities

Joy in our lives is a project. And like most projects, they never quite go like you'd expect. They take longer than you'd hope and sometimes you come away learning something you didn't know at the beginning. This week we take a look at the second half of chapter 1 in Philippians. Paul is writing from an unexpected place and he leaves us with 4 opportunities to consider for our lives. 

September 15, 2024

Living Christ-Centered

A Happy Home

June 23, 2024

In Relational Hurt

Even as a disciple that is thriving, there will be days when evil hits in the form of a relational hurt. How do we respond? Our text from the latter part of 1 Peter 2 lays out instructions for us to live out our calling as a faithful follower of Christ, even through a relational hurt. If you've ever been in an argument, had personal conflict or been hurt by someone...this is for you! (ie - every human this side of heaven) We'll look to the cross for our hope in our fallen world!

Servant Over All

After last week's message and the event of the eclipse, perhaps you've been asking the question of yourself of whether you're living ready for Jesus' return?! Over the next few weeks, we'll continue thinking through areas of our lives and whether or not we are practicing the way of Jesus in that specific area, living ready for His return. This week we're in Mark 9.30-37 and look at our ambition to be great. We use the example of Christ as our model and adopt a new ambition when it comes to our own greatness!

April 7, 2024

Practical Wisdom

This week's message may provide some of the most practical wisdom we could share in regards to the world we live in. Mark 13 is commonly referred to as the Olivet Discourse. It might be one of the most difficult chapters in the New Testament. We'd encourage you to get a head start and read all of Mark 13 before you listen to this message. We talk about a variety of topics including the end of the world, eclipses, earthquakes, famines, persecution...and most importantly, Jesus' commands in the midst of it all.

Resurrection Joy

An Apprenticeship

This Sunday we look in at Jesus' life as if we're doing an apprenticeship, watching his work and seeking to model ourselves after his example. In Mark 1 and 2 we see the priorities in Jesus' life and evaluate how we can adopt the priorities of Christ in our own lives as we "Practice the Way of Jesus"!

January 14, 2024

Pruning

We're back at the work of strengthening our CORE this week! We're be focused on a different type of trial that we face and see how to remain steady, even when the hits from the enemy may come. 

January 7, 2024

Testing

Do you consider it pure JOY when you face trials, big or small? It's HARD. But James has a few encouraging things to say about how we do this! In this week's message we read through the first 8 verses of chapter 1 to learn that God's intention is to give us pure JOY all the time..to the brim..overflowing!
