Depression is stigmatized in a lot of Christian circles. We either avoid the topic entirely, or we talk about it in hushed, shameful tones. We act as if believers are just supposed to be happy-go-lucky all the time. But Pastor J.D. reveals that reality isn’t that simple! We’re discovering the biblical response for when Christians go through depression. It’s part of our study of the Prophet Elijah called, Something Better. We’re picking up the story after Elijah’s victory over the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel.

Plenty of people have high aspirations.But as easy as it is to dream about our goals, it’s a lot harder to take the little, everyday steps to reach them. The same is true in our walk with God. We like to think we’d follow God to the ends of the earth, but we haven’t even taken the first little steps of faith. That’s our subject as Pastor J.D. wraps up our study of the prophet Elisha called, Something Greater.

One Small Step, Part 2

When most of us pray, we typically spend the bulk of our time telling God about our needs and desires. There’s nothing wrong with that, but what does it say about our hearts? Pastor J.D. asks us to take a look inside and consider whether we really want God, or just his blessings. We’re in a two-part series called, Something Better/Something Greater.

If you wear glasses, you know how important they are for everyday life. And if you ever lose or break them, you’re not going to waste any time getting a replacement, because without our eyes, most of us are pretty helpless. And we also miss out on seeing all the beauty around us! As we continue our series called, Something Greater, Pastor J.D. reveals that you might be going through life blind, without even knowing it!

Clear Eyes Full Heart, Part 2

Imagine driving down a windy mountain road and having your headlights go off!  When we’re driving blind, we’re asking for trouble. And as we continue our series called, Something Greater, Pastor J.D. explains that many of us are going through life with spiritual blindness. We’re learning how the eyes of our hearts can be opened so we can move from darkness to light.

Clear Eyes Full Heart

In Christian circles, we tend to throw the word “blessing” around a lot. And it’s true that every good gift is from God! But even non-believers enjoy the “common grace” of everyday blessings. There’s a big difference between good things happening to us, and God actively moving in a miraculous way. As he continues our series called, Something Greater, Pastor J.D. explains how we can experience God’s miraculous, mountain-moving power in our own lives. It might not be how you expect!
