What does it mean to live with the awareness that God is always with us? In Week 1 of Eden: God With Us, we look at God’s original design for humanity, His desire to dwell among His people, and how His presence continues to shape our lives today. Discover what it means to recognize, respond to, and live in the presence of God.

What if gratitude doesn’t change your circumstances—but changes how you live within them?

Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, this episode explores how negativity shapes our attention and how gratitude helps us notice God’s goodness without denying life’s challenges.

What if your past doesn’t have to define your future?

In this message, we explore how God meets us in the broken, complicated, and painful parts of our stories—and how His grace can transform what we thought was beyond redemption.

Through the story of Paul, we’re reminded that our past may be part of our story, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. God is still writing, still healing, and still working in our lives.

Listen to the full message and discover what it means to let God heal your story.

Faith doesn’t make Jesus powerful. Jesus is powerful.

And when healing doesn’t happen the way or when we expect, that doesn’t automatically mean our faith failed. Our hope is bigger than the miracle we are asking for. Whether Jesus heals instantly, heals over time, sustains us in the waiting, or ultimately makes us completely whole, He is still good.

We don’t put our faith in our faith. We put our faith in Jesus.

Have you ever felt downcast in a way you couldn’t explain—a fatigue you couldn’t name or an internal unrest you couldn’t fix?

In Psalm 42, the psalmist describes his soul as a deer panting for flowing streams. His deepest need wasn’t merely physical, mental, or emotional relief; his soul was thirsty for the living God.

In this message, we explore the Hebrew word “nephesh,” often translated as “soul” or “life.” Scripture presents the soul not simply as one part of who we are, but as the whole person—the center that holds together our memories, wounds, relationships, fears, desires, and beliefs.

What happens within your soul will eventually reveal itself through your life. And when your soul is downcast, healing begins by bringing your thirst to the only One who can truly satisfy it.

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation.” — Psalm 42:5 ESV

Have you ever felt like you lost something spiritually—the joy, peace, intimacy, or purpose you once had?

Psalm 51 records David’s prayer of repentance after he was confronted about his sin. Rather than simply asking God to remove the consequences, David asked Him to restore everything sin had damaged within him.

Through David’s prayer, we see that God revives our heart, our resolve, our intimacy, our joy, and our purpose.

Repentance is not merely saying, “God, forgive me.” It is praying, “God, restore what sin has broken in me.”

God does not only forgive what sin has done. He revives what sin has damaged. Repentance is not where the story ends—it is where revival begins.

When life gets hard, why keep following Jesus?In Jesus in the Suffering, we explore Hebrews 2–5 and discover how the identity and work of Jesus give us strength to endure hardship without losing faith.The book of Hebrews was written to weary believers whose faith was costing them something. Rather than minimizing their suffering, the author gives them a greater vision of Jesus—because the bigger our view of Jesus becomes, the stronger our endurance will be.Through this message, we are reminded that:Jesus became one of us and can identify with our suffering.We must guard our hearts from becoming hardened through hardship.Because Jesus is our great High Priest, we can confidently approach God’s throne of grace and receive mercy and help in our time of need.Suffering is not less painful for the Christian, but it is more hopeful. Jesus is not distant from our pain. He has experienced suffering, He is present with us within it, and He is interceding for us through it.What hardship, burden, or suffering do you need to bring before the throne of God today?

What do you do when life stops making sense and you just want an answer?

In this message, worship pastor Grant Anderson shares a story of getting stranded in the Colorado mountains at 1am and how it opened his eyes to a truth we often miss: that we're wired to treat God like a problem to solve instead of a presence to encounter.

Walking through the story of Job, Grant unpacks the difference between wonder and doubt, and why God so often responds to our questions not with explanations, but with a bigger vision of Himself. You'll be challenged to notice God in the small, ordinary details — and given a simple, practical way to train your imagination toward wonder this week.

Come to God for answers… or come to God for Him?

Jesus gave His Church a clear commission: go and make disciples of all nations.

This week, Doug Graham from OneHope shares how God’s Word is reaching children and teenagers around the world—including those living in places where the name of Jesus is rarely spoken. Through generosity, digital outreach, and an unwavering commitment to the Great Commission, the Church can help bring lasting hope to the next generation.

This Sunday, we’re doing something a little different for Sabbath Sunday. Since it’s the day after the 4th of July, we’re creating space for our church family, Dream Team, and staff to slow down, rest, and worship from home. Today’s message from Pastor Sam was pre-recorded so we can still gather around God’s Word together, even while taking a different rhythm.

We pray this message encourages you, strengthens your faith, and helps you make room for the rest God invites us into.
