We learn in scripture that honor is truly one of the love languages of God, but it is being lost in our world. The Bible teaches us that we honor God when we honor others. This Mother’s Day weekend we learned how honor can unlock God’s blessings in our lives in a message title “The Flavor or Honor”.

In Part 4 of “The Christian Atheist”, we learned how we often protect the idols that become a normal part of our lifestyle. But the Holy Spirit invades our lives to set us free, not by giving us more of what we think we need, but rather freeing us from the belief that we need these idols at all. This week we discussed how Jesus wants to free us from loving things that will not love us back in a message titled “American Idols”.

In our series, “The Christian Atheist”, we learned we were created to need attention from God and that the Bible is very clear about what kind of life God gives and does not give attention to. This week we talked all about attention-seeking behavior in a message titled “Does Anyone See Me?”.

In our series "The Christian Atheist”, we're discussing how deep down we know God loves us, but we often lack the belief that God has anything to say to us. This week we talked about how we can clearly hear God’s voice in a message titled “Fighting to Listen”.

This week we opened up our series, “The Christian Atheist”with a message about the struggle of taking back control from God. We discussed what happens when we do this and what our role really should be as it relates to control in our lives.

Jesus said 7 statements as he hung on the cross for us. They were all powerful and expressed his true motivation. One of the final statements Jesus said was, "It is Finished." But even though Jesus told us this, sometimes in life we don't feel like "it is finished." We often feel like there is much more work to do, proving ourselves, searching for deeper meaning or purpose, and trying to become more lovable. This weekend we will talk about what Jesus really meant here in a message I am calling, "Is It Really Finished?"

.

We will unpack the very unconventional style of Jesus witnessing to non-believers, who were very much doubting and struggling with faith. If you ever feel over your head or under-qualified when it comes to telling people about eternity, death, salvation, etc. know that is a normal feeling! But what Jesus models to us in scripture is a very different and refreshing way to boldly share our faith with others without being weird.

“Do not judge.” It’s one of the most famous verses in the Bible, even for those who’ve never stepped foot inside of a church. But what does that really mean? What do we do with the judgmental spirit often found within us? This week we’re continuing our series, GoTwo by unpacking this passage in Matthew 7. We’ll learn what it looks like to put and end to our judgment of others, but also how to go the extra mile as we GoTwo Grace.

This weekend we are pumped to be launching a new series, "Go Two.” Jesus teaches us to fall in love with the world but not its ways. This life often teaches us to think in ways like “an eye for an eye” or if you hurt me then I’ll hurt you. But the Kingdom of God flips our world’s thinking completely upside down. In this series we are excited to study the Bible and let scripture reshape the way we think about life.
