It seems absurd to have hope, especially in the face of difficulties and disappointments, but when we truly experience Jesus, not only can we have hope, but a hope that won't disappoint us.

Most High Priest were cut off and separated from the people. Jesus is a completely sympathetic High Priest, because Jesus completely understands our weakness. We finished this sermon by taking the Lord's Supper, breaking bread to remind us of Jesus body broken for us.

We all want to be in control, but following Jesus requires us to trust him to lead our lives. This sermon is part of a series on the book of Hebrews.

This week we had the privilege of worshiping together with Crossroads Church and being challenged about the importance of Christian Unity.

Guest speaker Brian Jennings, author of "Dancing in No Man's Land," wrapped up our series talking about the importance of finding unity, balancing doctrine and relationships, and being an example to the world.

Some people excel at speaking with grace. Others are great at telling the truth. It is rare to find someone who has the willingness and ability to offer both immense grace and dependable truth. Living in No Man's Land requires us to speak and live out grace and truth.

It happens over and over again--at the first sign of conflict, we flee to a bunker with people who think like us and attack everyone else.

We all have a life story. It is where God's story and our story collide that things get interesting. God is able to bring light into our stories of shame.
