Last week Pastor Shane began a message about worry from the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus confronts our worries. Changing our mindset towards what is true and right and pure will give us the power to let go of worry.

Our world is filled with worry, hurt and helplessness. So often, we feel very far from God. But being mindful of the nearness of God will help you defeat worry.

Studies show that we are much richer, healthier, more educated than ever. So why are we so unhappy and depressed? A familiar passage in Matthew offers a remedy.

Two brothers had quite different encounters with Jesus, but both ended up being His close disciples and sharing the Gospel around the world.

Saul was Israel's first king-- appointed by God to lead. Sadly, he's remembered more for his failures than anything else.

Mark was a man who had a complicated history with the Apostle Paul, but God used him mightily to share the Gospel and even to write one!

Pastors Shane and Scott talk about the encounters series. Discussing Sarah, Jairus, John, Paul, and Bartamaeus.

Sarah, the wife of Abraham, was far from perfect. Yet, God who is faithful, kept the promise He made to her. We can encounter His faithfulness still today!

The life of Paul shows us that suffering and struggle are inevitable consequences of following Christ.

While these processes are not easy, they align us with the heart of Jesus!

We see in the family of Mary, Martha and Lazarus a variety of personalities and preferences. Our families are similar! Pastor Kristian talks about the importance of Jesus' presence in our lives regardless of our temperaments and opinions.
