2024 will be the best year of your life if it is your best year spiritually. Pastor Chris wraps up 2023 and helps us look toward 2024 with great practices on how we can become more like Jesus in the new year.

The word love in the Bible is often associated with breathtaking acts of trust and sacrifice. In fact, the first time the word love is used in the Bible, God puts Abraham's love to the test by asking him to make an unthinkable sacrifice. He says, 'Take your son, your only son, whom you love, and offer him as an offering?' Of course, we know Abraham passed the test. But the point is that in the Bible, love is not just a feeling. Love is an act, a sacrifice you make, a gift you give.

Pastor Whit wraps up our teaching series, Advent.

How would you live your life if you really believed that God was actually pleased with you? What would you fear if you believed that God was really for you? God is committed to you and delights in you. Your source of joy will always be found in His presence. Pastor Whit continues through our teaching series, Advent.

When it feels like it's impossible to escape the upsetting things in our world, look at Jesus. Pray, and take heart because He has overcome the world. We can have peace in the middle of trouble. Pastor Blake continues through our teaching series, Advent.

Hope is a positive expectation of the future. People need hope. In fact, it's necessary for human flourishing, but Christian hope is different. Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." All other hope is shakeable and abstract, but Christian hope is specific, certain, and communal, rooted in the promises of God.

God calls you by name into His story. He knows the best things about you and the worst things about you. You're not an extra in the mission of God. He has something unique for you. Pastor Lee continues in our teaching series, Missio Dei.

Our Lead Pastor, Whit George continues through our teaching series, Missio Dei, and shares some exciting updates on where we faithfully believe our church is headed over the next few years.

This week, Pastor Whit talks about what it looks like to partner with God and what we can expect when we do. When we determine to follow God into some place new, there will be opposition. But when we walk with God through the valley of the shadow of death, we become the kind of people who can face anything. God has been faithful in generations past to bring us to this moment. We can have confidence that He will continue working in and through us for generations to come.

Whatever God does in you, He wants to do through you. People often think of their walk with God as running a race, but perhaps the most accurate picture of what following God should look like is running a relay race. This picture reminds us we're part of a larger story, and we're meant to pass the baton on to the next generation. To do this, we have to be willing to let go of what has been to step into what's to come.

Has it ever occurred to you that God has a mission? The Bible has one through-line, a thread that begins in Genesis 1 and weaves itself all the way into the book of Revelation: the mission of God. You can't separate God's work from His people. If you're going to follow God, it's going to require movement, and it's going to require risk. But one thing is for sure: He'll always lead you back to life.
