In this exhortation, Pastor Mike Schumann looks at Mark 7 where Jesus provides “evil thoughts” as an example of a common sin for us. What is your thought life like? How would Jesus describe your common imaginations?

In this exhortation, Pastor Daniel Helstrom focuses in on the latter part of the Great Commission that tells us to do all that Jesus has commanded of us. How exactly are we supposed to do all that? Is it even realistic?

In this exhortation, Pastor Jonathan Parnell reflects on his grandfather’s stories of biblical faith seen through the many years at his local church.

In this exhortation, Pastor Mike Schumann reflects on the reality that we do not own our bodies for we were bought with a price – our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, let’s confess the ways we have used our bodies in ways that are not pleasing to God.

In this exhortation, Jon Hoglund remembers a story of some Christian men overseas being arrested for gathering together in prayer. If something similar happened among our communities, would we be more or less likely to make life group and community group meetings a priority next week?

In this exhortation, Ryan Griffith looks to Paul’s teachings on the church body and its individual members which reminds us of our need for one another. Each follower of Jesus has an indispensable gift. Let’s fully grow together as a holy community, as a field hospital for the hurting, as an outpost of kingdom-expanding mission.
