The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest POWER we have ever known. In this one act that changed the course of history, God shows that we are the focus of that power. The power of the empty tomb is an expression of unconditional love for people who had never demonstrated the same such love toward Him! God sent His Son, Jesus, to DO what mankind would not, and to BECOME what mankind could not.
For every person who is tired of being a "slave", tired of sin costing them so much, or tired of the aching void in their life, there’ s a Love and Power that has pursued us since the beginning of time and is available to each of us right now.

What do we think about when we think of God’s will? Divine insurance? A GPS or assistant? Often, what we really want is the best version of our own will combined with God’s blessing. But God’s will and His blessing are not always the same thing. As we take a closer look at Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, we learn that pursuing the will of God in our lives means having our own (even good) desires pruned away and the courage to truly pray "Not my will, but Yours be done."

In Part 2 of The Church United, local pastors come together to discuss how the Coronavirus has affected our lives so drastically that it could become easy for us to lose hope and fall into despair. Looking at the journey to the cross Jesus and his disciples took beginning from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem all the way to Calvary, we can learn many lessons from them that apply to our current situation. At first hailed a king, only 5 days later the disciples' expectations, hopes and dreams were dashed when Jesus was crucified. Despair and grief overtook them because life and the future was not as they planned.

The Coronavirus is spreading around the nation and the world. So why the mad dash to buy up the supply of toilet paper!?!?!
People resort to extremes when things seem out of control and uncertain. We look for something physical & tangible; things we can see to assure us of things we cannot know. This is a dangerous trap that Christ-followers must be sure to avoid because we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Uncertainty which is not challenged by the Truth of God’s Word EXPOSES things in us as Christ-followers. This message from 5 local pastors will challenge us to move from a saving faith to a living, daily faith no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in.

What does it mean to be spiritually brave?

The brave are adventurous: curious and excited for a new thing. The brave are full of assurance: confident of the vision and full of faith. The brave are ready for action: equipped and obedient. But these characteristics don't just happen. Even though we are all born brave, sometimes our courage has been domesticated, tamed, and quenched by the spirit of fear. With a prophetic message for the Church and every individual, Pastor Tom Van Kempen teaches us practical steps to recovering our courage and having a different spirit...a BRAVE spirit.

We all find ourselves at some point searching for our purpose. We scramble to understand the reason for why we exist. At the core of our searching is the belief that our purpose is our decision, so we need to come up with the answer. What if finding our purpose is actually much simpler than we make it? What if it only requires trust and surrender? What if we realized it's not up to us?

We will all face difficult situations and tension in our workplace. But God will use those people and those moments to bring great glory to Himself and have a tremendous impact in and through our lives. Taking us through the example of Daniel in the Bible, Pastor Tim points out the necessary habits required to tame these toxic workplace environments: God's favor, exceptional work, honest and integrity, and our commitment to faith over culture. Are you ready to stop being a victim in your workplace and live as a VICTOR in it? Listen in.

In Week 4 of our series on relationships, we talk through Taming Rage. In society, our issues and preferences and our perspective on them are dividing us more and more rather than bringing us together. We've become angry, isolated and defensive. We've lost our ability to reason together and understand each other. Why is that? How can we as Christ-followers tame the rage within ourselves? It starts with having our convictions transformed and established by the Word of God. Only then can we attempt to come together, communicate and understand one another as God intended.

Males and females were created with vast differences. Within the covenant of marriage, our differences were designed to make us one. We fit together, mutually dependent on the other. But in so many marriages, our differences become conflicts, leading to discontentment and hopelessness. So, HOW DO WE PREVENT OUR DIFFERENCES FROM BECOMING IRRECONCILABLE? Listen as Pastor Patrick gives practical steps we can take in our marriage to demonstrate there are no differences that can't be reconciled through Christ.
