Job’s friends often catch a bad wrap for how they responded to his tragedy. In truth, they did a lot of things right - but they got one very important thing wrong, and if we aren’t careful, we can make the same mistake. Join us for week 5 of “Dust & Ashes.”

Satan plays a small but important role in Job's story - which begs the question: How much of a role does the devil play in my story? In today’s episode of “Dust & Ashes,” pastor Dan explains why the biggest threat to your soul is much closer than you might think.

The Old Testament character of Job is most known for his faith and perseverance. But it turns out, he is also one of the best examples of fatherhood in the entire Bible. What did he know that made him so great? Pastor Dan explains in this special Father’s Day edition of “Dust & Ashes.”

Job’s trials were so upsetting, some theologians have suggested his story is a fictional parable designed to help us think about suffering. Whether that’s true or not, one thing is certain - When we read the book of Job, our minds should be drawn beyond Job to Jesus, who’s suffering purchased our redemption.

The story of Job has comforted millions of people over the millennia. Typically, this passage of scripture is assumed to answer the question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” And while the book of Job certainly has much to offer on the subject, it’s actually asking a deeper question: “How can I trust that God is good when life is so painful?” Join us for week 1 of our new series Dust and Ashes.

Romans 8:28 reminds us that, “All things, God works for the good of those who love Him.” What an encouragement! That verse doesn’t say in “some” things or “most” things, or the “big” things - but God is at work through every single situation. In today’s message pastor Dan reminds us that everything is going to be okay because God is in control!

On Friday, we held our Chocolate & Coffee Ladies Night and it was a hit! Ps. Amber shared a message all about living a life of integrity and what that means in our daily life. We followed that up with a panel discussion, where our guests shared some examples of changes they have made in how they respond to situations in life. Be sure to check it out if you weren't able to attend or need a refresher!

Today we celebrate mothers and learn from Galatians 5 that the world doesn’t need #SuperMoms, but Spirit-filled women who know their greatest calling is to glorify God - whatever their family situation may look like!
