Pentecost should probably get as much love in the church as Christmas or Easter, but many Christians don’t even know what the holiday is all about. In today’s message pastor Dan explains why it’s one of the most important days in history, and how it can change your relationship with God!

Considering that we will spend approximately one-third of our lives asleep, you might think we'd be experts at snoozing by now. But every year that passes people get less and worse sleep. Perhaps the reason for our sleeplessness is that we think of sleep as merely a physical process when, according to the bible, sleep is spiritual! Join us for the final message of "Take Back Your Life."

Most people get two days off out of seven. If more than a quarter of your week is free for rest and play, why does it never seem to be enough? Perhaps it's because you weren't meant to merely have a day off, but you were created to have a sabbath. In week 4 of "Take Back Your Life" we'll discuss the differences between the two and how you can rest, recharge and refocus each weekend.

Ever take a day off and feel no more rested than the day before? According to Jesus, that’s because real rest happens in our soul, not just our body. In week 3 of the “Take Back Your Life” series, pastor Dan shares how everyone (especially moms!) can find peace where it matters most.

Ever feel like most of what’s on your calendar was put there by other people? If we aren’t careful, external demands will crowd out personal priorities (even God!) from our schedule. So in week 2 of “Take Back Your Life” we’ll follow the advice of Psalm 90:12 and “count our days” in order to make our days count.

When did “busy” become such a badge of honor? We spend our days hurrying from this activity to that obligation and in the process we become stressed out, maxed out and eventually burned out. That's exactly what your spiritual enemy wants. But Jesus offers us a different way to approach our schedules. It’s time to “Take Back Your Life!”

The death of Jesus seemed to his disciples like the greatest letdown imaginable. But his story didn’t end on Friday (and believe it or not, his story didn’t end on Sunday either!). Join us today for a celebration of hope and healing for all.

Although we promise each other “‘til death do us part,” that isn’t always the reality of marriage. How do we know when a relationship is past the point of no return? Are there biblical reasons to get divorced? What does the bible say about second (or third) marriages? Tune in for the final week of “Relationship Goals” to find out!

You might assume that the Bible only contains negative commands about sex (e.g., “Do not commit adultery”), but according to 1 Corinthians 7, God wants sex in a marriage to be fulfilling, frequent, fun and full of faith. Thanks for tuning in to week 8 of “Relationship Goals.”

We asked you to submit your unfiltered questions on sex and body issues from a Biblical perspective and - wow - did you deliver! Join Pastors Dan and Amber as they answer your questions on topics you never thought you'd hear addressed in church!
