In every area of life, we work hard to earn what we have. Put differently: we achieve then we receive. But according to Jesus, spirituality doesn't function that way; we can only receive what He achieved. Discover why in this week's podcast.

Only 8% of new year's resolutions are successful. Why do we have so much trouble becoming the people we want to be? Why are we so quick to start self-improvement projects, but slow to embrace the process of becoming more like Jesus. Find out in this week's message from pastor Dan.

Have you ever noticed that everybody always seems to be trying to "save" Christmas? Nearly every Christmas movie features children, animals, or elves trying to save the holiday. But maybe Christmas doesn't need to be saved; perhaps it simply needs to be shared. Join us, as we recapture the wonder, the joy and the meaning of the best day of the year.

The Christmas story contains four words that sum up everything important about the holiday. What are those four words? Why are they so powerful? Find out in the second week of our series, "Recapture Christmas."

The Christmas season is full of tension: It's supposed to be the most magical time of the year, but more often, it's the most stressful time of the year. Is it possible to recapture the joy of the season? It is! Find out how in this week's podcast.

The Bible calls Christians to be the most generous people on earth. But why? To earn God's favor? Simply to make the world a better place? Or is the reason more powerful than we could have ever imagined? Find out in the fourth week of our "Be Rich" series.

Everyone wants to live generously, but one thing consistently holds us back. What is it? Find out in the third installment of our series, "Be Rich."

We say things like, "Come to *my* house," and "Let's take *my* car," and "Let me introduce you to *my* wife."

But do we really own any of those things? If not, who does? And how does that knowledge help us to live generously? Find out in this week's installment of our new series, "Be Rich."

Is it possible to be rich, even if you haven't managed to get rich just yet? How can we live generously when we don't have a great deal of extra time and money?

Join us this week as we bust the biggest myth about generosity.

How did a mild-mannered rabbi who lived 2,000 years ago transform the course of human history?

This week, the Genius of Jesus is on full display in the Sermon on the Mount. In Jesus' most famous message, He challenges us to make our private lives as much as priority as our public lives.
