On the cross we see God's heart split open. And what we find there, at the very core of God's love for us, is forgiveness. 

Foundational Scripture: Luke 23

Courage is the power of the mind to overcome fear. While we may feel a wave of courage on occasion, most of the time courage is a decision that we make that is in direct conflict with our emotions. The same is true of love. While we're prone to view love primarily as an emotion that we feel, Jesus shows us that love is much more often a decision - and sometimes a decision that is in direct conflict with our emotions. 

Foundational Scripture: Matthew 26:36-46, John 13:34, Hebrews 12:1-3 

Jesus' command seems pretty straight forward: to love one another as he has loved us. But in a culture where we love our families and we love our favorite tv shows, we need to take a moment to ask, what kind of love is Jesus talking about? 

Foundational Scripture: John 13; Luke 9

In a surprising outburst of anger, Jesus shows us what it really means that love always protects. 

Foundational Scripture: Mark 11:15-17; Isaiah 56; John 13:34

Jesus left his disciples with this command: “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” In this series we will take a closer look at several major events from the life and ministry of Jesus and ask, “how has he loved us?” What does it say about God’s love that he would choose to send his Son to earth as a vulnerable newborn baby?

Foundational Scripture: John 13:34, Luke 2

As we conclude this series we turn the issue of “enoughness” toward ourselves and consider the question, “Am I enough?” What are the questions behind that question, and how does God respond when we bring those questions to Him?

Exodus 3-4, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, Isaiah 54:10

We live in bigger houses than ever. We fill our closets and basements and attics. We fill our garages and then offsite storage units to capacity. When it comes to stuff, when is enough enough?

Foundational Scripture: Luke 12:13-34

When it comes to our finances it is so easy to buy into the mindset that if we just had a little bit more we would have enough. The type of relationship we have with money will determine whether or not we ever experience the peace of mind and satisfaction of having "enough." 

Foundational Scripture: Ecclesiastes 5:10; Proverbs 3:9-10

Jess begins a new series exploring our constant quest for "enough." Whether it's time, money, the latest upgrade or even ourselves we are so prone to believing that if we just had a little bit more then we'd have enough. In this first episode we'll examine how we think about and use our time and consider some practical ways that we can reframe our thinking to gain a heart of contentment and make the most of the time we've been given. 

Foundational Scripture: Philippians 4:12-13; Ecclesiastes 7:2; Psalm 90:12

As we conclude this series, Wounded Healer, Jess interviews author and speaker Aubrey Sampson on the topic of shame. In her book, Overcomer, Aubrey helps readers dismantle the lies of shame and rebuild their identities in Christ. Through both her personal experiences and her profound insights, Aubrey offers hope both to listeners who have long suffered under the weight of shame and to those who are just discovering shame’s influence on their lives.

Foundational Scripture: Psalm 34:5
