In this message, we will continue our 'Things Dad Taught Me' sermon series. We will be diving into timeless wisdom for everyday life regarding speech, because in a world full of noise, learning to use our words well can change everything.

Check out this special Father's Day message from Colin's own dad, Brian McCracken.

Family can be one of the greatest joys in life, and simultaneously, one of the greatest sources of heartache. How could something hold so much potential for both good and ill? More importantly, how can we make sure we are building a family that experiences more of the blessings than the burdens? 

We all need a good advice once in a while. Many of us have turned to parents in search of that wisdom. In our new series, “Things Dad Taught Me,” we will be looking at the book of Proverbs, a collection of wisdom saying handed down from a father to his Son, and learning how that ancient wisdom still holds up for our modern lives today.  

Sometimes life is hard. We go through painful seasons that seem like they will never end. Our weary spirits long for rest. Often times we find strength and encouragement when we look back on God’s past actions and consistency. He has proved faithful before, so we can trust he will be faithful today.  

We are often encouraged to seek out more, achieve more, or to acquire more. Sometimes, though, the pursuit of more leaves us weary. All the while, God offers us something that is enough, and here we find rest.

The hustle and bustle of life often leaves us tired. We need rest. Beyond physical recuperation, though, we require rest for our spirit. Join us this Sunday as we begin a new sermon series called, “Rest/Refresh,” in which we will explore this deep, soulful rest, and how we find it.

Through the Psalms, we find rest and refreshment through worshiping God as these ancient words help align our hearts and minds with Him. Join us this Sunday as we kick off a new sermon series called, “Rest/Refresh” 

Sometimes we don’t recognize the importance of a moment until it has passed us by. However, through the act of remembering and reflecting, hindsight can bless us with understanding of God’s work throughout our story.

When life hurts most, the resurrection reminds us that the story doesn't have to b over. His victory over the grave reminds us that, even in hopeless moments, God can still reach into the story and work holy out of the hard.
