How do we learn to obey God? Is obedience a matter of faith, or is it more about feeling than choice? When Mary is told that she will bear a son and name him Jesus, she is faced with these same questions. Her response can help shape how we bring ourselves to God. This week, we explore the pattern of obedience born out of faith.

There is a lot of talk about kings lately. Do we have one? Should we get one? Are public office holders sent by God? Should there be no king at all? Our world is filled with opinions on the subject of kings, government, and authority. The Bible tells us an interesting story about kings. For followers of Jesus, we confess that there is really only one true King. He alone demands our allegiance and love and has a name above every name. This week, we explore why kings matter, especially in this confusing age.

We prefer clarity in our lives, but when circumstances remain uncertain, do we rely on faithful planning, or do we simply "let go and let God"? The tension between holding on and letting go is a familiar struggle in the Christian walk. This message explores the possibility that it is not an either-or choice, but rather a practice of faithfully navigating the tension between both.

We struggle to live in the gray areas of life. Hard choices are hard for a reason. Sometimes a choice will present itself as a black-and-white decision. Other times, a choice has many options of good or bad. How do we hold our faith when we are faced with tough choices? Perhaps we might learn a lesson from a woman of courage from over 3,000 years ago.

Faith is far more than mere religious tradition; it is a deliberate choice to anchor ourselves in God, especially when we face life's greatest challenges. True faith often feels most critical in moments when it seems to make the least difference, requiring profound courage and inner strength to sustain. Join us as we explore the story of Moses’ birth and discover how we can cultivate this kind of courageous faith in our own lives.

We all know that people come and people go. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be stewards of God's gifts and to share them with people who are coming and going in our midst. It is especially true when we wonder about how we will pass on our faith to the next generation. This week we explore exactly how to do that.

We have all heard the empty platitudes about things being darkest before the dawn. When people are in a place of hopelessness, these platitudes offer little comfort and, worse yet, are just bad theology. Sometimes our faith is built upon how we lean into hopelessness. Like so many Psalms, we discover our faith in Christ when we admit how hopeless things really are.

Life is filled with one new season after another. How do we adapt when the ground beneath our feet begins to shift? What does faith in God look like when there is a new season right in front of us? This week's episode explores how Abram had faith in time like that.

What does it really mean to be a community? Relationships are key, but so are other things. Unity, vision, and grace are also part of what makes a community work. This week we explore how healthy, vital communities function best when they proclaim God's good news and make disciples.

When folks think of being a Christian, we are used to hearing terms like "believer" or “follower." Those titles are certainly true! One of the most essential titles for Christians is "children", namely children of God. This week explore the importance and the requirements of being a child of God. Promises will abound!
