Christians aren't supposed to be depressed or anxious, right? They're just supposed to always have peace and joy. But what if that's not my reality? Can I still be a good Christian and struggle with depression? Can I still consider myself to have faith while at the same time struggle with worry? Dr. Karl Wendt shares some special insights that will help us debunk some myths about depression and anxiety and will help us deal with these real struggles.

Events over the last year, especially being on lockdown and having to socially distance, have put a spotlight on some struggles many of us are having with certain relationships. Marriage strains, parenting issues, and resentment with certain friendships seem to be on the rise in our communities. It's a real struggle, and yet it's something many of us have a hard time being honest about or seeking help with. What do I do when I'm struggling with my relationships?

February 11, 2021 // Peter says that one of the key INGREDIENTS to add to our spiritual walk is GOODNESS. But what does it mean to be "good"? How do I know if I'm being "good" enough? Is there a cap or a limit to how good I'm supposed to be? // Join Marshall and Scotty as they talk about how Jesus models goodness for us and then calls us to embody goodness in our own lives.

While physical ailments can become overwhelming burdens, emotional struggles can be just as unbearable, if not more so. Over the last year we've seen mental health issues like depressions, anxiety, and loneliness steadily increase in our community. Let's take an honest look at some of the motional struggles many of  us have in common and discover together how our God can heal and our church family can help relieve some of these burdens. _______________________ 00:00  Welcome / Prayer 03:04  “Heaven Is in My Heart” 04:17  “Great Is the Lord Almighty” 06:30  “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)” 11:24  Communion 14:04  “You Never Let Go” 17:20  Sermon 59:54  “Break My Heart” 1:02:35  Closing Comments / Prayer 1:06:12  “This Is How We Overcome”

February 4, 2021 // When Peter talks about faith being a KEY INGREDIENT to a good life in 2 Peter 1:3, believe us when we say he KNOWS what he's talking about. From the king of "faith-failure" himself, Peter had his share of struggles with taking small steps of faith OR displaying no faith at all. But after years of walking with our savior and practicing faith, Peter reminds us here in 2 Peter 1:3 that faith is a key ingredient in the best life possible. // Join Marshall and Brandon as we learn to keep our eyes on Jesus as we learn to walk in faith through this life.

If I've given my life to Jesus, then I've been rescued from sin and death. But that's really only part of my story. I may have also experienced healing, a better marriage, or more meaning purpose to my life because of my connection with God. And the key thing is, all of us who are Christians have a story to tell. But sharing my story may not be very easy for me to do. But what if I did? What if I shared with someone else my story of what God has done in my life? Would it really make a difference? ________________________ Welcome / Prayer “Days of Elijah” “Salvation Belongs to Our God” “Living Hope” Communion “One Thing Remains” Sermon “How Can I Keep From Singing” Closing Comments / Prayer “This Is Amazing Grace”

//Apologies for the late start with this video - technical issues with our stream.  When there is something I feel like I need or something I'm struggling with, Christina people will often, with the best of intentions, tell me to "just pray about it." Sometimes that feels like a church cliché. Sometimes it feels like prayer isn't enough. But what if I did choose to pray? What if I prayed like I believed something would actually happen?  What if...? ______________ Welcome / Prayer “I Will Call Upon the Lord” 00:00  “Only King Forever” 02:08  “Shield About Me” 05:16  Communion 10:14  “Good, Good Father” 13:42  Sermon 54:44  “Still” 57:05  Closing Comments / Prayer 59:38  “Give Thanks to the Lord”

// Unscripted is switching gears and focusing in on a NEW topic that will bring us through the next couple of months: The Ingredients for a Good Life (2 Peter 1:3-9). Written at the end of his earthly life, Peter has a LONG list of things that he wants other followers of Christ to hold on to to have the FULLEST life possible. 

// Join us tonight as we dive into the realizations that God has indeed already given us everything we need to have life, and have it to the full.
