What in your life is too powerful for you to overcome? Jesus once made a perilous trip to encounter a man living in the graveyard with super-human strength that no one could tame. Yet Jesus, the Master and Commander, took authority over the legion of demonic forces that filled the unclean man, and he set him free. The response of the on-lookers was not all positive, but this guy could not stop telling everyone the life-transforming things Jesus had done for him—things only Jesus can do. And he wants to overcome your darkest challenges too.

What anxiety-producing situation is going on inside you right now? Would you like to have peace in place of your fears? Jesus gave his disciples a lesson in trusting God in the midst of life's storms even as he slept through the very situation that had them terrified. What matters is knowing who it is that's in your boat.

How do you handle it when someone close to you dies? Jesus experienced this firsthand when his friend Lazarus died, and he wept. Then he did the unthinkable—he raised the dead man back to life. This story is for those who have to live with death. Jesus promises to raise us all in the end, and in the meantime he “is the Resurrection and the Life” with us to bring new life to those suffering ultimate loss.

As Jesus was preparing his closest friends for his departure from them, he made the statement , "I am the true vine..." Many times the takeaway from this passage is that we need to be sure to read our bibles and pray. While that is correct, it seems Jesus was saying something deeper than that. Join us for week five of our "I Am" series.

In John 10, Jesus says, "I am the Good Shepherd". Truthfully, that statement made more sense to his original audience than it does to most of us today. Join us as we discover the surprising message he was delivering then and now.

In our second week of the "I AM" series, Jesus says to a crowd, " I am the bread of life..." What did he mean by that? Join us as we explore the difference between pursuing fullness versus pursuing satisfaction. Jesus' words were challenging then and are sure to challenge us now.

Have you ever been transported to a different time and place when a certain song plays on the radio? The first notes hit and you are not longer in your car, but back in 5th grade listening to a mix tape with your friend in their room? The song is an echo of the past that reaches into the present. A similar thing happened when Jesus began saying things like, I am the bread of life, I am the true vine, I am the resurrection and the life. The words "I am" took his original audience 1400 years into the past and into the story of Moses. Join us these next few weeks as we see how these "I am" statements speak of who God is, but also what claims they make on our lives.

Dads! Thank you for loving us with a sacrificial love, thank you for leading us by your example, and thank you for answering the deepest questions in our hearts. We wouldn't be the same without you.

What would Jesus’ kids be like if he had a family? Actually we are God’s children, and God has chosen us to be in His family. Confirmation is the rite of passage whereby those who have been baptized say ‘Yes’ to joining the family of faith.

Have you ever lost track of a child? Did it last for more than a few minutes? Can you imagine losing God's son for five days? We hope you will be inspired as we look at the only story we have from Jesus' childhood in Luke Chapter 2.
