How many people have misguided expectations about God, the Church, even themselves? It is easy to grow blind to what God is doing in the world and in our lives. John the Baptist second-guessed himself while in prison as he wondered whether Jesus truly was the expected Messiah. Jesus opens his eyes with an unexpected response to his question, and he can do the same for those stuck expecting the wrong things in life.

Alarm Clocks! Many of us have a love/hate relationship with them. Join us as we look at Matthew 3:1-12 and see how God used John the Baptist to rouse the slumbering people of God.

Advent is a time of hopeful anticipation; a time of preparing our hearts for both the arrival of the Christ child and the day when Christ will return and establish his Kingdom once and for all. Join us as we look at Matthew 24 and are reminded to watch out for the day of his return.

After the worst presidential campaign perhaps in our nation’s history Americans were stunned with how things turned out. Protests have broken out, anxiety runs rampant and people are fearful. Where do we go from here? Does the Church have guidance for how we rise above the hate and lead in loving our neighbors in a deeply divided time and nation? We have our work cut out for us. Let us shine in this hour as the Light of the World as Jesus is sending us.

If life was a race - We'd all want to win, wouldn't we? Though what if getting first place was never really the point? What if, in God's Kingdom, third place wins the race?

When it comes to this election season in the USA, can anyone disagree it has been one big election circus?! Who do you vote for when the candidates behave worse than playground bullies we teach our kids to steer clear of? It is time for the Church to take these matters seriously if we are to align with God’s greater purposes, for the world, the media, the major political parties and even the candidates are playing games like the soldiers gambling for Jesus’ clothes when something sacred is before them. In this message Pastor Rick uncovers some biblical guidelines for voting your conscience this year as a Church called to be Salt and Light in a dark world.

We all have certain things we take seriously. It could be our work, parenting, diet, exercise, or a myriad of other things. Join us as we take a look at Joshua 24 as we are challenged to take seriously the things of faith.

Guest Speaker David McIntyre is a former missionary and winner of Season 2 of History Channel’s Alone Series. Join us as he wraps up our Unalone Series with his message on suffering.

Offering hospitality is not simply opening your home to others. It IS that. But much more! We’re talking about opening your LIFE—that’s not an hour-and-a-half every Weds night! Think about all the things that make up your life. What if you viewed these as opportunities to connect with others & connect with God together. That’s a heart that says, “Yes, there’s room in my life for YOU!”

Everyone is seeking answers to the question of suffering, but God has something far more valuable to reveal as we face the mystery of evil. We, the Church, alleviate the suffering of others in two powerful ways. And it requires we not try this on our own, but in community.
