We've all failed and the reality is that our failures can be paralyzing. How can we possibly move forward after the mistakes that we have made? Today, Pastor Nick shares a message about reconciliation and how to move past the things we have done. Our failure doesn't have to be final. Check out this message to learn how to Fail Forward.

"Why do I keep giving into this over and over? HOW can I overcome this temptation? Will I EVER overcome it?" When is the last time you found yourself asking these questions? The truth is, we're all tempted by things in our lives that, if given into, could lead us towards destruction. Today, Aaron Justice teaches from the story of Joseph about how to overcome temptation. In Genesis, Joseph provides the blueprint for how to combat the cycle of temptation with two steps. First, we have to recognize and run from the things that tempt us. Then, we need to find accountability as we fight for victory over these temptations. Watch this message to learn truth about overcoming temptation.

Has it ever felt like you're wrestling with God? Today, Billy Starkey walks us through the story of Jacob from Genesis 32. Sometimes in order to receive God's blessings in our lives, we first have to let him break the parts that are holding us back from experiencing the best that He has for us. God broke Jacob, called him by a new name, and blessed him and his family for generations. Yet, Jacob didn't just let God break him; he allowed his brokenness to be a testimony of God's glory, and God wants to do the same thing in and through us. Is there something in your life that you need to let God break in order to receive the best that He has for you? Watch this message to see how BROKENNESS leads to BLESSING.

When was the last time you faced a situation that seemed impossible? Maybe you're currently walking through a season where the resolution is nowhere in sight. The good news is that God is the God of the impossible. Pastor Bob Fetterhoff talks from Genesis 12 about the story of Abraham and how he had FAITH, trusting in God time and time again. His faith in God, the God of the impossible, delivered him when things seemed impossible. Watch this message to see how we too can have a faith like Abraham's.

Genesis tells us the story of Noah. Many of us probably know this story from when we were kids, however, this story may hold different a meaning in our lives now than it did when we were younger. Today, Billy Starkey shares a message about Noah and how his life is a model of faith for us to follow because he wasn't afraid to stand out as different. Noah's life shows us what it looks like to stand out even if we're standing alone, it reminds us to walk with God where He calls us to go and to obey God even if we may not know the outcome.

What am I here on this earth for? What's my purpose for being here? Do I even HAVE a purpose? These are all questions that many of us have asked ourselves at one time or another. Maybe you're even asking yourself those questions right now. Here's some good news: You HAVE purpose because you were created ON purpose. This week Pastor Nick leads us in a message from Genesis, the very beginning of our story, which tells us HOW we were created, and better yet, WHO we were created by.We are all made in the image of God, and because of that, we can live WITH purpose, knowing that we were created ON purpose.

When someone offends us, it's not always easy to forgive them. It's far easier to be offended. Yet holding onto unforgiveness is no way to live. Watch as Pastor Nick shares from a parable in Matthew 18 about forgiving others. This message reminds us that forgiven people forgive people, and when we forgive others that have offended us, we can escape the prison of our own unforgiveness.

When was the last time you were wrong? How about this, when was the last time you ADMITTED you were wrong? It's natural to want to argue our "rightness," but maybe we aren't always as right as we think we are. Watch as Pastor Nick leads us through a parable from Luke 18 about how to humbly admit when we're wrong.

We all get offended. How you react in that moment will say a lot about you. Today, Dan Owolabi shared about dealing with "those people" while praying to God that we would not respond in anger, but instead stay above the line.

We all get offended at times, and when we are offended we usually get angry. That anger can lead to decisions that we later regret. This week we join Pastor Nick as he talks about how being offended affects us and how God wants us to handle that.
