What are you expecting God to do? Are you even expecting anything? The reality is, God is making decisions every day on a level that we could never understand, so His actions will always be unexpected to us. We can be confident He will fight for us, that He will protect us, and that He'll otherwise act as He says He will act. But we can't expect Him to always do things the way we would expect ourselves or our friends to. He's God after all.

God never promised we wouldn't have trouble. What He did promise is that He would be with us in it. Not removing the problems, but bringing meaning to them. What do the story of Jesus calming the storm, Genesis 1, and Revelation show us about God and chaos? That He makes beauty right in the middle of it.

Life feels like a few big highlights that chart the main course we follow with a bunch of little moments in-between. But that's not what the Bible teaches. The truth is, the little decisions we make every day have more influence than we could ever imagine. What would life be like if we gave all those moments to Jesus?

Some questions are heavier than others. And throughout the history of the American church, there hasn't been a ton of talk about suicide.

So what do we do with this heavy topic in a world where anxiety and depression have a hold on so many people? This message from Jon Hartman seeks to dive into the Bible's approach to suicide, what God thinks, and how we should respond.

When you're feeling down, for lots of people, the Bible is not the first place to turn. And that's a shame, because it has so much to say about sadness, depression, and feeling low. This week, Ty Hirsch breaks down where to go in the Bible when we're feeling sad, so that when we have our down days, we can see where to run to find Jesus in the darkness.

What does the Bible say about our relationships? How do we navigate them? What does that look like? The Bible is full of wisdom and sound teaching on relationships, first and foremost our relationship with God. In fact, the story of the entire Bible is how God is rebuilding our relationships with Him. This week, Jon Hartman dives into what the Bible says about interacting with others, in all kinds of situations.

How do you have a conversation with someone who doesn't believe in Christianity without letting it get ugly? It seems like not many Christians know how, and as a result, it's led to many people seeing us as judgmental and mean. However, in 1st Peter 3, there's another way to do it that shows care, love, and concern.

What does the Bible have to say about anxiety? Turns out - a lot! This week, Ignite HSM Pastor Jon Hartman and Small Groups Pastor Justin Allison discuss anxiety, the Bible, and where it all fits together.

How do we sift through all the various claims that other people make about God? How do we know if they're right or wrong? This message offers a step-by-step plan from 1st John 4 on exactly how to do that.
