How do you handle past pain? Have you been able to see God's hand in it? If we can't change our perspective on pain, we will end up bitter, but if we allow Him to help us get our hearts right, God can do amazing things with our pain. His favor follows forgiveness, and it's through forgiveness that He heals our deepest wounds.

Sunday, November 3, 2024 Message: Rebel Heart (Rebelling Against Unforgiveness) by Tim Ingram

"For such a time as this." Ever heard this phrase? The biblical story of Esther is a call to rebel against self-preservation and embrace where God's positioned you. When we decide to risk it all for God's Kingdom, we discover that real purpose isn't found in what we have, but in what we're willing to lay down.

Shame and guilt. They weigh us down, and our world is riddled with their effects. How does Jesus handle our mess-ups? What does it mean to be truly forgiven? Pastor Brady Boyd explores Jesus' encounter with the woman caught in adultery and how He offers us a fresh start and freedom from shame.

Sunday, October 20, 2024 Message: The Woman Caught in Adultery by Brady Boyd

"Christians are called to set the culture, not reflect the culture." What can you do when the culture surrounding you wants to reshape what's inside of you? How can we take a stand against the things that try to seal our hearts away from God?

Anger gets a pretty bad wrap, but did you know that even Jesus got angry on occasion? Is there such a thing as "righteous anger?" What's the best way to handle it when it comes? By observing Jesus' actions, we can learn how rebel against destructive patterns and keep anger in its proper place.

Sometimes we have to defy norms in order to obey God. What does biblical defiance look like? Can we rebel and still keep our integrity, character, and excellence intact? How can we rebel against the apathy that comes so easily to us and go all in for God?

"People love a transactional god, but reject a relational one." Ever heard of consumer Christianity? In a culture of the entitled "give me more" attitude, God is calling us to revolt against the tendency to treat Him like a slot machine and make the choice to trust and obey instead. Will you choose the path of the rebel?
