Most of us feel grateful. But if others don’t know we are grateful, we communicate ingratitude, and it damages relationships. An attitude of gratitude isn’t enough. We need to express it.

Anxiety is at an all-time high in most spots in the world. With more convenience and affluence than ever before, we also have higher levels of stress. Our faith really can make a difference. 

All of us have blindspots. Areas of our lives that we don’t see that could cause problems for us in the future. In order to do the work on these faults, we need to be open to God’s loving (and convicting) Word.

Paul uses his final words to give us one final command. What is it, and how should we live it out? In the final week of the Mic Drop sermon series, we explore the implications of this final command for our lives.

The world around us impacts us immensely. If we are unaware of it, we are surely squeezed into a mould we may not like. So rather than being slowly influenced by forces around us, we are invited to be the ones who influence our world. But it takes dedication and discernment to pull it off.

This is a continuation of our panel talk hosted in September 2022 on questions about church. We sit down with Tim Latour and tackle questions about church hopping, online church, and leaving a church.

Endurance is hard. But a lack of endurance will make life even harder. Paul cheers on his protégé Timothy by inspiring him to dig deep and develop spiritual grit.

We’ve all had seasons of spiritual slippage… times when our faith seems vulnerable and could use a boost. Paul tells his protégé Timothy to “fan the flame” as a remedy for a despondent faith.

In our information-saturated age, there are good reasons to get lost in wonder and there are real benefits to our spiritual life when we do.

Kindness is a powerful tool that can truly change the world. Through an act of kindness Rahab the prostitute was able to save the lives of two spies and her whole family. Her act of kindness changed the trajectory of not only her life, but the life of anyone who calls themself a Jesus follower, since her kindness led to the birth of Jesus. Kindness has the power to change the world because kindness changes our eternity. It is the kindness of God that leads to our repentance and our kindness towards others makes the earth look more like Heaven.
