Love hurts. Is there hope for renewal after a relationship smash-up? How do you pick-up the pieces after a "Ground Zero" event like divorce?

In the book of Nehemiah, God highlights the healing and recovery process by which He rebuilds that which has been devastated... and instills hope in the brokenhearted.

Listen in as Pastor Tim shares God's words of hope for those ready to begin again.

Many folks believe that married sex inevitably goes flat once you log some miles on the odometer. But a sex life that "fizzles" is a red light flashing on your marital dashboard!

God does not intend married intimacy to shrivel up and flicker out-- but rather to deepen and burn hotter in intensity over time!

But that requires some work (as you might expect). How can married couples keep the "sizzle" in their sex life? Listen in as Pastor Tim opens up God's Word for a candid talk on sex & intimacy.

How do you find a date worth keeping? Does God have anything to do

with it? I mean, we all have our preferences ("Short, stocky male

seeks tall, Amazonian goddess"), but what are God's priorities when

seeking a spouse?

In this insightful message based on Genesis 24, Pastor Tim shares

God's design for godly relationships that go the distance.

95% of all popular songs are about a 4-letter word: L-O-V-E. So you’d

think there’d be more clarity on the subject! Single folks wonder

what to look for in a spouse and if there is such a thing as “true

love.” Married couples wonder how to keep love alive in a long-term

commitment. And folks who’ve experienced relational heartache wonder

if it’s worth ever opening their hearts to love again.

What’s the nature of true love? What makes for a relationship that

goes the distance?

Listen in as Pastor Tim explores the R&B of love— in the story of

Ruth and Boaz. Foreigner issues a challenge in their bighair anthem

“I Want to Know What Love Is”-- and God has answered with a clear

design for relational harmony in His Word.

Nobody likes to admit they need help. Especially in a hyper-independent Western culture that values individualism above all else. Yet, God has told us from the beginning "It is not good for man to be alone" (Gen 2:18).

To be sure, we were hardwired for community-- that's why connecting well with others is an innate desire of every human being. Is the Beatles' 1965 classic plea "Help! I Need Somebody" an admission of weakness? Or is it a statement of wisdom?

Listen in as Pastor Tim explores the lyrics of both the Beatles and Ecclesiastes in this timely message.

What's the difference between Religion and Spirituality?

Ask the average person on the street, and you'll notice the mere mention of the word "religion" sends people running-- conjuring images of narrow rules, hollow rituals, and joyless living.

Yet, many people consider themselves "spiritual" (whatever that means).

What's the difference between being religious and being spiritual? And would it be such a bad thing if Christians "lost their religion" as the R.E.M. pop hit invites us?

Maybe not. Listen in as Pastor Tim explores the difference between manmade Religion and authentic Spirituality in this eye-opening message.

"Heaven on earth," Bono sings, "we need it now." Is there any realistic hope for healing in this broken world in which we live?

Well, U2 apparently believes so. Faith, hope, and love play integral roles in their most classic anthems, and none moreso than “Where the Streets Have No Name”-- the lead song from their 1987 masterwork album “The Joshua Tree.” The lyric speaks of deliverance— of a transcendent place beyond earthbound space and time.

A place where the streets have no name... And perhaps are paved with gold?

It’s the Hope of Heaven believers and agnostics alike dream about.

Yet, is there more to heavenly hope than just the typical religious “pie-in-the-sky-when-you-die” stuff?

Is there any basis to hope for “heaven on earth” as Bono sang... And Jesus taught his followers to pray? (Matt. 6:10)

Absolutely, according to the incredible picture painted in the biblical book of Revelation. Heaven is crashing into earth as we speak— and the realities of God’s presence are closer than we think. Listen in as Pastor Tim explores U2’s inspired anthem and the apostle John’s apocalyptic vision to answer the question: “Heaven: Up There or Down Here?"

What's the secret of satisfaction? That's the profound question

raised by the Rolling Stones in their 1965 classic "(I Can't Get No)

Satisfaction." They spent the next 40 years pursuing fulfillment in

all the usual rock star ways-- acquiring riches, fame, and global

commercial success along the way.

Yet, you still get the sense Mick Jagger means it when he sings "But I

try... and I try... and I try... and I try... but I can't get No!

Satisfaction!"

What's the meaning of life? What's the source of lasting

satisfaction? The author of Ecclesiastes took a run at this age-old

question... and what he discovered might surprise you. In his

lifetime, King Solomon possessed power, intellect, unprecedented

affluence and wealth, and garnered worldwide fame and riches that

modern rock stars can only dream about.

Yet, in the end, he considered it all "meaningless... a chasing after

the wind" (Ecc. 2:11).

What's the point of life on earth? What gives meaning to our

day-to-day lives?

Listen in as Pastor Tim explores the Stones' modern classic and

Solomon's ancient text to answer the question: "What's the secret of

true satisfaction?"
