When you think of the presence of the Lord, what comes to mind?  A feeling during worship, time in devotions, or perhaps praying while driving in the car?  What if we shifted our perspective of the Lord’s presence to the hard conversations, to grief, and to the places of struggle? This week Pastor Jess shares in our new sermon series, Workplace Wonders just how near the Lord is; how we bear His name, are made in His image, and bring His presence with us everywhere we go. A reminder that the  Lord is always with us—we do not create an atmosphere for Him to occupy but rather an atmosphere for us to focus on His presence.  Listen here as we pray for continued awareness and focus.

Have you ever felt disqualified to be used by God? Maybe you’ve thought that to be used by God you have to be awesome, amazing, the best, the smartest, the skinniest, but hear this—God looks for people who are looking to and for Him. This week Pastor Jerushah Tanner shares from the story of Gideon in her sermon, Look Again, where she reminds us how the days of feeling on hold or hesitant are the days God is using to refine and prepare us for His victory. Tune in this week for an encouraging word as we enter our Still Starving season together!

Where’s your identity? Maybe you’ve found yourself rooting yourself in work, your finances, your appearance or even in others. This week Pastor Jess shares in his sermon, Behold I Make how our one true identity relies on the Lord; that Jesus is the only satisfaction to our desires. As we enter our fasting season we are reminded that to be spiritually formed by the Lord is to just be with the Lord. Tune in here to listen!

Feel like you’ve strayed too far from the Lord? This week Pastor Jess continues in our series, Wrapped– The Incarnation by sharing about how the Lord has wrapped Himself in humanity while wrapping us in divinity. In humanity, the Lord understands and sees us not only because He can, but because He wants to. In divinity we are given direct access to Him when we cry out and He answers. Maybe you have felt that you’ve strayed off the path– hear this, the Lord chases you down with His goodness and mercy. Tune in here to listen!

How’s your grasp on Jesus? This week Pastor Dave speaks in his sermon, The Gift of the Incarnation by sharing about the true gift– Jesus. He encourages us to remember that while Jesus is fully God, He is also fully human; He wraps himself in humanity while wrapping us in divinity. When we face trials in our health, in our finances, or relationships Jesus being Lord of all, is wonderful, but what is so gracious is that He understands what those trials we face, is like– He is a God who understands. Tune in here as we continue journeying through our advent season.

“This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine ... let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” Maybe you remember this melody from Sunday school or maybe this is the first time you’re reading it—regardless, let the Lord’s light shine. This week we kick off our new series, Wrapped–The Incarnation with three leaders of the house sharing about being wrapped in the Lord’s light. With different perspectives, working in tandem together, they deliver a message that may be exactly what you need to hear. Maybe you’ve found yourself trying to let your own light shine, soaking up artificial light, or shining without fully recharging. In other words, maybe you’ve found yourself seeking the things of this world to be your recharge, but remember the Lord is our one and only source. Press play and hear this encouraging word!

When you need rest, where do you turn? Do you turn to God or do you maybe find yourself turning to materialistic measures? This week Pastor Jess shares the importance of finding rest in the Lord; in His presence, at His table, and in knowing that He provides all our physical and spiritual needs, all we need to do is turn to the Lord. He describes how consecrating our hearts to the Lord leads to a life that is willing and full-heartedly aligned with Christ—that the Lord would receive how we give and receive, far greater than what we give. As we near the close of this series, our prayer would be that we would walk through life with a heart that is dedicated to Jesus and that is whole-heartedly willing and allegiant to Christ. Listen here!

What’s the difference between a tithe, an offering, and a first fruit? This week Pastor Ben shares how each of these forms of worship work in tandem with one another to birth fruitfulness in our lives. In his sermon, The First of Our Giving, he explains where and how we spend our money shows where we put our allegiance. Maybe you’re in a season of lack or a drought and the thought of giving feels heavy? Know that God may be priming you to enter a season of fruitfulness– it could be in the form of money, but what you’ll experience is the gracious hand of God in every area of your life; you’re in a good spot. Press play as we continue to pray that God would shift our allegiance to His and allow for His providence and financial provision as He sees fit. 

How’s your generosity? You might’ve heard the familiar verse, “God loves a cheerful giver,” but have you embodied the grace and the righteousness of the giver? You may find yourself eager to give or holding back reluctantly, but hear this: the grace of God is on your life to live generously. This week Pastor Jess continues our series, Sent: Until There is No More Need, by sharing how God wants to embody grace and righteousness in us in a spirit of generosity through relationship. He shares how when God is living in us deeply, He begins to restore all our relationships with Him and one another. Listen here as you go to prayer and ask God to embody grace and righteousness in and through your generosity. 

Have you ever thought that a prosperous life could be a dangerous one? Maybe you’ve found yourself relying on your family, your finances or even your feelings for a source of power and guidance, when our one true source comes from the Lord. This week guest pastor Mike Servello shares on the wisdom of God and the foolishness of riches. Rather than taking matters into our own hands, God deals with it with absolute precision and accuracy– God’s way is higher and bigger than us, all we have to do is put our trust in Him. Tune in here as we pray for the continued strength and perspective to live in His wisdom and not be fools of prosperity.
