What does it really mean to have “God with Us?” Does it change our day to day activities, the way we interact with family and friends, or how we handle difficult situations? Stu Quackenbush opens our two week mini-series Emmanuel, God with Us and invites us to consider the impact of Jesus’ birth on our whole lives. 

Have you ever been surprised and wished you knew what was coming, so you could have been better prepared? Steve Welch continues our series in Luke and reminds us that we alredy know how the story ends. While we wait for Jesus’ return, we have work to do!

What keeps you up at night? Are you worried about your future, your kids’ future, or maybe the state of the world? Dr. Don Denyes jumps back into our Luke Storytellers Series and helps us trade our worldly perspective for a heavenly one.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to slow down and reflect on God’s provision. Sounds good, right? Yet, if we were honest, how often do we believe that what we have or have accomplished, is because of OUR hard work? Do we truly give God the credit He deserves? Dr. Don Denyes takes us back in Scripture to 1 Chronicles to help us have a right view of true gratitude.

Do you sometimes find it hard to say you are sorry or admit when you are wrong? Humility is hard. Dr. Don Denyes opens the book of Philippians and encourages us as we strive to become more like Jesus.

Are you sad, frustrated, or overwhelmed with something in your life right now? Have you prayed about it? As Stu Quackenbush continues our Storytellers series in Luke, he invites us to bring our needs to God in prayer. Even if God chooses not to answer the way we hope, we will still be secure in our loving Father’s arms.

Who has hurt you? Who do you distrust? Are you at war with anyone in your heart? That person is your neighbor. As Stu Quackenbush explores the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’ll see one of the most radical calls on our lives as Christinas–we are to love even our enemies. Jesus loved first and we are to “do likewise.”

The pressures of life! As soon as you read that, what came to mind? Maybe you have one big thing that consumes you or maybe a long list of them that keeps you from engaging more fully in our mission to always make disciples. Ben Phebus continues our series in Luke and invites us to follow Jesus’ example to step away to pray and commune with God, so we can be refreshed and ready.

Life is about choices. One of the biggest ones we face each day requires us to decide if we will serve others or serve ourselves. Trent Heaton explores the next section in our Luke series and invites us to consider what it means to pick up our cross daily and follow Jesus.

When you are in need, who do you call–your parents, your best friend, or do you cry out to Jesus? How do you feel when someone sees your need and responds? As Stu Quackenbush continues our Storyteller series in Luke, he shares the story of Jesus’ miraculous provision, the impact His compassion had, and encourages us to follow Jesus’ example and show compassion to others.
