We were not created to be alone. God designed us to journey through life together. We need friends to help us, and we need friends to help. The early church met together in large groups and small groups, which is the model God gave us.

On any given day, if you read the paper or watch the news on TV, you’ll be reminded of the existence of evil.  Considering all the evil in the world, you might wonder if God really cares about us.

Standard of Living is not the same as Quality of Life. Creating breathing room financially may lower your standard of living but it will raise your quality of life.

In our attempts to get the most out of life, we lose control of our lives. Marginless living eventually takes its toll—relationally, financially, 
emotionally, and spiritually. Somewhere, there is a breaking point—a limit. Your time is limited, which means you need to limit what you do with your time.

If you keep adding to your schedule, budget and relationships, eventually you’ll reach the breaking point. Life is better with Breathing Room.

Don’t you hate it when things don’t turn out the way you expected? In this message we look the story of Jesus’ resurrection, where things don’t turn out the way his disciples expected.

Sometimes you find yourself going against the wind in life. You’re trying to get ahead and it seems like you’re getting nowhere. Or you’re in the middle of a difficult situation and you’re just stuck. What do you do? We look at a story where Jesus’ disciples get caught in a situation like that, and we talk about what do to about it.

The religious leaders in Jesus’ time were so focused on their rules and rituals that they missed their Messiah, who came to free them. Religion can prevent you from becoming all that God wants you to be.

In this story, Jesus takes something small and does something big with it. In the same way, God can use what you offer Him to do great things.

Sometimes we feel stuck and it seems like we can’t get out. Maybe you feel like you’ve had enough and you can’t go on. In this story Jesus encounters someone who is stuck, and we learn how to get unstuck and have a better life.
