Our God is the God who goes into the mess and rescues people and sets them free. This story happened and it happens all the time.

There is transformative power in the story of Easter! Even when it feels like the pieces aren’t adding up, we can trust that God is working for redemption, renewal, and fullness of life! Join us this Easter as we celebrate the risen King who has come to make all things new.  Allow hope to bloom this Easter! 

What spills out when we get bumped? Palm Sunday gives us insight into the tension between encountering Jesus as a part of The Crowd and Following Jesus daily. The difference between seeking Jesus with our agenda or surrendering ourselves to his Lordship. The importance of integrating our exterior life with our interior life. May we recognize our need for a savior, without any agenda, as we wave our palm branches and shout, "Hosanna!"

Oftentimes we feel like we have no control over our thought life and the toxic and destructive thoughts that linger beneath the surface. While we may not have control over every thought that pops in our head, the Bible tells us we can take thoughts captive and CHOOSE what ideas and thoughts we dwell on. 

Anxiety is our built-in "check engine" light, alerting us to trouble or danger. However, many times it goes into overdrive and begins to consume and overwhelm us. How can we trust God when anxiety threatens to control us? Join Pastor David as he discusses what the Lord has to say about anxiety and how we can find victory in this area of our lives. 

We all live with a certain level of grief beneath the surface of what we show others. Pastor Gina shares how God wants to comfort us in our distress and help us navigate grief. Unresolved grief can lead to many other areas of pain and unhealth, so learning how to share and let God into our grief is key to living the full life he wants for us. 

Why do we get so angry? Usually our anger is a symptom of something that's simmering a little deeper than the surface: hurt, injustice, fear, frustration. Not all anger is equal...as Ephesians tells us we CAN be angry and still stay away from sin. But how? Join us as we learn to surrender our anger so it can be used as fuel for trust, wisdom, and even righteousness.

We find it counterintuitive to draw near to God, remove our masks and stop pretending that everything is OK. It is easier to ignore our interior life and just move on. Or we might let our emotions and our sin control us rather than trying to understand them. But God wants us to integrate what's beneath the surface into His grace and process and own it all. He wants us to invite Him in to search all of us.
