Where's the Love in Marriage

There are so many cultural myths about marriage. Today’s culture has greater idealism than ever before about what we want from marriage, and greater pessimism about marriage, resulting in people marrying later and fewer people marrying. In this message we deal with the research, challenging the myths so many believe about marriage (whether married or not), and showing how the Bible leads us to the best of what we long for in marriage.

Where's the Love in Outrage

In a culture of outrage, where's the love? Today we look at the power of anger for good and for bad, helping us course correct to greater health in our relationships. Anger is love in motion. But what we love corrupts our anger with harmful effects, or empowers our anger to make a loving difference.

With all the polarization and junk going on in friendships, relationships, politics, our nation, Where's the love? In this hope-filled, solution oriented message, we explore why it is so hard to love and how practical steps of love can heal the divides.

Jesus is the Resurrection. Every small moment of our lives when we seek to glorify him brings resurrection power.

No Shortcuts to Transformation

In Jesus third temptation, Satan tempts him to do something "just this once." Jesus shows us that "just this once" almost always increases temptation turning it into "just one more time." In this message we examine what really motivates self-control as we lean on the Holy Spirit.

No Shortcuts to Truth and Grace

Jesus is tempted to do something stupid in Satan's second temptation in the wilderness. But underneath that is something we are all tempted to do that undermines our ability to walk into the full beauty of the truth and grace God wants us to experience.

No shortcuts to Truly Abundant Living

Overcoming temptation and difficulty, allowing the resistance to truly make you strong, starts in being committed to the truth. If God is really the creator of all that exists, that means we need to learn to trust Scripture as reliable truth, even when we don't understand it or when it is troubling, otherwise we will never find the truly abundant life God is inviting us to live.

Freedom. We can chant the word or live the word. But even better than living the word freedom is being a part of bringing freedom to others, like Jesus did.

No shortcuts to Abundant Life

We all know that the best things in life don't come with shortcuts, but we still tend to get them with shortcuts. A powerful story of Jesus helps us see how to find abundant life without shortcuts.
