We are launching into a series based on the classic book We Would See Jesus. This is a powerful book that many return to time and time again to be reminded of the true nature of the Gospel and the God who calls us to Himself. In this week's message, we discover the true purpose of life as we return to humanity's original purpose when God first formed them in the Garden.

For Matthew the Christmas story wasn't just about what God was doing, but how He was doing it. A focus on the works of God points us to the "what," while a focus on the "how" demonstrates the ways of God and points us to His heart. Join us this week as we explore the heart of God in the Christmas story.

Shepherds and angels, Mary and Joseph, and the Messiah in swaddling cloths. Join us this week as a dear friend walks us through the Christmas story according to Luke with personal reflections and insights on the season.

When Christmas time rolls around, we tend to turn to the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. The stories of the angel and Mary, the angels and the shepherds, the visit of the wise men. But how does John tell the Christmas story?

Paul prayed regularly for those he shepherded, but how often do we think about what he prayed for them? In this week's message, we take a look at one of Paul's prayers for the early believers and discover what we can glean from it. This episode is a mix of teaching and discussion.

If this life is perplexing to you at times, you are in good company. One of the wisest men who ever lived penned an entire biblical book looking back on the big questions of life. In this week's message, we join him in his questions and try to make sense of the seasons that come our way.

Fighting for relationship is a core value of our community. It means a couple of things: First, we must fight to be in relationship with others given the fast-paced world in which we live. Second, we must fight to maintain healthy relationships. Why? Because relationships are hard. Because people can be hard. This week, we equip you with five tools you can use to fight for and maintain healthy community and relationships.

Hypocrite. It's a strong word. One that Jesus typically reserved for the religious elite of His day. But today He directs it at us. He calls us out. And that should get our attention! Thankfully, Jesus not only diagnoses our condition; He also hands us a prescription. Quite literally. Taking this one to heart will preserve unity in the body and keep us from becoming those who shut the kingdom in people's faces.

Special Guest: John DelHousaye of Arizona Christian University. Stress and anxiety are at all-time highs in our world as the effects of media and social media continue to unfold and social, political, and economic uncertainties continue to rise. In this week's passage in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus issues an invitation to disciples everywhere facing uncertainties of every stripe. It is an invitation to change our perspective as we change our perceptions, seeing the world and the Father with the clarity with which Jesus Himself sees them.

The Sermon on the Mount covers significant territory. At some points, we find ourselves nodding in agreement. At others, we find ourselves scratching our heads or even inwardly protesting at what Jesus asks of us. Today's passage falls into that latter category for most of us as we explore God's view of earthly possessions and eternal treasure.
