Week 2 of our relationship series discusses what the Bible has to say about the differences between men and women. We were designed to complement each other, not to compete with each other. Healthy relationships begin with knowing our Creator, and celebrating the unique ways He made us.

Pastor Shawn Johnson kicks off our relationship series, reminding us that in order to have healthy relationships in our life we have to start by examining our personal relationship with God. When we find our identity in Him, we are equipped to love others.

Pastor Jill Johnson preaches a message out of the book of Revelation about what to do when God asks us to wait. We can have confidence in confusion because Jesus was, is, and is to come and He will lead us when we choose to passionately, and patiently wait on Him.

If you ever think "there has to be more to life," if you struggle with shame, addiction, depression, passivity, or fear, this story is for you. Pastor Doug Wekenman shares a vulnerable personal story and invites us to consider what it looks like to truly live the "life to the full" that Jesus promised to each and every one of us who follows Him.

Pastor Shawn Johnson gives us a new perspective on the Easter story by helping us see ourselves in the position of the disciples of the first Easter. The hope they experienced in their darkest hour is the same hope that we have access to today when we believe in Jesus.

Why was John the only disciple who made it to the cross? Pastor Doug Wekenman explains how we, like the disciples, often miss the cross because we are living for things other than love. We are imperfect people and we will all experience failure in our lifetime. It’s how we respond to our failure that makes the difference. Only leaning on Jesus’ love will lead us to the cross.

Why did Jesus flip over tables in the temple courts during Passover? Pastor Ryan Wekenman preaches out of Mark 11 and explains how Jesus flipped tables to demonstrate that because of Him, the tables of religion have turned. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus make worship, forgiveness, and transformation easily attainable for all people!

God wants your trust and your 'yes' when He calls you, even when it doesn't make sense. Our ability to walk in our God-given calling hinges on our willingness to say 'yes' to what God asks us to do. The events surrounding Palm Sunday and Easter exemplify the power of saying 'yes' to God when things don't make sense. His disciples were witnesses to the greatest gift this world has ever received and they would have missed it if they chose not to trust Him and follow His leading. 

Palm Sunday is Jesus’ public proclamation that He is the Messiah people have been praying and waiting for. The people there that day knew the King they were waiting for had arrived. When we understand the symbolism of the events that occurred on Palm Sunday, we see the significance of the proclamation “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

As a culture we don’t like to wait, but God uses waiting in our lives for our good. Waiting is designed to develop us as we learn we can trust the character of Jesus. If He healed then, He heals now. If He saved then, He saves now. If He cared then, He cares now. When we know who He is, we understand ourselves and who He calls us to be.
