How does Jesus treat people? He always moves toward the mess, toward the hurt, toward the struggle, never away from it. What does Jesus have to say about the life of a disciple and the reality of Hell? The gate is narrow and the way is hard, but it's absolutely worth it. (03-25-18)

What is it that keeps us from bringing our questions, our struggles, our concerns, to God? Each and every day there are areas in our lives where we need help but instead of going to God we go it alone. Jesus has a better way. (03-18-18)

We are tempted to judge others daily...probably even minute to minute. How dangerous is this practice when it becomes a regular part of our lives? What we see clearly through Jesus teaching is that Judging blinds us to grace. (03-11-18)

Anxiety is something many struggle with on a daily basis, and for all of us is a temptation. What should we do with our anxious hearts and mind? Where do we go? What's the solution? Hear these words of Jesus. (03-04-18)

Is fasting really an important part of the Christian life? More than we probably realize or have given much thought to. Jesus makes it clear that fasting as a disciplined pursuit and desperate response is crucial to the life of a disciple. (02-18-18)

Is there a right or wrong way to approach God? Yes, but it's not about having the right words, it's about having the right heart. This is what Jesus shows us in this model prayer. (02-11-18)

Jesus isn't looking for good works if they come from a wicked heart. He is crystal clear when it comes to HOW we give and it's all about the motive. If it's about the need for praise, keep the works. (02-04-18)

As a church we stand and will always stand for life. We believe that every life begins in the womb and that no one has the right to take a life. Are we pro birth, yes. Are we also pro all of life, absolutely. Every single person has been made in the image of God and therefore has value and purpose. (01.28.18)

Not only does God care and pastors care, but we have been called to care for one another inside and outside of the church family. What should this look like? To answer that we jump into I Corinthians 12 to see what the Apostle Paul has to say. (01-21-18)

What should the church expect from their pastors? Care! This doesn't just mean being there in a crisis, as we see in Acts 20, it means being present accessible and truly knowing the sheep while feeding, protecting, and sacrificing for them. Our example is Jesus and the bar is set high. (01-14-17)
