God has given us a place to belong; His church. In this message we will explore what it means to be a part of God's Church and why it is a place worth loving.    

Does God’s Word tell us that we are supposed to love ourselves? And if so, what is that supposed to look like?

Only God’s love, displayed through His people, can truly transform the darkness around us.

In the wake of another election season, we have the chance to get a glimpse of our hearts and where we may be misplacing our hope. This misplaced hope often leads to anxiety. Ben discusses how to place our hope in Jesus in a way that practically applies to our day to day life. 

At one or another, we can all struggle with loneliness, listen in as Ben and Cody walk us through what to do with that emotion, the fears and lies underneath it and the truths that help us fight it.

It's human nature to want to achieve. To be seen and known and admired. We stack ourselves up against one another through work and relationships and accomplishments. And those very things are where we're all tempted to put our identity, to seek satisfaction. And maybe that's you too, and maybe it's left you feeling if there's more to life, if there's something you're missing. In Mark 10:17-31 we're introduced to a young man who ask Jesus what so many want to know: what do I have to do to get eternal life? And Jesus, looking on him with love like He does us, answers him. This passage shows us the importance of what we give our hearts to and what we put our identity in. Listen in as Rob takes us through this passage. 

Suffering is inevitable, but how we respond can show us a lot about ourselves and what we believe about the Lord. Listen in as Robert walks us through our different perspectives in suffering: sufferer, sinner and saint. 

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be ministers of reconciliation. It starts with forgiveness, something that Christ has already made available to us, but in practice reconciliation can be hard to pursue. Join us as Ben walks us through the how and why of reconciliation. 

We’re all prone to pride and we’re all called to humility. Listen in as Ryan McCarthy walks us through Luke 18:9-14 and shows us a story Jesus used to teach his audience about what pride and humility look like and how one leads to death and the other to life.
