King David's prayers often had a similar structure: requests, defenses, and declarations. We can pray like this too, and today Pastor Brent shares an example we can all pray--maybe especially so for dads!

Money can bring a lot of good things, but it can't save you. Only God can save you from the grave. So where are you putting your trust?

We all have bad days and face lots of trouble, but God promises to be with us IN our trouble. Selah--pause and remember this!

Do you ever feel you are doing enough just to get by? Or do you feel like you’ve mismanaged an area of life, and it’s in near shambles? Even more so, how can we know that God will still want to use us as his people for his story when we routinely fall short? This Sunday, we’ll look at a couple of different Bible passages that will help us reckon with our own shortcomings and will help us serve together as a community of believers, even in the midst of our past failures.

Authenticity and honesty in front of God, others, and ourselves not only leads to our freedom, but an authentic church family is really attractive to the community around us.

Joy DOES give strength for the journey. So choose joy!

This week singer Ed Sheeran won a long-contested copyright legal battle, but it leads to an interesting conversation: How much can you "borrow" from an idea before it becomes illegal? How can we best learn from leaders before us, and how much of "our" ideas should we own and hold on to? Don't we want good ideas to be passed on--and where's the line?

Pastor Joe and Matt wrestle with that and more in today's TRENDING.

In our individual lives and as a church family, it’s wise for us to surrender to Christ’s leadership voluntarily.

Happy Star Wars Day! 🙂 Today on TRENDING, Pastor Joe and Matt discuss lessons we can learn from the Star Wars franchise, plus: what are the pros and cons of our era of endless shows to stream on Disney+? How much is too much, and aren't our souls worth more than "traffic" on these platforms?

We are asked to “live by faith and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7) in the Christian life. As we wander outside of our comfort zones, we feel like we’re doing absurd things. But, the community of faith and the comfort that God provides helps us to step into the unknown. This week, we’ll read one of Jesus’ famous parables and be encouraged to take a risk in our faith.
