There isn’t a person who doesn’t, at sometime, find themselves walking thru the ruins, wondering if ‘this is the end’! This message takes us back to 715 BC to join young King Hezekiah on his survey of the ruins. Remarkably, we watch as the slightest of smiles breaks in the corners of his mouth. He has a plan! A plan to spark revival! If something in your life is in need of revival, come walk with Hezekiah for a few minutes, and learn his secrets!

I Kings 19 is a fascinating study on mental health. Out of this passage emerges two lists: one is the Symptoms and Causes of mental strain and brokenness, the other is God’s Prescription and Cure for Elijah’s battle with darkness and depression. I Kings 19 is filled with some great insight and practicality.

What is chapter 14 of The Story really all about? Conflict avoidance? Relational tension? How to mend a broken relationship (or avoid breaking one in the first place)? Or something else? This message acknowledges the heartbreak that comes from conflict and division, but seeks to hunt for the root cause of such devastating consequences!

In a hard world we often cannot see God working and are frustrated by our inability to effect real change. In those times, it is often enough to stand in an empty square and defy the darkness. It is enough to simply stand and praise God for who he is.

Finding the ‘Black Box’ is the highest priority after a plane crashes! Well, Chapter 13 of The Story is a ‘Black Box’ of Solomon’s life! As we study it, the reasons for the catastrophic crash at the end of his life become clear and provide us with some very compelling ways to avoid making the same mistakes!

Everyone loves a good story about David – the warrior, the king, the “man after God’s own heart”… but bring Bathsheba into the picture and we can’t help but cringe. She’s kind of the dirty word in the Bible, isn’t she? But what if it’s not at all what it seems? What if there’s more to the story? What if this isn’t actually her story at all?

Opening Chapter 11 of The Story is like opening a photobook of David’s life! This message walks us through three defining moments in the life of David before he became King of Israel; and draws some powerful applications for our own lives.

There is nothing in the whole world like a good story! Stories not only

allow us to experience ‘time-travel’, they reveal the driving-themes in a

person’s life! This message is on a quest to discover the themes that

arise from the lives of Hannah, Samuel, Eli and Saul, the first king of

Israel! Each challenges us to pay attention to the story that is being

written of our lives!

In this week of The Story, we invite guest speaker Patti Miller to the stage to walkthrough the book of Ruth with us. Many think that the book of Ruth is confusing both in it's meaning and it it's message to us as followers of Jesus. What we find is quiet the opposite.
