Twist. Turns. Loss. Agony. Redemption.

Life is like that. What do you do when the crushing weight of life flattens you?

Questions of suffering have haunted mankind as far back as history takes us.

Job is the guy you never want to be.

But one day you look in the mirror and he looks back.

This Sunday Tom Knox and I will talk with you about

the most asked question:

Why does God allow pain and suffering?

Week 2 of the series Explore God. Read Acts 17:22-34 and consider this question: Where do you see the existence of God? The Apostle Paul lays out a few compelling reasons to believe God is real. It will be an important message for all of us, no matter where we are on our spiritual journey.

I'd like to welcome you to the first part of our new series Explore God.

Read Ecclesiastes 2:9-11 and John 10:10 and consider this question: Do you ever wonder what the point of life really is about? Sometimes I do. But God reminds all of us we were made ON purpose FOR a purpose.

As the nation focuses on the

Big Game, a yearly pageant of extreme sports achievement, we are reminded of Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27.

I don't know about you, but I'm running hard for the finish line. I'm giving it everything I've got...I'm staying alert and in top condition...

Winning happens in the locker room first.

The Relational GLUE series concludes this Sunday

with a message for team Spring Branch.

Read Ecclesiastes 4:8-12 and consider this question: Are you traveling through life alone? Let's face it - we are stronger and better when we live in community with others. Do you have a handful of people who have your back no matter what?

I want to challenge you to find a small group at Spring Branch! Moving to a new city, my wife Lyndsay and I are so excited to jump into a small group of other couples. We've realized we are better and stronger when we live in community! I encourage you to do the same.

YOU'RE IN DEEP

Using God's

Truth as your fighting words

will not change what you see, but it

absolutely will change how you see.

Lisa Terkeurst

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

James 1:2-4

When it's not supposed to be this way.

There's a way you're supposed to be.

How do you get there?

Let's talk about it.

YOU'RE IN DEEP

The day to day operations of any company are usually messy complicated

political and full of emotional traps...

Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster

That's why you need to be here this Sunday!

The beginning of wisdom is this:

Get wisdom.

Though it cost all you have,

get understanding.

Cherish her, and she will exalt you;

embrace her, and she will honor you.

Proverbs 4:7-8

FAMILY.FRIENDSHIP.MARRIAGE.WORK. LIFE.

YOU'RE IN DEEP.

This is the series that meets you right where you are all the time.

This is the series to invite someone to join you for bringing real faith & real life together.

Relationships

are the cutting edge of your life.

You have questions.

You need wisdom & grace answers.

An honest answer

is like a kiss on the lips.

Proverbs 24:26

The struggles of the year gone by often leave us with hope for a better year.

The hope we have for a better year is a precursor to something much greater.

This innate hope for a better year is a shadow of our innate hope (desire) for the final end of disappointment, struggle and unrealized dreams.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind can even imagine what God has prepared for those who love him.

1 Corinthians 2:9

BEHOLD answers all questions ...because BEHOLD always takes you somewhere... This night God will write Holy history with a star, angels and a baby.
