He is risen! The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation for our worldview, our approach to ministry, and the reason we face the future with hopeful expectation. We pray a season of resurrection hope for you and your story starts today!

On Palm Sunday, we welcome the coming of King Jesus into our world to heal, help, restore, and save. Beyond the historical arrival of Jesus to the city of Jerusalem, we celebrate His drawing near to our stories today.

The primeval prologue of Genesis ends with a story about humans making a monument to pride, a symbol of their achievement and accomplishment independent of God. What can we learn from this strange story about our world and our place in it.

In the rapid downward spiral that started in Genesis 3, God's good creation has come to a crisis point. What can be done to redeem and restore the plan for humanity?

NOTE - The recording of this message has a few skips and distortions due to an equipment issue.

As God's beautiful creation continued to spiral out of control after the choice to reject God's lordship, the next casualty was the loss of relational harmony. The first humans chose autonomy over dependence, and then they chose isolation at the expense of interdependent community.

The opening chapters of the Bible provide a poetic and beautiful narrative about the creation of the cosmos and the origin of humanity. These narratives have much to teach about the nature of God, but we can miss these lessons when we try to force modern questions on these ancient stories.

We've all asked the "How long...?" How long am I going to have to put up with this? How long is this going to take? How long until I get a break? Rarely does a question start with "How long" and end with a positive expectation. Today, we're going to talk about what the question "How long...?" can add to your prayer life.

In all likelihood, the person you lie to the most is yourself! What would happen if we told ourselves the truth? What would happen if we grounded our self-understanding in our relationship with God?

Why is it so hard to ask for what we want from the people that want to love us well? The answer is a mix of pride, fear, and magical thinking. If we lean in to the truth of the Gospel, we can learn to relate to one another in love.

All of us engage in a mental dance when we see people in need or problems in our world. Our desire to help collides with the limits of our resources, and sometimes we get stuck in inaction. Jesus followers are called to love with action and in truth.
