God calls us to a pattern of life with rest and labor... while rest is nice, it’s important to remember that we are wired to actively work! This week, we look at Proverbs at some biblical examples of what avoiding laziness is all about. 

“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” Romans 12:11 NIV

Today Michael Poorman joins us brining the message. We look at a parable from the book of Luke and how sometimes when we try to have everything, we can end up with nothing. Although it's human nature to want to take more than you need, we can train ourselves to budget for generosity and favor stories over stuff. The kingdom of God prioritizes generosity rather than greed.

Wrath. Anger. We've all felt it. However, the Bible calls us to deal with it differently than the world. Today, Pastor Matt teaches on wrath from the book of Ephesians. This message details several biblical "Anger Guardrails" we can set up in our life.  We all deal with wrath but, in the end, I hope we can see that it's just better to be nice!

Sometimes we might think we aren't worthy, but the book of Hebrews makes it clear that we are new creations. God sees us through a new lens... and He calls us to look through that same lens! Today Betsy Schoenthaler teaches that looking through this lens takes laying our baggage at the feet of Jesus and keeping our eyes fixed on Him. 

We are truly opposed by very real evil forces. However, if we can be alert and dig in our heels spiritually, we can overcome! Today Pastor Matt shares some practical ways we can combat the Devil’s schemes and we pull some biblical keys to success out of 1 Peter chapter 5.

In this second message in our Targeted series, we dive into the book of Galatians chapter 5. Our teacher today, Stephanie Stanger, helps us pull some practical ways we can overcome the temptations of the flesh. It might be an uncomfortable topic to dive into, but if we can change our focus and get serious about denying our flesh, we can open up the door to let God lead us.

He is risen! He is risen indeed! 

On this Resurrection Sunday,  we jump with Pastor Matt into 1 Peter. On that morning, Jesus rose from the grave victoriously with death defeated, setting us free. The tomb is empty, we are changed forever... and this is only the beginning!

As Holy Week begins with Jesus triumphantly entering Jerusalem, sitting on a donkey. Today, Dawn Morehouse jumps into Matthew 21 and we look more deeply at how to respond to this grand entrance. Laying down our lives for Christ is a great response for the sacrifice Christ made for us. This means declaring His identity and surrendering to His plan.

Join us next week as we celebrate the Risen King on Easter Sunday.

Today, Josh Simpson reaches from 1 Corinthians 12 on the Kingdom Value that everyone gets to play. No matter who we are, we are all parts of the same body. Each or us has a role to fulfill. There are no benchwarmers in the Kingdom... God desires us all to be with Him and there’s a place for everybody to jump in and play!
