There never seems to be enough time. We spend most of our time just trying to meet the demands that have been placed on us and in those rare moments when we might have "spare time", how we use it says a lot about us. The thing is, God never intended us to live like this. He made us and gives us just enough time to live out the life he's invited us into. So what gives? How do we take control of our time without letting our time take control of us?

Join Alpine Chapel for Father's Day 2018 and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd challenges us to take a good look at what takes up our time and begin treating our time like Jesus treated his.

Christians tend to get a bad rap for not being much like Jesus. Let's be honest: those are some big sandals to fill! In fact, "being Jesus" to those around us is downright impossible. There's no way we could ever live the kind of life that Jesus lived ... unless the Spirit of Jesus came to live inside of us.

Check out the final part of Alpine's series, "42 Seconds", and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd helps us understand the one thing we bring to the table when it comes to "being Jesus" to the people we interact with in our everyday lives.

Do you think of yourself as a brave person? Maybe you've never thought about it. Maybe you're not even sure what bravery really is. However you might define bravery, though, Jesus had it. And his bravery came from a bold and risky love that would do whatever it took to let people know how much God cared about them. It's the same bravery that Jesus offers us when we become a part of his mission.

Check out Part Three of Alpine's series, "42 Seconds", and hear Staff Pastor Josh Blick talk about what it means to be brave like Jesus, showing both love and truth to others so that they catch a glimpse of God's care for them.

More often than not, our bodies are in one place while our minds and emotions are in another. This wasn't the case with Jesus. Jesus was able to be fully present in every interaction that he had with others. That's not to say he wasn't tempted to be somewhere else mentally or emotionally, but that he overcome those temptations which are the same ones that keep us from being present with others. So what does it look like for us to follow Jesus' example when it comes to being present?

Check out part two of Alpine Chapel's series, "42 Seconds" and hear Staff Pastor Alex Gowler share about the one thing that helps us overcome the temptations of appetite, approval, and ambition so that we can be present with those around us.

Every interaction we have with others, no matter how small, is important. Jesus modeled this perspective during his time on Earth. Even in his briefest encounters, he was able to impact people in a meaningful way. What would it look like to follow Jesus' example in our own conversations? What if more meaningful interactions with others was a single 'yes' away?

Join Alpine Chapel for Part One of our four-week series, "42 Seconds". Using the book 42 Seconds: The Jesus Model for Everyday Interactions by Carl Medearis as a guide, we'll explore what it means to interact with others like Jesus did. And it all starts with something that doesn't come naturally or randomly: kindness.

You don't have to be a parent to help others experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. As parents, though, we have the unique opportunity to sow the seeds of that life by instilling a love for God's Word in our families (which starts with loving God's Word ourselves!).

Join Alpine Chapel for a special message from Dave and Natalie Mudd about the power of God's Word to bring abundant life to our families.

Our lives are driven by our desires. For many, those desires are summed up in something called "the American Dream". We work and sweat and strive to make that dream a reality only to end up stressed out, exhausted, and ultimately unfulfilled. God created us for so much more. But in order to live into the future God has for us, we need a radical redirection of our hearts away from "the American Dream". We need to be radically redirected towards Jesus.

Join Alpine Chapel for a special message from Lead Pastor Dave Mudd about the heartbeat of a radically redirected life: the desire to delight in the God who delights in us.

There's a difference between recovery and resurrection. Recovery means healing. It's what you do for yourself. But resurrection is different. Resurrection means you have nothing left, that you're dead and buried, and you need someone else to dig you out. Through the power of his own resurrection, Jesus is able to bring life back to the places where death has taken hold ... but only if we let him.

Check out this special message from author, speaker, and friend of Alpine, Blaine Bartel, as he shares his own story of life from death and invites us to experience the resurrection life of Jesus, as well.

Faith isn't just one of the most important things you need in the valley. It's also one of the most difficult things to hold on to. When life makes us want to give up and throw in the towel, we need other people to come around us and help us keep believing. And that's why Jesus gave us each other.

Join Alpine Chapel for Part Three of our series, "Valleys", and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd shares how it's the people in our lives that God uses to get us through the difficulties in our lives.

Trials are a part of living as broken people in a broken world. We can think of them as interruptions or we can engage them as opportunities to grow. But beyond a renewed perspective on our valleys, we need a renewed posture: a way of approaching our valleys that isn't about us but about Jesus.

Check out Part Two of Alpine Chapel's series, "Valleys", and listen as Lead Pastor Dave Mudd helps us understand what it means that God's power is made perfect in our weakness.
