What are you putting your confidence in? Whether it’s your literal resume or your spiritual one, when we treat Jesus like a sidenote in the story we come up empty-handed. This week, Josiah Jones takes us through Philippians 3 to remind us we don’t need to perform for Christ, we just need to pursue Him.

All of life is a drawing close or a drifting away from God — but what makes the difference? This week, Kylen Perry points to 1 John 1 and makes the case that confessing our sin and accepting the gift of forgiveness is the key to closeness to Christ.

Are you addicted to being busy? Finding satisfaction in an ever-growing to-do list? While it's easy to slip into achiever mode, this week Kylen Perry takes us through Luke 10 to show us that when we live distracted we risk missing out on the one thing we really need — to focus fully on Jesus.

Surrender by nature is uncomfortable, yet it's what God instructs us to do daily. When a rich young ruler in Mark 10 is told this it leads to disappointment, but this week Kylen Perry reminds us that the cost of following Jesus is nothing compared to what we get in return.

It's easy to get distracted in a world that demands our attention. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Psalm 27, where we see David recognize that in order to pursue what matters, we have to give our attention to the One who deserves our focus — and it all starts with one question.

Do you try to "fix" your feelings? Guest speaker and author of "Untangle Your Emotions" Jennie Allen walks us through John 11 to remind us that Jesus felt things deeply, and when we learn how to acknowledge our feelings in a biblical way we can find freedom from the confusion.

We're constantly being told we need to find ourselves, but what if we just need to rest in the identity God's already given us? This week, guest speaker Nate Hilgenkamp walks us through 1 Peter 1 to remind us that names are given, not earned — and God has called us chosen.

Where are you looking to find fulfillment? Answers probably range from jobs and status to relationships and looks, but in this message, Kylen Perry teaches from Psalm 27 to show us that true contentment is found when we rest in dependence on our Father.

Do you trust God to be the Lord of your life — or is that a title you want to keep for yourself? Last night, Kylen Perry walked us through Matthew 6 to remind us that God doesn’t want us to strive to achieve self-sufficiency, but rest in the confidence that comes with self-surrender.

Why do we celebrate Christmas? This week, Timothy “TA” Ateek reminds us of the truth behind John 3:16, the most famous verse in the Bible, to show us that the good news of the season is rooted in the reality of the Gospel.
