All of us want to win in life. Often, we play games in our relationships with God and others to gain an advantage or take the lead, but ultimately find ourselves losing out. One way we lose big is when we play games with the words we say.

Have you ever felt frustrated in a game because the other players seem to be playing by a different set of rules than you, and you can't win? I have felt this way playing games, but I have also felt like this in my life.
There are moments when we look at others' lives and think they must be doing something different than us because they seem to be succeeding in life, and we aren't sure we are. Moments we find ourselves thinking, could someone please tell me what I must do to win -- to be the best mom, friend, partner, co-worker, etc.?

Listen to Pastor Joy's sermon on The Key To Winning At Life to gain insight into your spiritual journey with Christ. The answer to "winning at life" may not be exactly what you think.

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do to stack everything in your life just right, something’s fallen out of place? Life can sometimes feel like a game of Jenga!

Did you ever hear about the party at Matthew’s house? It was an amazing affair, and Jesus was the guest of honor. We have a party at our church every Sunday, and Jesus is the guest of honor.

The world is obsessed with the future but oftentimes misses out on the present. The Book of James is one of the early Christian church's most practical and challenging writings. Written by Jesus' brother and disciple, James, this letter has inspired Christians for centuries in what it means to live and love like Jesus.

When you were a kid, did you ever wonder what the "grown-up" world was like? What was beyond the familiar? In Uptown's 'At The Movies' series, Pastor Joy explores The Little Mermaid to illustrate biblical truths about discipleship and neighboring.

The most extraordinary adventures are typically the ones we never anticipate. Whether to exotic places far away or simply a beloved staycation in the city, adventure can surprise even the most traveled. Grab some popcorn, bring a friend, and listen in as we continue our At The Movies series, looking at one of the only movies to make us cry and exploring how you can best live your one wild life.  

Since the words "in a galaxy, far, far away" first crawled onto movie screens, we have told the tale of the Jedi and Force for generations. Because the greatest stories never end, they find new life in every age. The same is true for our faith. Join us this Sunday as we explore how one of the greatest cinematic stories ever told speaks to the great story of our lives.

Are you searching for answers to the profound question, "Who am I?"

Join us as we delve into the depths of self-discovery during our 'At the Movies' sermon. Explore the unique and purposeful identity that resides within you, and embark on a journey towards understanding your true worth and potential.

When you have a big ego but lack compassion, it often becomes evident in how you treat others. This is what we call the sin of snobbery. It occurs when we start making distinctions and evaluating people based on shallow criteria like their wealth, status, race, or age. James challenges us to reconsider this behavior.
