Love. It's complicated. It hurts. Yet we all seek it! In this conclusion to "With God" we explore what it means to know the love of God and how a life lived in love is a life lived with God. 

In this third installment of "With God," we explore the question of hope. What does it mean to have life "With God" while we're in the hardest parts of life?

Living life "With" God sounds like a great goal right? But what does it mean? This week we're looking at replacing fear with faith and learning to sail through the hardest moments by trusting God. 

This series kicks off with a look at 4 postures we take when relating to God. Each posture comes with a caution. In the end, we discover the true treasure of life WITH God.

This series is inspired by the book "With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God by Skye Jethani

Christmas is full of many traditions. None may be as lasting as the songs we sing! Songs are also one of the best tools we have for learning and remembering important things. Everything from from a preschooler’s “ABC’s” to Biggie’s “Mo Money, Mo Problems” can teach us in a way that sticks and stays. Join us this December as we take a look at some of the greatest Christmas songs that teach about the greatest story of God’s Love. Carols: The Story Behind the Songs We Sing. 

This final installment of "Enemies of heart" wrestles with one of the most sneaky and corrosive emotions... Jealousy.  

As we continue this series we touch on an enemy of the heart that has corrupted many to the core. We may not even know it but the American culture is full of greed. It has become normal to be greedy and the Bible teaches the opposite. If you struggle with greed or you want to be more like Christ, this episode is for you.

This is the big one. Anger is corruptive, and for most people, we don't recognize the symptoms until it is too late. It is truly an enemy of the heart and this week we tackle anger put it under a spotlight and give practical biblical teaching to eradicate it from your life. 

With this new series, we take a week to discuss one of four enemies of the heart. Guilt is one that will stick with you and eat you alive if you don't address it and release it in a timely manner. The Bible is clear about what keeps our spiritual lives healthy and when we don't take care of our spiritual heart it will lead us to poor decision making and a life of regret. Jesus wants us to live life to the full and this week we talk about the first enemy and how to combat it.
