We all at one time or another have experienced pain, hurt, and hardship because of the effects of sin in our world. Learning to turn to Jesus during these difficult times is crucial. A lot of people’s suffering comes from either their own broken heart or the brokenness of another person who hasn’t properly healed. God has called us as a community of faith to understand the anointing of God to heal the brokenhearted, and for our churches to be […]

When we live in fear we become short sighted, narrow minded, and hard hearted. When we live in love we see past the worst, think beyond our problems, and provide a tender hearted presence to the hurt and hardened. Fear reduces our capacity for freedom. Love empowers us to steward great freedom well.

As we follow the Lord in our lives, we must look back to those who have gone before us in faith. We discover by God’s Word that we are in a race and it’s so important we finish our race well and pass the baton to the next generation as it has been passed on to us. Let’s take a look at those things that slow us down or hold us back and learn how to run our race well.

Disordered desires are desires that might be healthy, but exercised in a place with no boundaries. That’s why our strongest desires are not always our deepest desires. Our culture today says that freedom means you can do “whatever makes you happy” as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, but that isn’t freedom at all. Pastor Jacob uses pornography as an example. Sexual desire was designed by God, but when they become disordered, it becomes sexual sin. Some think watching […]

There is not one person on this planet that is immune to believing lies. The lie isn’t always bad information that you hear. Sometimes we believe lies that we must do a certain thing or behave a certain way to make change happen. Some people think that arguing on social media is how they will create change, yet they use the same tactics and behavior as the people who oppose what they believe. Not you, of course– “other people”. 😉 […]

For a believer, Jesus has removed the sting of death and the strength of the law over us by bearing our sins on the cross. If we can get a deeper revelation of this truth it will grow our love for the Lord and reveal His incredible love for us.

There is a kind of “tired” that taking a nap or time off work won’t fix. There are different words for this kind of tired like weary, faint-hearted, and burnout. There are signs of this kind of tired like cynicism, little things that shouldn’t bother you rub you the wrong way, all people drain you, and you see things mostly negatively. Unless we get revitalized, we give room for the enemy. There may come a time where you just want […]

The primary spiritual battleground is the mind. Our thought life is either of the devil or of Jesus, there is no in-between. The tactics of the enemy are: To get you to question your identity, confuse your thoughts, and then when he has your thoughts, he can now control your behavior. The devil has no good in him, has no truths, and he cannot create anything– He can only manipulate lies to sound like truth. Pastor Zach gets us refocused […]

Yes, we are in a spiritual fight. There is one camp that says everything bad you do is the devil and the other camp is completely ignorant of what the devil does. Yes, the devil is a real creature and we are in a fight FOR people, not with people. Pastor Jacob talks about the devil’s strategies AND Jesus’s victory. We can’t afford to live as though the devil doesn’t exist, but we also don’t need to live as though […]

Grave clothes are sticky and smelly. They cling to the body as if they were a part of the body. When you think of them metaphorically, addiction and old habits can try to cling to us when we are born again and resurrected from a life of sin and death. Pastor Duane talks about how to walk out the new life we have been given by Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection. Maybe Easter was a day you decided to give […]
