The Bible’s idea of rooted is a relationship.  Rooted means I’m connected to the One who nourishes and anchors my soul.  Rooted means being connected to Jesus in a way that creates an overflow from my life into the world around me.  Rooted full-fills me with the treasure of Jesus!

Tonight at Insight, we’re ramping up to our Rooted Retreat with this message by Hugh from Colossians 2.7. 

What kind of blind are you?  Nearsighted, farsighted, blurry vision, double vision, tunnel vision, partially blind, completely blind, blind spots, legally blind, color blind, blind date, blinded by the light, blind to truth, blind as a bat… So many ways to be blind—and spiritually blind.  But here’s hope: “I once was blind, but now I see!”

New Year’s resolutions, a word for the year, fresh goals, exercise plans, & good intentions… Down the drain on average by January 12!  That’s how long most of our new efforts last—12 days. 

Maybe what we need is a different kind of new.  Maybe what we need is someOne who specializes in new. 

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace!  Tonight’s message unpacks the meaning of this prophetic name Isaiah gives to Jesus.  That poor innkeeper had no idea who he was turning away that first Christmas night!

Is your waiting marked by passivity or are you actively waiting on God to show up--expectant that He's going to work within your waiting?  Tonight, Katie Heckel's preaching on Waiting on God. 

Your will…Probably the single most strategic thing about you.  It’s the place in you where what you think & what you feel & what you want all converge into what you do.  The posture of your will has everything to do with how you pursue God & how you partner with God’s work in your life.  Tonight at Insight…Hebrews 12.14, Genesis 22.1-18—and the posture of a surrendered will led by Hugh Griffith.

When it comes to a crisis situation, how do you typically respond? Tonight at Insight, Hugh Griffith helps us look at and learn from Hezekiah and his response to a crisis.

The first half of the gospel…saves us, rescues us, forgives us, & reclaims us as God’s own forever.  The second half of the gospel…reorients us, realigns us, equips us, & transforms us to profoundly love God and people.  But did you know that 89% of Christians live their lives in the first half of the gospel only?  Just 11% of believers say they are experiencing the second half. 

What does the second half of the gospel look like on a college student?  What would it look like on you?  As the second half of the semester begins, let’s dive in to the second half of the gospel as Hugh Griffith preaches. 

How does God speak to us today?  How do we learn to hear God's voice?  Why does God choose to speak to me in a way that's different than someone else?  Tonight Katie Heckel breaks down some different ways God speaks to us and how to make sure you're at a place where you can hear Him.

Our life often carries tension between connection and disconnection -- even our spiritual life.  As followers of Jesus, we believe that God is always with us, but what do we do when we feel disconnected from God and his presence?  Katie Heckel helps us learn to actively Seek God's Face....
