On night two of Fall Retreat, Haley follows the question "what is love?" up with a charge for us to be the community of love.

On night one of Fall Retreat, Haley answered the question: What Is Love, and How Do We Become People Who Love?

In our third week of our series "The Way", Haley talked to us about the importance of Sabbath. She explains that a true 24 hour Sabbath brings transformation as you are intentionally taking the time to stop and delight in the Lord. What is holding you back from a day of Sabbath? If it is because you are "too busy", then this episode is especially for you!

This week, Will talked to us about the importance of practicing silence and solitude. Focusing on the text of Mark 1:12-13, Will highlights Jesus practicing this very thing and he invites us to join him in the silence. So what is distracting you from embracing the silence? Are you willing to accept Jesus' invitation and rest in the silence and solitude?

This week we kicked off the Fall Semester with our new sermon series: The Way. Using Matthew 11:28-30, Haley calls each of us out for falling into the trap of busyness. Are you unable to slow down? Are you leaning into the busyness rather than taking time for true rest? Is there actually a different way to live other than in busyness? I guess you'll have to tune in to find out.

This week Elizabeth wraps up our sermon series in James. She dives into how our biblical faith is not blind, and how it is important for us to realize that. Our faith is built around trusting evidence of God's faithfulness and knowing the promise Jesus represents. Where have you seen God's goodness in your life? Do you seek Jesus or what He does for you? Is there an area in your life where others might think it is crazy that you are being so patient and radically trusting God?

This week we continue our sermon series in James, Haley walks us through the fourth chapter. Peace is something that we truly desire in our lives, so what are the 3 keys for finding peace in our lives? What steals our ability to find peace? What makes it hard to hold onto peace? What is something in our lives that we need to surrender to God to allow us to find peace?

This week, we continue our study of James. Haley looks at the third chapter of James, where he speaks about the taming of the tongue. The tongue contains a lot of power in our everyday lives. How do the things we speak impact others? Our words are direct reflections of our heart so what do they show the people around us? Why should we care about the words we speak? What are our words creating?

As we continue to work our way through the Letter of James, Elizabeth jumps into Chapter 2. James challenges us to show our faith through our works because faith without works is dead. Elizabeth gives us an amazing understanding of this chapter as well as the biblical view that faith and obedience are essentially unified. What would someone say you are passionate about looking at your life from the outside? What do your choices say about what you believe?

This week we start a new sermon series in the Letter of James. Haley dives in giving us an outline of what direction we will be going down over the next few weeks. What are some takeaways from this letter, as we look inward and at our own hearts? How can we transition to being contributors rather than just consumers? How are we going to allow the Letter of James to transform us into new followers of Jesus?
