Culture is flooded with the newest “quick fix” to all our problems, and we’ve started to believe happiness is just a click away. But, the truth is, behind that product or program lies an empty promise and another disappointment - every time. Today we begin a brand new message series, Habits: Ancient Practices for Today's World, where we'll take the focus of our hearts and minds off our culture's "new big ideas" and refocus on God's time-tested truths! Listen with us and, together, we’ll re-discover age-old practices that draw us to Him, where true satisfaction awaits!

Have you ever wondered if God is still control when walking through a season of grief, pain, or suffering? Today we continue our message series - Good Mourning: Taking Your Sorrow to the Savior - by turning to chapter 5 of Lamentations, where we’re invited to turn our gaze from the rubble of our brokenness to the Redeemer of every hurt. The poet's words invite us to look toward God's promises even while we're still in pain. Listen with us to our newest message, What to Do When We’re at the End, and see how lament brings us back to God. 

Don't you love a good rags-to-riches story? Certainly no one likes to see the opposite: beauty descending into ruin. Today we continue our message series - Good Mourning: Taking Your Sorrow to the Savior - by examining what happens to people when they deny God. As we begin chapter 4 of Lamentations, the writer gives us a glimpse of the streets of Jerusalem, where an idolatrous people face the consequences of their rejection of God. Listen with us to our newest message, On the Streets of Ruin, and encounter the reality that without God, people perish.

We live in a world full of hurting people who hurt people. Today we continue our message series - Good Mourning: Taking Your Sorrow to the Savior - by learning to cry out to God in the face of injustice. As we turn to Lamentations chapter 3, we'll talk about remembering the heart of God and learn to have hope as we wait on His justice! Listen with us to our newest message, How to Lament Injustice, and recognize lament as a means to grieve with those who grieve. 

Do you know what it feels like to lose hope? To believe you'll never make it out of the darkness, the brokenness, the pain? In life, we all experience these "end of your rope" moments. The question is, where do we go from there? Today we continue our newest message series - Good Mourning: Taking Our Sorrows to the Savior - an exploration of an often-forgotten book in the Old Testament: Lamentations. As we turn to chapter 3, we find ourselves at the heart of this book, where we turn from suffering under the weight of our affliction to remembering God. Listen with us to our newest message, The Turning Point, and discover how lament allows us to hope again. 

Often when we talk about God we focus only on His love, mercy, and grace; forgetting that God is also holy and righteous - traits that cause Him to exercise judgment over sin. Today we continue our series - Good Mourning: Taking Your Sorrow to the Savior - by examining what the often forgotten Old Testament book of Lamentations has to teach us about God's righteous anger in response to our sinfulness. Listen with us in our newest message as we discover what to do When God Becomes the Enemy.

After a year filled with so much loss - whether of your livelihood, your relationships, or even your loved ones - we're all grieving. The question is whether there's a way for us to mourn in a matter that moves us toward growth, hope, and refreshment. Today we start our newest message series - Good Mourning: Taking Our Sorrows to the Savior - where we'll explore an often forgotten book in the Old Testament: Lamentations. As we study this book over the next six weeks, we’ll be taken back to Jerusalem when the city was invaded, destroyed, and their people carried off into exile. Listen with us to our newest message, Why Lament?, to discover the powerful, yet unfamiliar, spiritual discipline of lament. 

Join us as Senior Pastor Chris Brooks delivers a passionate message God has placed on his heart about grace and reconciliation! Collectively as one church, we'll explore Paul’s letter to Ephesus as he teaches how we have been reconciled in Christ. Listen with us to this special message, Better Together, as we see how grace reconciles us first to God and then to one another.

The goal of every Christian is to grow in the likeness of Jesus Christ, including in how we give! So, how do we become more Christlike in our giving? As we continue our message series - Overflow: From Him, Through Us, For All - the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9 urge us to trust the sufficiency of what God has given us and pursue the deeper fruit of giving! Listen with us to our newest message, Giving & Ability, and celebrate that we can give because God gave first! 

Do you give out of obligation? Does it take a lot to convince you? Or do you find yourself giving freely and cheerfully in response to God's goodness? As we continue our message series - Overflow: From Him, Through Us, For All - the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9 encourage us to not give simply out of duty, but to give cheerfully and generously because God first gave to us! Listen with us to our newest message, Giving & Ministry, as we come to the realization that being generous isn’t just about the money; it’s about the ministry!
