Advent Conspiracy – Week 4
Love All: As we wrap up our time in the Advent Conspiracy series, we turn to the last response we as believers should have regarding the birth of Jesus – love all. It seems fairly simple at first glance – it’s actually quite easy to love most of the people we’re around! Scripture is quick […]
Advent Conspiracy – Week 3
Give More: Think back again with us. What is one of the most meaningful presents you have ever been given? What about that gift made it so special? We read in John that God gave us His Son. Jesus was a gift! Yet, what made Jesus’ life and death more significant than anyone else’s life […]
Advent Conspiracy – Week 2
Spend Less: What was the one gift you remember getting for Christmas last year? How about the fourth or fifth gift you received last year? Do you remember any of those? The point of “Spend Less” isn’t to stop buying gifts altogether. It’s to stop buying unintentional presents that the receiver doesn’t want or need. […]
Advent Conspiracy – Week 1
Worship Fully: Have you ever conspired with someone before? You huddle together, whispering the plan, and end it with an agreement to go and do whatever you had just discussed. It’s simple – you agree to work together for a common goal. We’re inviting you to conspire with us.

Anxiety & the Peace of God – Week 3
The Path to Peace: In our culture and in our world, we tend to hear two very different suggestions for finding peace.

Anxiety & the Peace of God – Week 1
Casting Your Cares on God: Cast your cares on God – that’s what we’re told to do when life gets tough and somehow everything is supposed to get better.

Against the Grain – Week 5
Built on the Rock: As we wrap up our time in the beatitudes, Jesus’ teachings force us to confront a weighty decision in our lives. It’s one thing to say that He is your Savior, but when you say that Jesus is Lord, what actions in your life reflect that surrender? Like a house built […]
Against the Grain – Week 4
The Fruit of the Heart: The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart. We can’t deny it, whatever our heart treasures is that which we produce. It is the seat of all our affections, the mind, and the will. So how do know what affections it holds?
Against the Grain – Week 3
See Clearly: How do you know that your perspective on something is correct? A 6 is a 6…unless you look at it upside down, in which case it appears to be a 9. Has the truth changed, or only how you see the truth? In Luke 6, when Jesus tells us not to judge others, […]
