“Hunger Pangs”

“Hunger Pangs”

February 25, 2018 – The Good Life

What are the implications of doing what we know to do? What if you could become a better parent? A patient mother who disciplines with love and wisdom? A selfless dad who is not so caught up in his own world that he misses out on magical moments…

“Good Grief”

“Good Grief”

February 18, 2018 – The Good Life

God wants to be close in crisis. God longs to be near in drama. But you have a choice to make. You don’t have to seek his comfort and a lot of us don’t. It might sound callous or crazy, but let your drama drive you to God. We steel our hearts…

“Tough Minded and Tender Hearted”

“Tough Minded and Tender Hearted”

February 13, 2018 – The Good Life

Meekness is often a scary word in our culture, connoting ideas of weakness and passiveness. In Matthew 5:5, Jesus states, “blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the world.” Jesus challenges our modern day associations with the word meek…

“The Fortunate Unfortunate”

“The Fortunate Unfortunate”

February 5, 2018 – The Good Life

In Matthew 5:3 Jesus says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” In other words, blessed are those who know they need God. It goes against everything in our culture, and may go against what you’ve heard about God…

“Hope for a New Year”

“Hope for a New Year”

January 7, 2018 – Other Messages

We all face storms in life, whether financial, personal, health-related, or in relationships. We can’t control the types of storms we face, the duration, or when they occur, but we can control our response. What would it look like to respond…

“God’s Got This!”

“God’s Got This!”

December 31, 2017 – Other Messages

What would a healthy fear of the Lord look in your life? Would it mean offering up worship to the Lord even when you didn’t feel like it? Would it mean discovering or rediscovering your favorite verse in the Bible and pondering its direct…

“The True Meaning of Christmas”

“The True Meaning of Christmas”

December 17, 2017 – God and the Christmas Movies

What is so shocking about Christ’s coming is that God didn’t wait for us to get our junk together before he came to be with us. He came to be with us because we couldn’t get our junk together. The presence of shepherds at the manger scene reminds…

“Real Love Changes Everything”

“Real Love Changes Everything”

December 11, 2017 – God and the Christmas Movies

Real love is defined this way: God is love. God has chosen to shower His love upon us. We have value, not because we are lovable, but because we are loved. Scripture tells us that God has already chosen to love us. He sent his Son first, to prove…

“Faithful not Predictable”

“Faithful not Predictable”

December 3, 2017 – God and the Christmas Movies

Luke 2:19 tells us that Mary treasured up all the things that have happened to her and pondered them in her heart. When we consider the events leading up to the birth of Jesus, we see four experiences which Mary pondered and prized…

“Still God’s Child”

“Still God’s Child”

November 27, 2017 – God and the Christmas Movies

When asked who will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus uses a little child to remind the disciples that the way up to greatness is actually the way down. It’s not from childish behavior, but in childlike faith where we find…

“Pervasive Peace”

“Pervasive Peace”

November 20, 2017 – The Prayers of Paul

What are you worried about? Maybe you’re afraid you won’t make your 4th-quarter numbers. Maybe you have a difficult conversation in your near future. Maybe you have a doctor’s appointment looming. Maybe your life has too many tasks or too many…

“Your Prayers Are Too Small”

“Your Prayers Are Too Small”

November 12, 2017 – The Prayers of Paul

If you want to know what someone really believes about God, just listen to their prayers. What do your prayers reveal about your faith? If God is a God who answers prayers like Ephesians 3:14-19, your prayers are probably too small. We shouldn’t…

“Life’s About to Get Good”

“Life’s About to Get Good”

November 5, 2017 – The Prayers of Paul

Knowledge and insight are not necessarily the words we think of when we think of love. The knowledge for which Paul prays is both intellectual and experiential. What if we learned to love like this – with intelligence. The people who get love…

“Overflowing Hope”

“Overflowing Hope”

October 29, 2017 – The Prayers of Paul

As we kick off a new series examining the prayers of the Apostle Paul, we pray these prayers for ourselves and for others. We ask that God fills us with joy and peace, that we might overflow with hope. Biblical hope is an eager expectation of…

“Reaching Out Along the Journey: Go First!”

“Reaching Out Along the Journey: Go First!”

October 23, 2017 – Other Messages

Do you reach out to people who are close friends and fellow sojourners in Christ? Do you reach out to people who are outside your sphere? Do you help open doors for people? Do you elevate those around you? Do you foster understanding and…

“Positive Disillusionment”

“Positive Disillusionment”

October 16, 2017 – Other Messages

Jeff Lucas has been a longtime friend of the Capital community and brought a powerful message, inspiring us: The pathway to maturity passes through disillusionment, fear is the enemy of faith, hame smothers, feelings lie to us, and the first step…

“Your Friendly, Neighborhood Servant”

“Your Friendly, Neighborhood Servant”

October 9, 2017 – God and the Movies 2017

Sometimes, there’s a temptation to want awesome people to think you’re awesome. We probably have different criteria for measuring greatness, but there’s one thing we all have in common. We measure greatness by comparison. I determine my…

“Finding Love in La La Land”

“Finding Love in La La Land”

October 1, 2017 – God and the Movies 2017

We often get romance wrong. Maybe you long for true love. If you do, don’t just wait to receive it, start by giving it. True love gives. True love serves. True love sacrifices. True love isn’t pretty, but it’s beautiful. True love is sacrificial…

“What is Home to You”

“What is Home to You”

September 25, 2017 – God and the Movies 2017

How is your heart? God says guard your heart because everything flows through it. Yes, it is the physical organ that pumps in our chest, but it’s also the center of our emotional, moral and spiritual life. The very core of who we are.

“Loving the Least”

“Loving the Least”

September 18, 2017 – God and the Movies 2017

Religion often hinders compassion. But as we look at the parable of the Good Samaritan, it teaches us to show compassion to those in need. Ask yourself, who are the hardest people for you to love? You may not struggle with prejudice in race or…

“Finding Friendship”

“Finding Friendship”

September 10, 2017 – God and the Movies 2017

We chase money with relentless drive, but what about friendship? We chase success and recognition and romance, but what about friendship? We should surround ourselves with people who are quick to affirm, quick to forgive, people who pick us up…
