“The Chosen Life”

“The Chosen Life”

It’s a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky. So, of course, as you walk out the door you pick up an umbrella. Wait…what!?!?! This must be a mistake, right? Not if the umbrella was intentionally picked for a specific purpose. Sometimes we can…

“The United Life”

“The United Life”

A coffee farmer in Honduras. A professor in South Korea. A coal miner in West Virginia. At first glance, these three people seem to have nothing in common. But, if they have made Jesus the single most defining element of their identity, the…

“The Honest Life”

“The Honest Life”

“I’m almost there.” “It was on sale.” “No, those jeans don’t accentuate the wrong things in the wrong ways.” Why do we often respond to honest questions with dishonest answers? When we do, what narrative do we play in our minds to justify the way…

“The Life-Giving Life”

“The Life-Giving Life”

“Watch your mouth!” We only hear this phrase after a slip of the tongue. But what if we could keep hurtful and shameful words from slipping across our tongue and out of our mouth in the first place? Join us this weekend to learn how Scripture…

“The Watchful Life”

“The Watchful Life”

Great news: God gave us free will. Bad News: God gave us free will. Sin over promises and always under-delivers. Yet it has a way of sinking in and enticing us away from God and away from the abundant life he promises. As we get pulled from God…

“The Selfless Life”

“The Selfless Life”

In Colossians 3:8, we’re called to rid ourselves of anger and rage. Anger itself is not a sin—it can be a helpful emotion to catalyze change, bring accountability, and keep us from harm. However, anger as a tool is challenging to get right. Your…

“The Generous Life”

“The Generous Life”

In a single breath in Colossians 3:5, the Apostle Paul goes right from talking about sex to talking about money. This taboo topic is important to address, because, like sex, money has the power to become an idol. Jesus calls us to put our greed to…

“The Virtuous Life”

“The Virtuous Life”

Colossians 3 continues with a call to put to death sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Paul makes a big deal out of sexual sin—but not just to shame people into a chaste way of life, but because he knows sex is powerful. Few…

“The Hope-Shaped Life”

“The Hope-Shaped Life”

The opening verses of Colossians 3 give us hope. We have hope not only because our past has been swallowed up by Jesus’s death and because we are hidden and secure in his life in the present. But we have hope in the future. Without hope, all you…

“The Dead Life”

“The Dead Life”

The logic in Colossians 3:3 is clear: if you want to live a new life in Christ, you need to die to your old life. Becoming a disciple of Jesus will cost you! It requires that you deny yourself and put your desires as secondary—every moment of…

“The Mindful Life”

“The Mindful Life”

February 26, 2023

Many of us consider our thoughts and feelings as something that happen to us, as if we have no control over our thoughts. But that’s not true! You have control over your thoughts—and your thoughts have power. Colossians 3:2 directs you to “Set…

“The Risen Life”

“The Risen Life”

February 19, 2023

As Dallas Willard has said, Jesus came not just to get people into heaven, but to get heaven into people. As God’s people, we are called to a new life—a life of joy, peace, patience and gentleness. A life free of sin, shame, and selfishness…

“Partnering”

“Partnering”

January 15, 2023

What if Christlikeness became your standard operating procedure, in all circumstances? Imagine a day when you don’t have to work so hard to love God and love others—even when your plans snap loose, when you get passed up for the promotion…

“Owning”

“Owning”

January 8, 2023

How close you follow Jesus is up to you. You’re probably working to make money, working to stay healthy, working on your house, and working on your parenting. But what are you doing to stay close to Jesus? You’re busy doing important things, but…

“God FOR Us”

“God FOR Us”

November 13, 2022

It’s not a hard concept to realize that God is omnipresent—he’s so big and so powerful, and he’s everywhere, all the time. But one aspect of God’s omnipresence that you may not have considered is that he wants to make every area of your life his…

“Giving is Living”

“Giving is Living”

Does money tell you what to do? Does it dictate how you’re going to live your life? Do you put your confidence in it? Do you feel peace only if there’s enough cash in the bank or if your investments are doing well? Whether you have a little or a…

“The Wrong Question”

“The Wrong Question”

Many people, even people who aren’t followers of Jesus, know the basic plot points of the parable of the good Samaritan, and its application to live a life of compassion. But Jesus’ parable asks more from us than most people think. Jesus’ command…

“Being with Jesus”

“Being with Jesus”

January 16, 2022

We’re called in the bible to work hard and work diligently, doing everything we do for the glory of the Lord. And it’s true—everyday tasks of our busy lives can be a beautiful expression of worship, and a way to serve the Kingdom of God…

“Keep Going”

“Keep Going”

January 10, 2022

As followers of Christ, God chooses to display his character through us. As a disciple of Jesus, you are the proof through which God reveals himself. This can be a daunting challenge during seasons of unexpected suffering when darkness in your…

“Fuel Your Fire”

“Fuel Your Fire”

November 28, 2021

In Romans 12:11, Paul invites you to never be lacking in zeal, and to maintain your spiritual fervor. Maintaining your fire for Jesus isn’t always exciting—it takes work and intentionality—but is critically important. You need to maintain your…

“You Are What You Think”

“You Are What You Think”

October 24, 2021

Romans 12:2 tells us not to conform to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. It implores you to not allow the world to dictate how you act and how you feel. What if you could be free from the mentality…
