The Big Ideas

Join guest speaker Joe Mrugalski as he looks at the big ideas that Jesus taught.

What is God's Plan and Purpose for all Creation?

How does God view creation? And what is God's plan for the creation, in the midst of the sin and decay we find around us? As our questions series continues, join us as we explore where the Bible shows God is leading our creation and God's ultimate plan for all creation, including you and me.

The Armor of God (Part 2)

Tune into part two of "Armor of God" as we look at Paul's enduring metaphor for how to equip and prepare ourselves to resist all that stands in opposition to Christ as we step into the life of grace and peace that Jesus brings.

The Armor of God (Part 1)

In Ephesians, Paul invites his readers to "put on the armor of God." What is the purpose of this armor and what battle is Paul telling us to prepare for? Join us this week as we begin a two part sermon on how to put on the full armor of God so we can resist all that stands in opposition to the way of Christ.

Forgiveness

The path of forgiveness is a difficult one as we're forced to surrender our desire for revenge and getting even. Yet, it's a path that ultimately leads to greater vitality and peace in our lives. This week, we look at ancient story of forgiveness from the biblical books of Nahum and Jonah to discover how God invites and journeys with us through the healing process of forgiveness.

How do you feel God's love and peace when you don't feel worthy?

We tackle another one of your questions this week! Join us as we look at why we often don't feel worthy of God's love and how to discover more of the love and peace of God that is freely ours.

Seen. Known. Belong.

This week, Sammy Castro looks at the story of Zacchaeus to explore how he was transformed through his interaction with Jesus and how we can embody the heart of God through our interactions with others.

The Proverbs Path to Wisdom in Seven Verses (plus a few more thrown in along the way)

Week Two of our Audience Choice series is on wisdom! Why would we want wisdom? How does wisdom work? Listen as Dave offers seven ways (according to the book of Proverbs) for how we can acquire more wisdom for our lives.

"How Do I Hear God's Voice?" and a midyear Awaken assessment

We begin our Audience Questions series by exploring the question "How do I hear God's voice?" Listen as Dave offers some practical ways we can cultivate a posture of listening in order to distinguish God's voice in our lives.

Dave also offers a midyear update on Awaken and where we stand financially.

God as Father

Jesus commonly referred to Jesus as "Father." When he does so, what is being communicated about God? And what does Jesus's usage of Father reveal about the relationship with God that Jesus is inviting us into?
