In our final week we commit to walking anew in the way of Jesus. Psalm 51 illustrates that repentance isn’t supposed to be a circular process where we stay stuck, but it is designed to turn us around so that we can walk in a new direction. Through practical steps and accountability we can allow God to shape our hearts, minds and lives in a new way. Our series is called ‘Repentance + Renewal: re-align your heart with God’s heart.’

Throughout April we will explore the call o...

Our series is called ‘Repentance + Renewal: re-align your heart with God’s heart.’ You can find the prac...

In Matthew chapters 6-10, one thing stands out about Jesus’ ministry more than any other thing. He healed people. Miraculously, instantaneously, sometimes up close, sometimes at a distance, sometimes with a word, sometimes with a prayer, sometimes with a physical touch or action. Jesus healed people. All kinds of illnesses, disabilities, afflictions, oppressions. Jesus healed anyone, from anything and everything. Why did he heal pe...

Temptation isn’t just about being tempted to do the wrong thing. Sometimes it’s about being tempted to do a normal thing in the wrong way. And temptation isn’t always about being tempted to sin. Sometimes it’s about testing or proving something as valid. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness the devil was trying to get him to do good, or normal, things but in a sinful way. Instead, Jesus stood up against the temptation and was p...

The world screams for our attention, time, and energy. Tech notifies us, beeps at us, even tells us it misses us. Advertising wants to make us feel guilty, not enough, not complete, and the media runs on fear and anxiety. The world wants to form us into what it wants us to be. They have a plan for our discipleship. They are intentional and very good at it. It is not a question of whether we are disciples. The answer

Our faith isn’t perfect. We haven’t achieved everything. We are still a work in progress. Rather than resting on the past or holding on to what we have, let’s put everything on the line again for Jesus. Brothers and sisters, as I said, I know I have not arrived; but there’s one thing I am doing: I’m leaving my old life behind, putting everything on the line for this mission.Philippians 3:13 (The Voice) Our mission statement is stil...
