Don't Carry the Ox | Tim Nussbaumer

Sheep, Shepherds, and Shadows | Easy Like Sunday Morning
Psalm 23 is the most popular song in Scripture because it provides us with peace. And while the images in the song are relaxing, the peace being offered has little to do with green grass and quiet waters. It has much more to do with what we see, or who we see, in the shadows.

Is Sleeping Spiritual? | Easy Like Sunday Morning
Believe it or not, God actually cares how we sleep. He has outlined the way for us to sleep in peace...and it has nothing to do with the perfect pillow or melatonin.

Easy to Open but Hard to Receive | Easy Like Sunday Morning
God's free gift of grace should be the easiest gift we have ever received. But as much as we love the the idea of grace, living by grace has proven to be a challenge. So what did Jesus mean when He said, "Come to me all who are weary and burdened...for my yoke is easy?"

Loving God or a Just God? | The Hard Things
If God is patient, merciful, and quick to forgive, the real-life story of Ananias and Sapphira is hard to understand. How can God be loving and just? Join us as we start our new series covering the hard parts of Scripture.

Why So Many Rules? | The Names of God
God gave His people hundreds and hundreds of rules to follow. But why? To flex HIs muscles, to protect His people, or to fulfill a bigger purpose? Join us for this last message in our Names of God series.

Testing the God who is Testing Me
Maybe you have heard the phrase “The Lord will provide.” Did you know that phrase is also one of God’s names? But just because that is His Name does not mean He always provides everything for everyone? This week we uncover the truth behind God’s promise to provide.

How Was Good Friday Good? | Road to Resurrection

Betrayed | Road to Resurrection
Few things hurt worse than being betrayed by someone you care about. Someone you thought cared about you. Someone with whom you made memories and shared experiences. It feels unforgivable. But it happened to Jesus, too. And He showed us how to respond.

What God Hates | Road to Resurrection
When Jesus flipped over tables, and made a scene, in the Temple, His followers must have wondered if they knew Him as well as they thought they did. When we read the Bible and relive that moment, maybe we think the same thing. While it is true that God is love, there are also things that God…

Cocky or Confident? | The Life of Jesus

The Cost of Following Jesus | The Life of Jesus
When Jesus invited His first disciples to follow Him, they did not hesitate. But did they know what they were signing up for? At some point they came to the realization that it was about more than learning what Jesus knew. It was about doing what Jesus did. And that would come with a price. In…
