Every day, we find ourselves at forks in the road and have to choose which path to proceed down. Many are referring to this election and the outcomes afterward as a big fork in the road for our …

As people of faith, how are we supposed to respond to the mean people we encounter? Do we return mean with mean? After all, "getting even" sounds really nice. And surely we shouldn't just tolerate meanness. That doe…

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. We all have regrets about things we've done, decisions we've made, or people we've hurt. Sometimes by accident. Sometimes with intention.

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. “I'd give anything for a moment of peace!” How many of us have said that? We just want a little peace from the stress, from the chaos, from the pressure, from the kids, from work. We all get to that place where even the strongest among us want a break.

Tap/click here for the sermon reflection guide! Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.” Put simply, as we seek to cultivate a life with God where love will grow, forgiveness has the potential to be either a springboard or a hindrance for us. Yet, it is more often talked about than…

Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Love is a very important word in our vocabulary. Jesus seems to proclaim it’s the most important word of all, and the Apostle Paul lists it first among the nine Fruits of the Spirit. But what does it really mean? Is it a feeling? Is it an action? Is it both? If love is so important, we better understa…

In our new series, Cultivate, we've been reminded by Scripture that we can’t make the fruits of the Holy Spirit grow in our lives; only God can do that!

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. What a list! Who wouldn’t want a little more of any of those blessings in our lives? Who wouldn’t want more of any of those blessings in our community? It turns out that God longs to bless creation—not just a little—but with an abundance of every one of thos…
