How are we so confident in God's existence? Well, we can look to three things that speak to his existence: creation, the supernatural, and people's testimonies! For this Family Sunday, Pastor Jonathan gave a short word on each. Enjoy!

If only we could hear God's voice all the time, right? Just have a special set of headphones or something that tells us exactly what we should do or how we should act. But, as we learn from the story of Samuel, God's voice is tough to recognize even when it's audible! This Sunday, Jacob Wallace teaches us about the voice of God, how to recognize it, and where to look (here's a hint: it's in the Bible!). Let's tune in.

Our culture loves to paint the heroic picture, from caped crusaders to everyday legends who save the day in movies. But, let's face it, even the most glorious heroes have their faults. Join us this weekend as we explore the story of Ezekiel and his valley vision—how dry bones can be brought back to life.

Our culture loves to paint the heroic picture, from caped crusaders to everyday legends who save the day in movies. But, let's face it, even the most glorious heroes have their faults. This weekend, let's take a page from the Bible and learn from one of the greats—Abigail—as she shows us what it takes to be a true hero.

As Christians, we don't define success the way the world does. While they might value money, fame, and power, we follow Jesus' standard for success. We should understand success as accomplishing and fulfilling everything that God has placed in our hearts and given us the ability to do. And this is God's will for all people. As God tells Joshua,
"Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:8-9)

We've all experienced terrible things and know of the history of evil in the world. So how is it that God is in control? This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Rhodes teaches on the biblical doctrine of delegated authority—how humanity has been given control over the world by God's ultimate authority as its creator and owner. Let's dive in!

How do we deal with sin, fear, and the devil in our lives? Rather than procrastinating, neglecting, or simply being lazy, we need to actively deal with the powers of evil at work in our lives and the lives of those around us. Because of God's work in us, we can go after these evils and come out the victor!

When Gideon was preparing to go into battle completely outnumbered, God asked him to conduct a few tests to diminish his numbers even more. Rather than fighting with 32,000 men, Gideon had to fight with 300. But the important part about these men is that they were ready to fight. This Sunday, Jonathan asks us the same question: are we ready and prepared for the battles that we wage against spiritual strongholds?

This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Rhodes encouraged our congregation on how and when to fight for one's relationship with Jesus. Rather than becoming (or staying!) complacent, let's take our relationship with God seriously, and allow him to dictate our actions!

What does it mean to 'believe' in Jesus? Can we expect to say a single prayer and then live opposed to him? This Sunday, our outreach pastor Cris McPhetridge talks about that very thing. All the New Testament authors and Jesus himself expected Christians to live differently after their conversion. As James says,
"I will show you my faith by my deeds." (James 2:18)

In 2 Chronicles 7:12, God tells Solomon:
"I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice... Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place."
This passage speaks of Solomon's Temple, but as Christians under the New Covenant, we know that our bodies are temples for the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19-20). So, we should be a people of prayer and sacrifice unto the Lord!

Our dads do a lot... but some of the most important things they do in our families are: praying, leading by example, and having mercy. This Father's Day, Pastor Jonathan Rhodes gives Father's encouragement to be the kind of person God is calling them to be!

This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Rhodes teaches about the incredibly important role of worship in our lives. When we don't worship God with our lives... bad things happen. But when we give God ourselves in humble submission, he blesses us.

Everyone goes through difficult seasons in their lives... the question is, how do we respond? The Bible says to respond in joy, and submission, but how in the world do we do that? This Sunday, guest speaker Mike Bradley shares God's heart for us in the midst of struggle: When we ask God, "How do I get out of this?" He asks us, "What can you get out of this?"

What if John 3:16 simply left off at "God so loved the world..."? What if we didn't have Jesus's victorious life, death, and resurrection?
Our culture defines love in so many ways—I love pizza... but I also love my wife... how can we use the same word to talk about these very different things? This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Rhodes teaches on the different meanings of love and what it means to love biblically: agapé love. This type of love doesn't come to an end at having affection towards something—it requires that you actually do something about it.
"You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
(Matthew22:37)

We can sometimes find ourselves in situations where we ask, "How did I get here?" Maybe it was a choice we made years ago, maybe just yesterday. But this Sunday Cris McPhetridge—our Outreach Pastor—takes us through having obedience, so that we're ready for seasons of confidence and boldness on our way back.

Eugene Peterson once said, "The essential thing 'in heaven and earth' is that there should be long obedience in the same direction".
Obedience is difficult though. In busy schedules and distracted minds, often the first thing that suffers is our obedience to God's will. But by following the Word and the Spirit, and using wisdom, we can become people of obedience and grow in our relationship with God.

We must be people of the Spirit. Through surrendering to God, listening to the Spirit, and following his lead, we can activate the Spirit in our lives. From the very start of creation, God made us to be in constant relationship with the Spirit—it's what makes us alive.
"the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being" (Genesis 2:7)
Let's learn how to be people of the Spirit together!
