If we have properly prepared our hearts (soil), it's time for God's Word to arrive. But sometimes the preparation, and the arrival of the Word come in unusual ways. Follow Elijah's encounter with God and the One Word process to see what a difference there is between a good word and a God word!

Some people choose a single-word resolution to live by in the New Year. It helps provide clarity and focus. As Jesus followers, we have the most powerful WORD ever. How can we ensure that we let THE WORD dwell in us? How will life be different as a result?

When God says Jesus will be with us, He means it literally. Jesus isn't just with us "in spirit," He's with us in the everday chaos of life and He desires to make a home in us. If Christ is in us, we'll never be spiritually homeless (aka, restless souls). Come and explore ways to bring the Presence of Christ into your daily life.

God's joy is found in faith, not feelings. No matter what's going on around us, we can experience Joy because of what's going on in our relationship with God. Come and learn from the Psalmist how we can sow seeds, even in sorrow, that will reap joy.

How can we be restored? And why is that important? Being restored brings us back to the beginning; to the creation God intended. Our best self-help efforts can only make improvements, but God can make things new through the power of restoration!

Here's the bad news: we cannot save ourselves. But here's the good news: God can, and already has saved us. Come and explore why Jesus is so essential and experience the depth of His love for us. This is why He came to us, and this is why He wants to live in us.

Why even bother with grattiude? This world doesn't always give us things to be grateful for... so good thing we're different! It turns out there are great benefits to gratitude as a follower of Jesus. In fact, gratitude might just fuel a focus and a love that gives us the best way to communicate the love of Christ to the world around us!

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your walk with Christ? Maybe it looks good, but it just isn't working? Tune in and hear about the secret ingredient that is readily available, but rarely used to let Peace rule in our hearts.

When it comes to gratitude, we have a couple of choices. We can either live with ingratitude, or we can live IN gratitude. Why does that matter? Only one gets us to the finish line! Come and explore living IN gratitude with us!

What sets the church apart from every other institution of learning? It should be all about Jesus. But are we as complete as we could be in our understanding of Jesus? And what happens when we interact with our culture with an incomplete understanding?

When it comes to serving, are we really serving others, or our own need to either please God or fulfill expectations? How can we develop a strategy that allows us to truly serve others in a way that develops them as individuals and as Christ's children?

As society’s attitudes toward the church grow dimmer and participation wanes, this four-week series helps us reframe our experience, expectations, and engagement as churchgoers. Scenes from the early church, taken from the book of Acts, challenge us not just to go to church but to be the church.

One of the best ways to resolve conflicts when things get heated is to stop and ask, "What do I really want out of this conversations or situation?" But if we want to honor Jesus, perhaps a better question is, "What does God really want for me/us out of this conversation?" What does that look like in daily life?

In every conflict, we face a choice as we deal with what is before us. Why should we give grace to those who don't deserve it? Perhaps a look in the mirror will help influence our choice in what we do next! The best thing we can do is to not block the view of God. How do we do that?

How can we honor God from all sides of issues? If we can all do that, we can also likely resolve whatever comes between us.
