All of us experience the unsettled, anxious feelings that life in a fallen world brings. At times these feelings can be overwhelming, and they can take hold of us so strongly that we can hardly put one foot in front of the other. But the Bible has a great deal to tell us about fear and anxiety, and it is very good news.

We are going to face trials and tribulations, a few really big decisions, and a lot of small ones. My prayer is that you and I would remember that for those of us who believe in the power of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus — we are to view our lives in light of eternity. We set our eyes not on things this world would offer us, but on those things that carry eternal weight.

We see God's goodness and love most clearly in His Son, Jesus. In Him, God has offered us the good gift of Himself. Through Him, we have received forgiveness of our sins, adoption into His family, and the promise through His Holy Spirit that He will dwell with us forever. Because of this, we can trust that He is always good, loves us, and desires what's best for us. All of this He has proven at the cross.

Our first parents, Adam and Eve, believed the serpent's lie that they would be like God if they ate the forbidden food. But why? They functionally believed that God did not love them, care for them or that God would provide for them. So, they took matters into their own hands, thinking they knew better than God. I don't think the root of my sin is much different.

Most Christians know and believe that corporate prayer is a vital aspect of our faith and that practicing it in the context of small groups (or missional communities) is important, but we may need some help knowing just how to get started.

“Is the band going to play a song I know?”
“Am I going to be the only one not singing?”
“Will others see that I don’t know this song?”

I know those thoughts and worries because I have been in those shoes!

We dream of seeing women transformed by the gospel, growing in discipleship to Jesus through His Word, and sent out to transform their homes, churches, city, and the world.

We are and will continue doing the best we can to protect your kids when they are in our care. But there is a giant piece to this plan of protecting our kids, and that is YOU, the parent.

In Matthew 4, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by Satan. What I never noticed before, was how Jesus’ response to Satan might change how I prepare to fight temptations in my own life.

For some, the Christian life is an anxious and lonely one. Their "church" experiences, family realities, or circumstances don't necessarily reflect what is true of them in Jesus.

If you’re like me, we often sing along to worship songs but we don’t pause to ponder their meaning. The lyrics of “I See A King” (feat. Liz Vice) teach beautiful truths about King Jesus. Read more about how the words of this song cause us to rejoice in our good and mighty King!

When I finally agreed to take a look at the property, it was overwhelming, and I don’t mean in a good way. The building is huge and in its current layout it is one patient room after another after another after another. I didn’t even look at the whole building. It was too much and I couldn’t see any possibility for us there.
