It is easy to treat faith like a spectator sport; showing up on Sunday, slipping into the back row where it feels safe, listening to a message, and heading home alone. But God never intended for us to live on mission by ourselves or consume faith in isolation. From Jesus gathering His disciples around a dinner table to the early church in Acts meeting both in temple courts and around kitchen tables, spiritual growth has always happened in community.

When life hits hard, a text of support is nice, but it makes all the difference when someone shows up to be with you. When it seems like God is silent, we wonder whether he is this kind of present in our lives or just watching from a distance. God didn't just write his story from afar; he stepped into history to be with his people. Let's consider the creator who came to his creation and how we can continue to experience his presence still today.

Some walls that are broken down seem impossible to rebuild. We're vulnerable and defenseless, broken down and things seem impossible to rebuild. But God has done the impossible, and he can do it again. Come see how God rebuilt Jerusalem and rebuilt his people at the same time

After fleeing slavery and finding freedom, Harriet Tubman risked everything to walk back into danger to free others. It would have been easier for her to stay comfortable and safe in the North, but God gave her a greater purpose. Harriet wasn't the only one; let's learn from Esther's story how God places his people exactly where he wants them for his purposes.

brought them there. Through Haggai and Zechariah, God called them back to Himself: “Return to me.” The Temple, the return from exile, and the sacrifices ultimately point to Jesus, who brings sinners home to God. Home is not ultimately a place we build for ourselves; God Himself is our home.

After decades of exile, God stirred King Cyrus and His people to return to Jerusalem. Yet once home, opposition and comfort distracted them from the God who brought them there.

In 1962, one man's quiet refusal kept the world from nuclear war – and he never got credit for it. Daniel and his friends faced the same kind of choice: Stand alone with no guarantee of rescue, or go along to survive. What does it cost to do the right thing when not one's watching, and no one may ever know?

Storms can his without warning, devastating everything in their path. Other storms can be seen coming, giving us time to prepare and even shelter in place. One day, the famous prophet Jeremiah experienced a storm he long saw coming but was powerless to stop. Standing in the ashes of his ruined city, he wept and worshipped. He knew that weeping may remain for the night, but joy comes with the morning. Join us this Sunday to learn how to worship in the storm.

Have you ever gotten a little too comfortable? Maybe you've been running hard and just needed a break. Or maybe laziness has become a little too normal. Whatever the reason, we must be careful of how long we rest. God calls us to rest, but He also calls us to work (Exodus 20:9-10). God has a mission for each of us, but if we stray from God's will and start to lean into our own, we can find ourselves in very dangerous territory.

When we need a repairman, some of us search for a YouTube video and figure it out ourselves. But some things you break, you just can't fix yourself – no matter how hard you try to DIY. Israel had run itself into the ground, and even their best kings couldn't undo two hundred years of damage. DIY wasn't enough, but God wasn't finished with Israel. Together, let's discover God's repair plan that's still impacting us today.

Sometimes receiving bad news ends up being a really good thing. Like a diagnosis while there is still time for treatment, or the dashboard light alerting you to a problem before the engine is ruined. In the same way God's messengers often bring bad news early enough for there to still be hope of rescue. Join us on Sunday to learn about God's Messengers and what God might have to say to you.

Every life is represented by a tiny dash between two dates on a gravestone, but the influence of that dash can last for generations. The lives of Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, and David remind us that our choices never affect only us. Compromise leaves behind a legacy of brokenness, while faithfulness leaves behind a legacy of blessing. The good news is that through Jesus—the true and faithful King—we are no longer bound to repeat the failures of those who came before us.

Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Every person wrestles with these questions. The best way to find your purpose in life is to understand The Story. God's Story woven through history. From Adam to Jesus to Paul to you. Understanding The Story will help you understand your story.

Have you ever found yourself drifting away from what you believe will make you successful? It rarely starts with a massive problem, but rather with small, unnoticed distractions. Solomon was the wisest, wealthiest king in Israel's history, a man who literally had it all. Yet, he still drifted from the very God who gave him everything. Join us as we look at Solomon's life, discovering how to anchor our lives against the drifting winds of success.

Are you humble? Be careful, if you say “yes” pride might creep in. Humility is elusive, once you think you've arrived you need to start over. Yet it is still possible to be humble. We discover in the life of David someone whose beginnings were truly humble. Come learn the true value of humility.
