Don't you wish that God wrote proof of His existence on a neon sign somewhere, so no one could miss it? Louie Konopka takes us on a journey through several different passages of Scripture to show us that God truly is right here with us. If we look for Him, we can't miss Him!

Most days do you feel like you can tackle life on your own, or do you regularly hit your knees in prayer? Don Pearson looks at another parable in Luke that contrasts two people's prayers, as he invites us to see our desperate need for the Savior.

What prayers have you stopped praying? Are there things you've brought to God for years that you feel like He still hasn't answered; or maybe He hasn't answered the way you had hoped He would? Don Pearson continues our Storytellers series in Luke with a parable that encourages us to not lose heart as we bring our heart's desires to the Lord in prayer.

Do you find yourself asking God more often for what you want, or thanking Him for what He has already given you? Don Pearson jumps back into our Storytellers series in Luke with a story that highlights a characteristic that should mark our lives.

As our culture continues to become more and more socially isolated, the biblical model of community seems more and more foreign. Don Pearson continues our Storytellers series with three of Jesus' teachings that invite us to pay attention to ourselves so we can better serve and love others.

How can we live in a world of chaos, suffering, and disillusionment with hope, joy, and peace? The closing paragraphs of Luke's gospel start with the disciples in the chaos and disillusionment of Jesus' death and end with them filled with joy and worship. What makes the difference? In our last week of The Greatest Story series, Don Pearson unpacks these paragraphs and points our hearts to the answer.

Have you ever heard a story too good to be true, then found out that it WAS true? This Easter Don Pearson shares the best part of The Greatest Story. What seemed like nonsense to a band of discouraged disciples, set the world on fire with the hope of the resurrection!

When Jesus entered Jerusalem it was to shouts of praise! The people called Him King and cried out, “Hosanna! Save us!” How quickly their shouts turned to “Crucify Him!” This week, Don Pearson looks at this stark change and invites us to focus not on the crowd, but on our Savior and the love He displayed for us on the cross.

How much would you endure to help someone? In part two of The Greatest Story, Don Pearson explores the excruciating reality of the coming hours for Jesus, as He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He had every reason to walk away, but He didn't. He faced it all for you.

The final week leading up to Jesus' crucifixion began with crowds welcoming Him as a king. Don Pearson kicks off a 5-week Easter series exploring the significance of this moment as Jesus turned His focus to what lay ahead.

Living like Jesus means living counterculture. Everywhere you look people are stepping over each other to get ahead, competing with their neighbors to have the best stuff, and cutting corners to achieve the “easy life.” Don Pearson looks at another story Jesus shared with His disciples that helps us better understand what He means that “The first shall be last.”

God wants our hearts! We sometimes go through the motions, but miss the point. Don Pearson looks at an interaction between Jesus and the Pharisees in Luke and reminds us that loving God and loving others, isn't just about following rules. It first requires humility and repentance.

It's hard to look in the mirror and see our faults and shortcomings. Yet to truly grow as a Christian, we need to humbly confess our sins, repent, and accept the love that God so freely gives. Don Pearson examines the response of the older brother in the second half of The Prodigal Son story to help us see what it takes to truly know the love of the Father.

Last week, we learned about the joy when a lost coin and a lost sheep are found. How much greater is the joy when a lost son is found! This week Trevor Hunt focus on the third part of this parable and invite us into the celebration!

Have you ever found something that you thought was gone for good–maybe a set of keys or ring that has sentimental value? Steve High shares an incredible parable in our Storytellers series, that reminds us just how deeply we are loved and about the JOY God has every single time someone who is lost, is found!

Perseverance pays off! If you give up halfway up the mountain, you'll miss the amazing view from the top. Tim Blazer reminds us in our next section of Luke, that following Jesus is not easy. We must count the cost, prepare our hearts, and remember that we don't walk the road alone. The cost of discipleship is great, but the reward is worth it!

When was the last time you were invited to dinner? How about an eternal dinner? Don Pearson opens the next parable in our Storytellers series, inviting us to have a heart of humility, hospitality, and hope in response to God's invitation. How will you respond?

Jesus' heart is for us! He endured the cross because of His confidence in the Heavenly Father's plan and because of His great compassion for us. Don Pearson continues our series in Luke with a story of an encounter Jesus had with a Pharisee, and encourages us to follow Jesus' example as we live on mission for Him.

The topic of Hell is neither popular nor comfortable. As Don Pearson continues our series in Luke he helps us discover how even something so challenging points to the love and open arms of Jesus.

What do a seed, yeast, a viral video, or a small fire all have in common with the gospel? Don Pearson looks at two parables in our next section of Luke and encourages us to be diligent in spreading the gospel. Our work is not in vain.

Have you ever had to make a choice to do what was right, instead of what was expected? Don Pearson opens the next section in our Luke series and shares a story where Jesus had to make that exact choice in the midst of controversy.

Invite a friend and come lift your candle high, as we sing, dance, and worship Jesus Christ our Lord!

What keeps you up at night? Are you worried about your future, your kids' future, or maybe the state of the world? Trent Heaton jumps back into our Luke Storytellers Series and helps us trade our worldly perspective for a heavenly one.

The holidays are are good time to slow down and reflect on God's provision. Sounds good, right? Yet, if we were honest, how often do we believe that what we have or have accomplished, is because of OUR hard work? Are we storing up treasures here instead of focusing on God's Kingdom? Don Pearson look at a parable in Luke to help us keep the right perspective.

Prayer can be confusing. How do we know if we are praying for the right things? Do we pray too often or not enough? Are our prayers aligned with God's will? As Don Pearson continues our Storyteller series, they'll dig deeper in Luke to help us understand more about coming to God with our hearts.

Are you sad, frustrated, or overwhelmed with something in your life right now? Have you prayed about it? As Don Pearson continues our Storytellers series in Luke, he invites us to bring our needs to God in prayer. Even if God chooses not to answer the way we hope, we will still be secure in our loving Father's arms.

Who has hurt you? Who do you distrust? Are you at war with anyone in your heart? That person is your neighbor. As Don Pearson explores the parable of the Good Samaritan, we'll see one of the most radical calls on our lives as Christinas–we are to love even our enemies. Jesus loved first and we are to “do likewise.”

The pressures of life! As soon as you read that, what came to mind? Maybe you have one big thing that consumes you or maybe a long list of them that keeps you from engaging more fully in our mission to always make disciples. Don Pearson continues our series in Luke and invites us to follow Jesus' example to step away to pray and commune with God, so we can be refreshed and ready.

Life is about choices. One of the biggest ones we face each day requires us to decide if we will serve others or serve ourselves. Don Pearson explores the next section in our Luke series and invites us to consider what it means to pick up our cross daily and follow Jesus.

When you are in need, who do you call–your parents, your best friend, or do you cry out to Jesus? How do you feel when someone sees your need and responds? As Don Pearson continues our Storyteller series in Luke, he shares the story of Jesus' miraculous provision, the impact His compassion had, and encourages us to follow Jesus' example and show compassion to others.

Do you find yourself praying for a miracle? How do you respond when the answer is different than what you desired? In part two of this teaching, Don Pearson continues to dive into the true purpose of miracles; exploring their place in our faith-walk today and reminding us that we have been given hope, not from the possibility of a miracle alone, but from the God of Miracles Himself.

Jesus' ministry was marked by miracles. There are still miracles today. Have you experienced one personally? Have you prayed for one that never happened? Don Pearson explores our next section in Luke and reminds us of the ultimate miracle–the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that saves us from our sin.

Who is Jesus to you? Is He your Lord and Savior or just a legend with no real impact on your life? Don Pearson continues our series in Luke and invites us to see who Jesus really is, as well as the power He has over sin and darkness.

When life gets tough, where do you turn? Do you rely on your own abilities or knack to solve problems? Or do you turn to Christ? Don Pearson continues our Storyteller Series in Luke and reminds us that we can trust Jesus, knowing that He will either calm the storm or sit with us in the boat as life crashes around us.

Those who have ears, let them hear! Sounds easy enough, right? Yet there are so many things in our lives that can keep us from hearing or seeing the good news God has for us. Don Pearson relaunches our Storyteller series in Luke with a teaching on the parable of the soils, and helps us open our hearts to receive God's gifts.

The Bible says a lot about money and most of it is in complete opposition to what the world wants us to believe. Don Pearson uses Scriptures from 1 Timothy and Ecclesiastes to help us sort through the noise and desire more of the right things as we work to honor God with whatever we do.

How many of us looked at the calendar and gave a little sigh of relief knowing that we have Monday off? Yet God's plan for work is crucial in how He created, calls, and provides for us. Don Pearson opens the book of Colossians and explores the ways we can bring glory and honor to God through our work.

The world screams for our attention every day and according to a recent study, 90% of what it is screaming though the media is negative. It's so easy to get down or depressed if we keep our eyes on the world. Instead, Steve High encourages us in our summer series to stay focused on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

When the anxieties and trials of life come, where do you turn? Don Pearson shares a lesson from Paul as we close out our summer series, A Cross Shaped Life, and looks at the invitation we have to not be anxious, but take everything to God in prayer and find peace in Christ Jesus.

What is the “good life” and how do you know if you are living it? The world's answer looks a lot different than what Paul calls us to in Philippians 3. Don Pearson unpacks what it looks like to leave everything behind, for the sake of knowing Christ!

Any famous athlete or musician can tell you that talent can only take you so far. You have to invest, day after day, into becoming great. Tim Blazer continues our summer series and shows us that the Christian life is not so different. You are saved the moment you accept Christ as your Savior, but it takes diligent discipline to transform our old lives into ones that look more like the greatest of all time, Jesus.

What comes to mind when you think about humility? Is it a person in your life who showed you grace when you wronged them, a boss who shared credit for a new product, or maybe a famous athlete who gave glory to God for their success? Don Pearson continues our summer series in Philippians and points us to the greatest example of humility ever known, Jesus Christ.

What does it look like to allow the gospel to shape your life? What if your life doesn't look like you expected? Trevor Hunt kicks off our summer series, A Cross Shaped Life in the book of Philippians to help us rest, refocus, and examine how Christ is calling us to live.

Sometimes the last thing we want to do during a trial or difficult time is praise God. Tim Blazer shows us how praising through the Psalms reorients our hearts under God's authority and gives us a biblical framework for understanding ourselves as we live in this world created by our loving God.

When is the last time that you felt strong, overwhelming emotion over God's gracious, undeserved, and life-altering love for you? Brett Bellamy continues our Storyteller's series in Luke and points us to how understanding the depth of mercy we have received, supercharges our passion for Christ and energizes our worship of Him in all that we do.
