We all have voices in our heads. Our own thoughts, our own fears, and our own desires. The things other people have said are sometimes things we still carry with us. Scripture also teaches that God speaks…but so does our enemy. So how do you know which voice you're hearing? How do you know when it's God, when it's the enemy, and when it's just you? This Sunday, "GHOST STORIES" continues with “The Voices in Your Head,” and we're going to get really practical about learning to recognize the voice of God.

Jesus told His disciples something that must have sounded impossible: “It is best for you that I go away.” How could anything be better than having Jesus physically standing beside you? In "The Forgotten Advantage," we begin "GHOST STORIES: Life With the Holy Spirit" by discovering who the Holy Spirit really is, why Jesus said His coming was to our advantage, and what changes when we stop treating Him like an obscure Christian doctrine and begin learning to live every day aware of the presence of God within us.

It happens. The loss. The disappointment. The unanswered prayer. We know that God holds the victory in the end, but so often, life's circumstances distort our view of that victory. Sometimes we find ourselves knocked down in the spiritual war amidst the trials of this life. This Sunday, we will be talking about faith in the middle of our questions and diving deeper into the idea that pain is often a part of our story, but it doesn't have to become our purpose.

This Sunday, we finish our "Things Unseen" series with "The Unseen Truth: There Is a Victory."We've talked about the battle, the enemy, and the unseen world around us, but none of it matters if we forget how the story ends. When the battle feels overwhelming, we need to remember what Jesus has already accomplished. When we struggle to believe the victory is real, we need to also remember that God never intended us to fight alone. The enemy would love to isolate you, exhaust you, and convince you that darkness is winning. In a few days, we're reminding each other that it isn't. The victory may still be unseen, but it is already secure.

Who is Satan, really? What does the Bible actually teach about him? Is he the “worship leader of heaven” that many of us have always heard about? Why is he called “the accuser”? And perhaps most importantly… how does he actually work in our lives today?

Most of us spend our lives preparing for the dangers we can see while giving very little thought to the battle Scripture says is taking place all around us. So, is there really a spiritual war? Together we'll see what the Bible teaches about the unseen realm, why so many Christians live spiritually passive lives, and how God wants to open our eyes to a reality that has been there all along.

Song of Songs is one of the most poetic and powerful books in the Bible, giving us a picture of love the way God designed it…not rushed, distorted, or shaped by culture. In this 6-week Renewed Mind Bible Study, we will look at relationships, desire, identity, communication, and lasting commitment through the lens of Scripture, discovering what it looks like to build love that is healthy, honoring, and enduring.

Unity sounds great…until real people get involved. Different backgrounds, opinions, and preferences can pull us apart, even when we share the same faith. In this opening message of Uncommon Unity: When the World Divides, We Build, we look at the foundation that makes real unity possible...and it's not agreement, it's identity. Jesus didn't just hope we would be one…He prayed for it. That kind of unity begins when we understand who we are and whose we are. So before we can live as one, we have to see ourselves as belonging to Him.

This is one of the most famous parts in Ecclesiastes…“for everything there is a season.” But what sounds poetic on the surface carries a deeper struggle underneath: Control.The Teacher begins to address something we all feel at times: life does not move according to our timing. Some seasons feel right, others feel confusing, and many feel completely out of our control. In this session, we will look at what it means to trust God with the seasons we would choose differently, and how learning to release control may actually be the doorway to real peace.

In this opening session of our Ecclesiastes study, we confront one of life's heaviest questions: What actually gives life meaning? The Teacher begins with brutal honesty, describing life as “vapor”...real but fleeting, and difficult to grasp or control. As we look at the cycles of life, the restless search for satisfaction, and the limits of human wisdom, we begin to see why so many pursuits leave us empty. B,ut this honesty is not meant to discourage us; it is meant to lead us toward true wisdom. Ecclesiastes challenges us to examine what we are chasing and pushes us to rediscover the true meaning that is not “under the sun,” but under the rule of God.

In this message from the "Stop in the Name of Love" series, we explore how reactive habits tend to damage our closest relationships and why love requires intentionality rather than impulsiveness. Through the story of Jesus and Peter in the garden, we learn the importance of preparing our hearts ahead of time and guarding our responses when emotions run high. This sermon challenges us to slow down, tend to our inner life, and choose thoughtful, Christlike responses in our marriages, friendships, and families so that love has space to lead instead of reaction taking control.
