Joshua 21:45Blessed and bumpy. Life's journey speeds up, slows down, enjoys joy, and suffers loss. God's promises never fail. How? Milestones modeled throughout Joshua remind us the path isn't easy, but rewarding. Our journey is more about our heart's condition than our present location. Staying the course leads to God's love, purpose, and presence in our lives.

Hebrews 3:1-6Whether you have a long-lasting faith, just beginning your journey or have yet to place your faith in Jesus, there are moments when we all struggle to believe. The struggle could be centered around our ability to receive His grace. Or perhaps it is whether God can truly heal. Maybe your struggle is with God's timing or God's justice. No matter how we struggle, we need to look toward Jesus. 

1 Samuel 16:1This message addresses the pain of grief, emphasizing that grief does not simply disappear with time. Drawing from 1 Samuel 16:1, it highlights how prolonged grief can paralyze, affect us physically and emotionally, and hinder our future. This sermon offers practical ways to counteract grief, such as filling oneself with the Holy Spirit, taking deliberate steps toward recovery, and seeking new direction in God. Additionally, it presents the acronym GRIEF as a helpful guide to understanding and managing grief, reminding us that trusting in the Lord is the ultimate source of healing and hope. 

Luke 4:14-30Jesus didn't come to make our lives comfortable. He came to make them new. And new life always begins with disruption. The Christian life, rightly understood, is not safe. It's filled with the holy danger of transformation. To follow Jesus is to embrace risk, to lose one's life in order to find it.
