There is something about life that leaves us wanting more. We can never quite seem to get to that place where we are totally satisfied. What is the secret to true fulfillment and how do we get it?

It is very easy to feel stuck in life and faith not feeling like we are making as much progress as we should. What are the things we can do to grow in all the ways that God desires for us?

Do you live your life more from your location or your position? Because of Jesus' supremacy and sufficiency we can clearly answer that question as we discover who we are created by and created for! 

Reputations are interesting in that everyone is known for something. Sometimes it's a special skill, an aspect of our personality, or one single event that can define what people think about us. What is the reputation God wants you to have with the people around you but also with Him?

We have a special opportunity to make a huge impact in the lives of kids in another part of the world! What might happen if we step out and see what God does?

If you really want to experience everything God wants for your life, there is one single job you absolutely must do.

We talk about believing in God and sometimes that can be very hard when we don't see the things that God says. How can we experience the full benefit of belief in our own lives?

There are certain encounters that are special: Seeing a celebrity in person, coming home to your family after a long trip, or connecting with an old friend. As great as these encounters are, there is one ultimate encounter that changed the world forever and has the power to change your life.

When we have an encounter with Jesus and walk in his power, what's next? How do we make sure we don't hold onto what God has given to us? 

God wants to show up and move in our lives but are we doing anything that may be causing us to miss Him? How do we make sure we do not miss God when He encounters our lives?

What does God want me to do? This is sometimes a very hard question to answer. How can we get clarity for the direction of our lives in our every day decisions and also for the destiny God has for us?

One single encounter with God can change your life forever. What can you expect when God intersects with your life?

We all have had to take tests throughout life whether for school or to get a driver's license or many other things. Tests are often unpleasant and stressful. While we don't usually enjoy tests, there is one test that God loves to take and He wants us to give him the test.

There is one journey that most people never set out to take but has the power to change your life more than anything else. This is an uphill climb that is with every single step and sacrifice.

Every single one of us has moments in life where we fear if there will be enough. Will there be enough for the bills, the unexpected expense, the downpayment, or life in general. What promises do we have about God meeting our needs and what do we need to do to access them?

There are new levels that God wants us to reach in our faith. If we are going to access them, there is one critical obstacle we must overcome.

Join us for Guest Speaker, Daniel Grothe

We have heard the phrase "It's not how you start but how you finish." There are some areas of life you just have to cross the finish line on if you are going to live the life you were made for. What does it take to finish well in your faith?

No one makes it through life without racking up some loses. We make mistakes, trip up and fall short. Even in our worst defeats, God wants to lead us to the destiny He has for us.

There are a lot of times in life where you feel like you are just spinning your wheels. You don't see any progress or forward movement and it is frustrating. What is the one thing you can to do ensure you get to exactly where God wants you to be?

It is very easy to get stuck and stagnant in life. We settle into a routine that leaves our lives feeling stale. What can we do to make sure we move forward into everything we were meant for?

We all want to advance and move forward in life, but there are a few pieces of essential equipment you need if you are going to be prepared for what God has planned for you.

We were not made to stagnate and be stuck. God wants you to move forward and step into the plans and purposes He has for you. How can you take the territory that God has already prepared?

There is a difference between believing in God and truly knowing God. But how can you know someone you can't see? 

Life can get dark at times. We face sickness, job loss, relational drama and so many other situations that can make it easy to lose hope. What does the darkest moment in history show us about a light that always breaks through?

Life is filled with difficult decisions and unclear direction. We don't always know where we should go or what we should do. Even with the confusion that life brings, there is one thing we absolutely must see clearly if we want to see our lives clearly.

What lengths would you go to for the people or person you love the most? Would you go to those same lengths for your relationship with God? Our lives are measured by how we love. And love won't fail because God makes a way. 

Why does it feel like hope can sometimes feel like making a wish? Wouldn't it be better if hope was something practical or something real that you could hold on to? Perhaps we have had the wrong definition of hope the entire time.

There are many times in life when it feels like our faith does not work. We believe God to move or show up and then are left disappointed when it does not work out. How can we develop a faith that never fails no matter what we face?

Our leaders often fail us. Whether they are parents or politicians, our leaders make promises they fail to keep and offer hope they fail to fulfill. While every king does fall short, there is one King coming who fulfills every promise he has ever made and more.

Election seasons may be the most divided seasons in our nation. As our world continues to fracture more and more, is it possible for a group of people to show the world something it does not have but desperately needs?

We live in one of the most politically divided times in our country's history. How should Christians think about their own political engagement and participation?

  Anywhere you look in our culture today, there are opportunities for worry and anxiety. It could be the economy, work, or an upcoming election. We are commanded to free our lives from all fear but how do we actually do that?

Many of us can remember the first band we fell in love with or that one song that we love to listen to on repeat. Music has always been a big part of the human experience. But how does God use music to change our lives and even the world?

On a regular basis, we encounter people who have very different opinions and perspectives from us. These encounters can sometimes go from discussions to full blown debates. How can we engage people we disagree with or who may even be wrong in a way that ultimately wins?

There is a lot of hate in our world whether it be in politics, our social media feeds or even our own families. What is going on and how do we fix it?

Politics may be the most controversial and contentious aspect of our culture right now and it can feel like there is no way to win the game we find ourselves in. What does Jesus have to say about politics and how might it change the way we engage the politics of our day?

Choosing to follow Jesus will put you at direct odds with the culture around you in real ways. Instead of seeing this as a problem, how can we use this as an opportunity to engage the world in ways that bring real change?

Everyone has an idea of what the dream life looks like. At the same time, we often go looking for the life we want in the wrong places. What is the life we were made to live and how can we step into it today?

Do you fear man? Or do you fear God? This weekend we welcome Jason Soderstrom as our guest speaker to unpack what the fear of God is, and how it should transform your life and what others think of you.

A lot of our daily lives can feel very routine and mundane. What we may not realize is that the seemingly random and little coincidences of our lives may be our biggest opportunities to make an impact in the world.

While most days we may have a handle on things, there are times when life gets out of control. What is the one thing we must absolutely make sure we do not lose to keep our lives on track?

There are seasons in life that can be brutally hard. These are the times we want to quit. When you start to understand the story God is writing with your life, you have every reason to trust Him and look forward to the future.

Stories are a huge part of the human experience. Whether it's sitting down with a book, watching a movie, or just hearing someone share, we love stories. Sometimes our own life story can feel confusing, stuck, or just plain meaningless. While a lot of life may feel that way, what if there is much more to our story that we even realize? 

We welcome guest speaker, Pastor Tim Celek, and celebrate our last week of going through the book of Philippians. Philippians 4:14-19: Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Life is turbulent. There is so much unexpected chaos that can enter our lives at any given more and it can create a lot of worry and anxiety. The Bible gives us insight into how we can defeat anxiety once and for all.

There are so many good things to enjoy in life whether it be a house, car, trip or even a nice restaurant. Even with all the good things of life, we are often left feeling a little dissatisfied and wondering if something is still missing. How do we find true and lasting satisfaction in our lives?

What is the difference between being a Bold Christian and a Normal Christian? How you live now can be impacted by what you believe about your future. 

Revival is a hot word right now. When you think of Revival, what do you think about? Maybe you thought many people were coming to Jesus, maybe you thought of the Jesus Revolution Movie, maybe it was something historic that you connect this word to. 

Sometimes it's difficult to enjoy the ride with God when you hit bumps along the way or simply run out of gas. But Paul encourages us to press on towards the goal to win the prize! How do we do that?
