People call Thomas "the doubter," but Jesus saw something more. This Sunday, we'll talk about what it means to be found by Jesus, known by his scars, and called to believe with your whole life. Because you're not what people call you. You're who Jesus knows you to be.
Everyone loves Jesus on Sunday, when the crowd is cheering. But what happens on Friday, when the parade ends, the road narrows, and the cross comes into view?
Ever start something with big energy but never finish? Jesus says following him can't be another thing you fizzle out on. Count the cost- you'll have to give everything. Still he gives more.
Ever felt like something's holding you back-even when you have it all? This Sunday, let's talk about the one thing keeping you from the life you're meant to live. It might cost you everything-but it's worth it.
Most of us avoid discomfort at all costs. But what if your greatest life was just beyond your greatest surrender? Letting go isn't loss; it's life. Come and explore what it really means to follow Jesus.
How long are you going to carry it? That grudge. That hurt. That thing they did that still plays in your mind. Joseph had every reason to stay bitter. But he didn't. What if you could do the same?
Stuck at a red light in life? Joseph spent two ears in prision, waiting for God to move. Turns out, God was moving all along. When it feels like nothing is happening, something always is.

Ever feel stuck in a pit? Like everything has fallen apart and God is nowhere to be found? That's how Joseph felt-betrayed and left for dead. Meanwhile, God was working it all into a plan, glorious beyond imagination.
Were you the favorite child or the sibling who definitely wasn't? Joseph is the spoiled and insufferable kind of brother that anybody would want to throw in a pit. But God's not finished with him yet. He's not finished with you either.
When was the last time you prayed like you meant it? Abraham got up in God's face. He pushed back. He prayed like it mattered-because it did. What if prayer isn't just mouthing polite words but literally wrangling with God?
Some of us let go of people easier than we let go of hurts and offenses. Forgiveness is hard, but what will you cling to-bitterness or belonging? This Sunday, we're talking about how to release the hurt and hold on to the ones who matter most.
What kind of friend are you? The kind who sticks closer than family-or the kind who disappears when times get tough? Join us this Sunday as we explore the radical, sacrificial loyalty of "ride-or-die" friendships.

Christmas means time with family. And family time can be complicated. What if you could have real peace at the table this year? What if you could have real peace with yourself every day? This Sunday we're exploring the peace Jesus brings.

A dead squirrel lay in our yard until it was mostly a puddle of worms and fur. My dog gobbled it up. Why? She's a dog. It's her nature. And just like a dog loves a warm pile of disgust, we love our sin. Why? We're sinners. It's our nature. But there's hope.
