What is “impossible” in our relationship with God?

There is a lot of talk about leadership today. Did you know that as a believer, you are by definition a leader? Jesus commissions you to lead people to himself. This is a big responsibility! So, let’s take a look at Israel’s greatest Old Testament leader and see if we can learn a few key tips and tricks from him.

God is telling a much bigger story than you can. Let’s look at the first part of it.

Why is it that different people can read the same verses in the same Bible and come up with very different interpretations? How do we know if our interpretation is the right one?

First “Year of the Bible” message, asking how we respond to God’s Word, and why it can be so difficult.

This is the time of year where we, in the church world, like to stop to remember that Jesus is the “reason for the season.” He sure is. But, have you noticed that the way Jesus described his purpose here is a little different than our traditional understanding of what he came here to do?

Why do you do what you do at Christmas? Why decorate a tree? Why exchange gifts? Would it surprise you to discover that these traditions don’t come from Biblical sources? Where do our traditions really come from, and what should that mean for the way we engage with the Christmas holidays?

In this final message on gratitude, Youth Pastor Jason Turner examines the difference between “worry,” and “gratitude.” How does one affect the other? Can you have both in your life?

Once you have caught a glimpse of what you have been given, there is one thing that empowers you to continue to be grateful. What is that?

In part 2 of “Real Gratitude,” Youth Pastor Jason Turner helps us catch a glimpse once again of what we really have to be thankful for. When was the last time you caught a fresh glimpse?

November! The month our entire nation takes a long weekend to practice gratitude. Our whole nation? Jesus’ encounter with the 10 lepers suggests that possibly only one in ten are actually grateful. Am I one?

On the night he was taken, Jesus claims a position in our life that we love… But if we really understood what he was saying, would we be so eager for it to be true?

Near the end of his ministry, Jesus talks with his disciples about going home. This confuses them, and they say they “don’t know the way.” Jesus paints a really clear picture for them.
