We have this image given to us in the Old Testament and New Testament of the Israelites being a royal priesthood and a holy nation. We are brought into that image as Gentiles. So how do we live this out?

In Ephesians we read a prayer that we be so rooted in God’s love that the overflowing of our life is holiness. If we are so rooted then we will understand that life isn’t a competition but our vocation is to cultivate and multiply.

Our church vision statement is: we come to renewed life: to be rooted, to invite others, and to nurture relationships. What does that looks like in our everyday lives? This week we are focusing in on what a renewed life looks like.

We have this moment in Matthew chapter 28 where the women come to the tomb and it is empty. He has risen, He has risen indeed. What does that mean for us? Find out with us today.

Zachariah gives us the picture of the Messiah coming in to usher in the coming Kingdom on a donkey. The symbols of war no longer have the power. This is the last Sunday before Resurrection Sunday! God guide our hearts!

Psalm 27 tells us that God is our refuge, the one place that we can find safety and security in. Even when the world is chaotic around us in God we find peace. Even if our parents forsake us God never will. May we always trust in God and give our life over entirely. May we go where God guides us.

In Deuteronomy 30 God Gives the Israelites a clear choice and lays out the consequences of that choice. May we always choose to follow God and choose life. May we become conscious to the moments we don’t put God first.

Today we are reading out of Jeremiah God speaking about this pattern of distraction that the Israelites are in. They continue to be distracted, God gives them over to their distraction then when they cry out to God, He comes to rescue them. We might see that pattern in our lives as well. Let us pray in this Lenten season God point out places where we have turned from Him and gotten distracted.

Psalm 84 is a song of Zion, a song the Israelites would sing as they traveled back to the temple during the pilgrimage festivals. They longed to feel at home, to have rest in God’s presence. Do we long for the same things?

Psalm 95 is a bid to come. We start this journey towards the cross this Sunday. We journey these 40 days of lent. It is a season of reflection and repentance. God bids us come.

To blessed to be stressed. But does one really have something to do with the other? Paul tells us he has anxiety in Philippians, but then tells us not to be anxious. Why? Join us today as we talk through this.

The phrase “everything happens for a reason” usually rolls off our tongues in situations where we might not know what to say. But is that phrase and what it means what we really mean to say? Maybe we should look at Romans 8 and see what Paul was really saying.

Sometimes in hard times we tend to say things we don’t really mean that don’t really express what we want to say. We’ve all done it and all had those things said to us. Today we are looking at the phrase “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle.” What are things we can say that better express what we mean?

Today we are speaking again about tithing. What does the widows offering in Mark teach us about tithing? Join us and learn.

Today we are going to answer the question of why people tell you to tithe 10%. We will look at the verse from Leviticus but also how Paul frames giving in the New Testament.

What is Epiphany and why do we care? Join us today for this story in Matthew as we look at what Matthew is trying to tell us.

Luke chapter 8 feels kind of like non stop action. In the midst of the chapter we have a wonderful story of healing. What can we learn from this? That is the big question.

Matthew shows us in the first chapter of his Gospel that the Christmas story isn’t this tidy wrapped up with a bow story. It was, what most people would consider messy. But in the midst of the mess God shows up.

Today we see in Scripture how Paul calls us to be peacemakers. Being a peacemaker is different than being a peacekeeper or an agitator. Let’s look at what Paul says should be our foundation for every relationship we have.

Jesus tells the disciples the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. What does that mean? Maybe since it is connected to the passage in Ezekiel that part of it is taking care of others. Living our lives in such a way that people see Jesus.
