When we first enter into that relationship, we are excited when love is anew. But as time lingers, events happen that swing our emotions to […]

It can be hard to find contentment in our lives. We’re overwhelmed, overloaded, and exhausted by what happens in everyday life. We want more time, but only to “catch up” on what we’re already doing — rushing, planning, worrying, and rushing some more. Everything can suffer. Contentment and joy evaporate. How do we get some […]
As we continue our quest to experience Jesus at a deeper level, this Sunday we’ll explore Jesus as healer. What was it that made Jesus a healer? How can we become healers? Join us Sunday to find out!

What do you want to do when you grow up? We’re asked that question from an early age. Many of us spend a lot of time trying to figure it out. We spend years getting an education, then settle for jobs or careers we find boring or dislike. What if the question God is asking […]
