This Sunday we begin a new sermon series called “Difficult Questions of Faith.” In this series, we will pull no punches, boldly exploring the most perplexing questions of faith, starting this Sunday with two key questions: Is my life predetermined by God’s plan or subject to the vicissitudes of free will and randomness? How involved is God in […]
From time to time, we all have experiences that cause us to ask deep – sometimes troubling – questions about our faith. It’s so common there’s even a term for it; it’s called a “faith crisis.” This Sunday we’ll look at someone in the Bible who had a faith crisis who modeled for us how […]

When we face hard times, it’s easy to get stuck wishing we could go back to a “better” time. It’s easy to nurse regrets.
