James | Week 5: Inviting God To Church

James 5 calls us out of spiritual isolation and into the stories and struggles of others. And in response? We pray - because God is already present and at work in the troubles we face. (James 5:13-18)

James Week 4: Conflict. Now What?

All healthy relationships experience conflict from time to time. So how do we handle these moments with healthy boundaries and a heart for reconciliation? (James 4:1-3)

James | Week 3: Building In A Tear Down World

James knows that love is always connected to our words - the way we speak, the way we listen, and the way we speak from the overflowing of our hearts. Being faithful in following Jesus means a commitment to harness the power of our words to build people up in a tear-down world. (James 3:3-12)

James | Week 2: Making Room At The Table

In James 2, we're called to take account on the ways we undermine the mercy of God by judging others based on our own perceptions and bias. As we move deeper into the heart of God, we find mercy for ourselves - and mercy that triumphs over our judgment. (James 2:1-13)

James | Week 1: The Scars Of Wisdom

In the words of E.O. Wilson, "We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom." James calls us to ask God for wisdom - and yet that wisdom often arrives in the form of those who've walked through the same struggles we now face. A healthy Church is a living library of lived, hard-earned wisdom that makes us more like Jesus. (James 1:2-4, 3:13-18)

God At Rest | The Freedom Of Limits

The American definitions of freedom typically center on removing limitations. But in the kingdom of God - there are limitations that bring freedom and life. How might we find freedom and rest in an exhausted, weary world?

God At Rest | Living A Life Of Sabbath Rest

Rest is not the opposite of work - it's the foundation of it. In this message, Alicia Sims shares about the gift, calling, and challenge of rest, and how Jesus' invitation still calls to our exhausted, weary world.

God At Work | Working For The Good

How do we live and love like Jesus at work without being... *that* Christian? In this message, we explore the what it means to be a patient, humble, authentic witness that is good news to our co-workers.

God At Work | Work As Worship

We need a vision for our work life that more resembles the kingdom of God than the American dream. So how we learn to see our work as worship - and how do we know when we're worshiping our work? 

Pentecost | Power To The People

At Pentecost, we celebrate that the Holy Spirit isn't for the professionals, the powerful, the knowledgable, or the spiritual elites. No - the power of God empowers the whole Church for the mission of God right where they are. (Acts 2:1-12)
