When we gather for worship this summer, we will focus on One Verse of Scripture each week. Our hope is that each verse will shape our thoughts and actions as we follow Jesus in our everyday lives. May these summer months be a season of recalibration, ordering our values, and bringing us all to a deeper surrender to God.

We will gather at the Miller Park Amphitheater 5 times over these next few months of summer to worship together. For each of these services, we will focus on one verse of Scripture that will help us live more thoughtfully as followers of Jesus.
The way Jesus describes life in this passage doesn't seem to match up with our experience, especially our spiritual lives. I'm not sure many of us would describe our burden as, "light." So, what exactly is Jesus inviting us to in these verses? And, why do so few of us find it?
Reading a Psalm is like peeking into someone's private journal as they pour out their various feelings to a trusted friend and revered God. Sometimes the words mirror our own thoughts and emotions in powerful ways. Spend some time with this week's Psalm and thoughtfully consider the ideas that resonate with you.

What happens when God doesn't meet your expectations? How do you frame your life around a new reality, especially one you didn't see coming?
Throughout this past year, uncertainty and the fear of death have taken center stage all over the world. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, let's take a few minutes to align our hopes and values with Easter's promise of new life.

Who wants to have a great life? That almost seems like a rhetorical question in these tough times. However, in Psalm 1, God tells us there are two roads in life, with two different destinations. He wants us to choose the road to the blessed life in Him – the only way that goes well and ends well.
What are the things that leave you unsettled? What is our response to the things that might be difficult to name but leave our soul disquieted?
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lent season. This service will focus on thoughtful reflection and repentance — a time to allow God’s Spirit to draw us close and consider how we might turn our hearts and minds toward following Jesus every day. The 40 days of Lent represent Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and where Satan tempted him. Lent is a time set aside each year for self-denial, marking an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifi...
Paul finishes his letter to the Ephesians with beautiful imagery and advice about how to live and thrive through difficult times.
Who is in charge? Who will make the decisions? The words in Ephesians 5 have been misused in appalling ways. Paul's instructions and advice about family relationships can transform our approach to each other, as long we read them with humility and a selfless mindset.
Paul has some pointed words for us as we make our way through the complexities of life and relationships. Don't move past the details too quickly, and don't miss the bigger picture. His words help us follow Jesus along the narrow road.
