All of us have a monster inside that emerges when we lose our connection to ourselves, others, and God. Whether it's being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. When unhealthy patterns go unchecked in our lives, it can feel like these monsters take control. This week, Paul introduces us to the topic of internal monsters and the meaning of being Hungry.
As we wrap up this series on the parables of Jesus, we take the chance to look back at the value of this process and the impact it has left on our church
There are very few forces as powerful as Coveting. How does Jesus address it in the parable of the Rich Fool?
Pastor Paul, Mackenzie, and Jordan talk through the surprising cost Jesus puts forth for those who wish to be one of his disciples.
This is one of the most challenging parables in the Bible. It slows us down to consider the role money plays in our life.
This week we discuss a surprisingly deep parable from Luke Chapter 11.
What does it mean for us when God's generous nature doesn't line up with our expectations of what is "fair"? How will we respond to this truth of the kingdom? Join us in Matthew 20:1-16 as we continue with the parables of Jesus in the Mind Games series.
Pastor Paul and Joshua walk with us through the Mind Games devo as we take a look at the Parable of the Talents.
In this weeks message, Paul shows us a parable all about how we try to look to ourselves and others, but how God sees us for who we really are.
Paul and Shua begin an honest conversation about the value of slowing down and allowing these familiar parables to challenge our inner life.
It's easy to speed our way through God's teaching. Make things simple and lose the deeper meaning behind His words. That's why Jesus taught in parables. In this week's sermon, we will be discussing how Jesus used the parables to get around people's certainty, unteachability and contempt that is born from familiarity. And how they reveal to us those times when we have fooled ourselves into thinking we hear and understand. But completely lose what God wishes for us to hear from His word. The goal ...

When we keep our Inner Life in the darkness there are things hidden away that can begin to effect and even dominate our Outer Life. Shining light into the corners and closets of our Inner Life takes courage, but is crucial to healing and growth.

Continuing with the Relationship Dance, Gina Young talks about some of the dance patterns that may arise in marriage. Beginning with the healthy steps of pursue-pursue, problems begin to arise when the couple begins to fall into the pursue-withdraw pattern. If these problems are not addressed, a withdraw-withdraw pattern might emerge.
In this first segment Gina Young introduces the concept of the Relationship Dance. Using the idea of a dance, if two couples are in sync, they seem to flow around the dance floor effortlessly. However, when we get out of tune or there is a break in our rhythm, problems begin to emerge. Gina introduces the concept of FAT (Feelings, Actions, and Thoughts) to help couple analyze where their dance may be off.
In this final segment of the Relationship Dance with Gina Young, the message addresses those marriage relationships in unhealthy patterns. Using the acronym TEMPO (Trigger, Emotion, Meaning, Protective action, and Organize), Gina encourages individuals to identify what they are experiencing and to have conversations with your spouse.
In life we will face bullies–Powerful people, overwhelming situations or even voices in our own heads that try to control us by filling us with fear. The use shame to make us doubt ourselves and shrink back. Learning to appropriately respond to bullies is one of the keys to life. David showed us how to respond to Bullies in the early part of his life. Jesus is the ultimate example of how to overcome bullies.
Similar to David's battle with Goliath, we will all face bullies. Bullies that will use their voices to talk over us, to bring shame into our lives, and to steal our voice. But we can learn how to identify those bullies' voices and move towards something even greater. We can find hope in the Voice of Truth and it will help us find our voice once again.
You have permission to set aside unhealthy expectations and live only to the expectations God calls you to!
When facing bullies, there's a new perspective that we learn from David which can change the whole narrative of our lives.
The interaction between David and his brother Eliab on the battlefield against the Philistines teaches us an important lesson–Through the indwelling of the Spirit of God, there is an alternative to fighting or fleeing from Bullies.
God is writing a redemptive story and he invites us along, we just need to set aside our past pain, present problems, and personal prejudices to see it.
