God is worthy of our prayers and our praises, but sometimes we forget why He is! The book of Psalms helps us to fight forgetting. The Psalms help us pause and remember, to remember who God is and how God is. It uses music, lyrics, and poetry to engage both our minds and our hearts! The truth is this ancient hymn-book is as true today as the day the people of God first sung the songs found inside.

We all face times when our thoughts and our emotions make life difficult. We all go through seasons of stress, worry, confusion, uneasiness, or despair. It’s okay to experience those times, but it’s not okay to simply stay there. God calls us to more. He calls us to find peace and joy even in the midst. Through this series we want to discover together what it looks like and what it takes to live life Full & Free!

The reality is our friends can turn to enemies in a heartbeat. Unforgiveness in our hearts puts our friendship at risk. But forgiveness frees us to move in the direction of reconciliation with our most difficult relationships. If we want healthy, godly friendship we must learn to forgive even what seems unforgivable. God calls us to this, but also showed how to do it!
Sure, it would be great if relationships were easy…but the reality is they’re not. Relationships can be difficult. Relationships can be complicated. Relationships can be a struggle. So how do we do relationships well? Through this series we hope to get past the labels of relationships, to see what is required of us in them. To see what it is that God has to say about relationships, and how He calls us to participate in them!

If we are honest, there are times in each of our lives when we need to be woken up! There are times when we allow the natural drift of life to take us away from where we truly want to be. It’s in these times when we need to hear Jesus speaking tough love to us. Calling us away from indifference, and into an intimate relationship with Him!
Let’s face it…we love when things are new. We love it when things are bright and shiny. But what do we do when this new year already feels out of control? How do we respond to the brokenness in our lives or the chaos we find ourselves in? It’s in these times, in these seasons when we need something truly valuable to cling to. It’s in these places in life where we need to learn to truly treasure Christ and allow God to work in the midst of it all!
How often do we put ourselves out there? Out of our comfort zones? Into uncertain territory? Most of the "it was worth it" moments in life require us to. But often there seems to be something holding us back. Something we have to get over, let go of and just do it. Jesus called us to be on mission when he said “Go into all the World.” What would it look like for you to put yourself out there for the sake of God's mission in your dorm room, apartment, school, and city?
What a way to start the new year at Overflow! Mike Ashcraft brought a challenging and encouraging message for us to slow down, to process what we really believe about things, and to set our eyes on what will truly satisfy our souls. We encourage you at the start of this semester to do just that!
From the beginning God gave us the capacity to be in AWE of Him. However, we still find ourselves in positions of placing our AWE in lesser things that won’t satisfy. God continually calls us to himself, to a position of being amazed and satisfied in Him. Where is your AWE?

We loved getting to hear yet another powerful message from our friend Joey Todd. What would our lives look like if we lived them with complete confidence that God was with us? Lets all be challenged to live lives of overwhelming faith, but also be encouraged with the reality that God is for us and He is with us every step!
The Christian life is not intended to be lived out of duty, but out of heart. And one of the great miracles of God is that when we surrender our lives to Him and place our faith in Jesus…He actually gives us a new heart from which to live! Check out this message from our good friend Katie Ridd.
It was so great to have our pastor - Mike Ashcraft - share his heart and some serious wisdom with Overflow. There really is freedom found in being you! But to be yourself, you must know yourself. This will take time and a ruthless pursuit of the truth before God…but it will be worth it all...to be exactly who God created you to be!
Sometimes everything goes according to plan…and other times it seems like nothing does. This Tuesday was one of those “other times”. With lots of students, half of the Overflow band, and our guest speaker unable to make it to Wilmington for the service, things felt out of control. But it’s when we feel most out of control that we can see most clearly that God is!
This was definitely a special Tuesday night at Overflow. From an awesome time of acoustic worship, to our very own Alissa MacLean bringing an incredible message that challenged and encouraged us to see ourselves as people sent by God into the world, with a message, on a mission! And we invite you to join us in taking this message and this mission to our Campus, City, and World!
Changes in technology, cell phones, and social media have exploded over the last 17 years! This explosion has literally changed the world we live in today. But in a world where we feel as connected as humanly possible, the truth is we may be much more DISCONNECTED than we think!

The story of Jesus is one of the most compelling stories ever told. To some it may be a story too hard to believe…but what if Jesus really is who He says He is? At Overflow we believe that Jesus really lived, really died, and actually rose from the dead. And not only does He live, but He reigns. The reality is we’re all looking for something or someone to crown king in our lives, and the truth is Jesus is King!

This semester at Overflow we are asking and believing God to do some awesome things…and we want to invite you into that! We want to invite each of you in, to be a part of the family, the community, and the mission of Overflow: to reach college students and help them walk with God. Because we believe that God will do great things through a group of college students ready to be a part of something!
