There’s no doubt that God wants to bless us - with peace, confidence in the future, financially, with health. In fact, God tells us how we can receive his blessing (through the Window of Heaven).

Healing When You're Hurting
Part 4 of Series: The Rodeo of Life
It’s universal and unavoidable; over the course of our life, heartbreak is an experience we all share. However, as followers of Christ, we also know that even when we’re feeling broken we have a priceless treasure within us - the presence of God. Pastor Kerry examines 2 Corinthians 4 and shares how despite our fragile nature, the power of God and His truth keep us from being overwhelmed or defeated, and how God continues to heal us when we’re hurting today.

I HAD SOME HELP
Part 3 of Series: The Rodeo of Life
With everything in life that is out of our control, our responsibility for our actions and decisions is one area that is fully within our control. However, it’s also an area where we often pass responsibility or blame to others. Josh Shook shares how Scripture directs us to take responsibility for our actions, our reactions, and the thoughts that try to take root in our mind, and how reclaiming responsibility can lead to deeper relationships and more fulfilling lives.

The Benefit of Doubt
Part 2 of Series: Rodeo of Life
It seems inevitable in the course of our life that we struggle with doubt in our faith. Though it is often seen as a problem to be avoided, our experiences with doubt can instead be viewed as a doorway that leads to a deeper faith. Ryan Shook looks at examples in Scripture where the doubts of heroes of the faith were not condemned but were acknowledged and answered, and how those episodes of doubt served as a point of greater faith in their lives.

Part 1 of Series: Rodeo of Life
Did you know Jesus - the Son of God, the Messiah - had friends in low places?

30 Second Sermon
Pastor Kerry looks at four popular Superbowl commercials and unpacks timeless biblical wisdom found in each. Maybe it’s finding God’s strength when we’re honest with our weakness, or finally discovering how faithful God’s love is for us; perhaps it’s reminding ourselves that finding the joy in today is far better than regrets of the past or anxiety for the future; or maybe it’s finding a clearer vision for our lives by choosing to serve. No matter what you’re experiencing, there’s a 30-Second Sermon that can change your life.

The Rewards of Spiritual Risk-Taking
In many areas of life, we choose safer options out of fear of the unknown results. However, true adventure in life comes from the risks we ultimately take.

How does God "recycle" the broken, negative, or stale areas of life— especially those in our thoughts, relationships, habits and dreams—into something new and full of purpose?

The childlike wonder and joy of Christmas can be demonstrated by snow globes. It doesn’t take long before the lights on a Christmas tree don’t do it for us anymore. Christmas gets more stressful and complicated, and the childlike wonder of the season is replaced by real life worries. We are going to uncomplicate Christmas, to get back to the simple wonder and power of it’s true meaning. One of the names given to Jesus is the Hebrew name Emmanuel which means God with us. Those three words sum up the simple yet profoundly powerful meaning of Christmas. They change everything. Today, I’d like us to focus on each of those words to really understand the life changing power of Christmas in our lives.

Topics: Love, Relationships, Unity, Gratitude, Joy
God’s ideal for our closest relationships should be harmony, unity and love with no strings attached. The tug of war in relationships causes disharmony, disillusionment, disappointment and deep wounds. There are many different kinds of conflict in relationships. Let’s look at how Jesus loves us. Let’s love like that.
Most love today has a lot of strings attached. We have a lot of expectations when we love: I love you because you look a certain way, I love you if you love me back. We’re talking about I Love You Period. I love you unconditionally, I love you with no strings attached. Jesus said that’s the only kind of love that brings fulfillment to our lives and our relationships.
