Can God be good when life is not? When life hits hard, it plunges us into a sea of questions we hoped we'd never have to ask. But when you feel broken, abandoned, and struggling to find answers, there's a beacon in the storm. A message series focusing on the book of Habakkuk, Hope in the Dark shows us how we can cling to God even when our circumstances are overwhelming because He will carry us through the storm.

Everything changed in a moment. When Jesus was born, He gave us the chance to be known, accepted, and forgiven. When we experience His love, we can’t help but Come to Worship.

Thanksgiving is here and there is so much to be thankful for! Listen in as we talk about thankfulness and specifically what we can thank God for!
The holidays are coming up and that means TONS of food which inevitably leads to leftovers piling in the fridge. Not everyone likes leftovers, but when it comes to what we give to God, how does He feel about leftovers?
Most of us hold the idea that the future will always get better...that somehow we will figure this out. But the question is, can we? Is this even true? We’ll look at two ancient stories that tell us more about ourselves than most of us want to admit, and realize why the struggle apart from God is more futile than we think. Are people inherently good, or a mixed bag? Is there a limit to human progress? And if we’re so enlightened, why do we keep almost destroying ourselves again and again?

We find ourselves this week in the final chapter of the Apostle Paul’s “discourse on joy” to his congregation at Philippi. He understood that “anxiousness” is the result of the pull in our lives between hope and fear. It was Paul’s desire to equip his spiritual children with the truth that could make it possible for them to live in a place of peace and great joy for the rest of their lives, no matter what circumstances would come their way. He knew that their lives and ours, would be filled with opportunities to live in anxiety, but that they, and we, must make the “joy decision” every day in order to experience “joy for life.”
Happiness and joy, believed by most to be synonymous... but little could be further from the truth. The book of Philippians was penned by a man who was, at the moment of its writing, suffering untold troubles and trials. Paul was confined in a Roman dungeon, beaten regularly, and chained to one of his guards, awaiting death for the unthinkable crime of receiving the good news of salvation through Christ, and the desire that all might know his amazing savior. As he awaited his execution, he not only found purpose and meaning for the circumstances he was experiencing, he demonstrated incredible faithfulness, and did so with an attitude of unshakable joy!

In many ways, hymns are the oral history of our faith. Like the Psalms in Scripture, they are passed from generation to generation and sung in cathedrals, chapels, or around a family piano. “How Sweet the Sound,” a four-week series, will delve into some of those classic hymns and explore their meaning, breathing new life into their melodies to illuminate the hope
