Appetites are simply human, and appetite itself is a good, God-given thing. The problem is, in our broken state, our appetites do not always yearn for what is healthy. How can we practice spiritual judo on our appetite temptations?

In Luke 4, the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness, trying to lead Jesus astray from his mission. Even now, he still offers us the same temptations of ambition, appetite, and approval, to lead us away from the life God has for us! In this sermon series, we will consider how to identify and conquer these temptations, that we may live “in the power of the Spirit” (Luke 4:14).

When you think of money, what do you feel? Fear, anxiety, guilt, or pride? God wants you to experience a truly abundant life. What does that mean for money?

Have you ever made pickles? How is growing in discipleship like making pickles?

How likely are you to succeed on your own long term? We all need community. We are designed to need one another. We are designed for relationship. How are you connecting to community?

You are one of a kind, with a unique mix of passions and personality, experiences and expertise, roles and relationships. Which means you have a unique place in God’s kingdom, a unique part to play in God’s restoration of the world. You have a calling.

We often want control -- of the future, money, lifestyle, success, or in relationships. What if we acknowledge God's holiness and instead lead a life of surrender?

How do we move from grumbling to gratitude? How do we grow in gratitude?

Ascend is an invitation to grow and intentionally follow Jesus, through simple practices focused on gratitude, surrender, and calling. This new series explains the practice of Ascend.

In our culture right now, we draw lines. It’s easy to think like Jonah, “God is on my side and my enemies are God’s enemies.” But what if God truly loves the Ninevites too?

When we are "in the belly of the whale," how do we respond?

It is tempting to worship a little God--who never disagrees with me, never tells me what to do, and is always on my side. Little gods are so convenient! Jonah discovered the bigness of God, who cares about the whole world, who may not be on my side...but who is big enough to save!

Our world focuses more and more on the individual, but faith is not private. Transformation happens in relationships. What is the church's vision for community?

Jesus said “The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). Sin is that thief. If we know that God is working to restore his Kingdom, how should we respond to sin?

What does it take to get into heaven? Nicodemus had an understanding of God as a screener -- that the proof of birthright and good behavior were required. Jesus' gospel is not about going to heaven, but about entering the Kingdom of God.

God gave Joshua a clear vision of what's ahead for God's people, and what got them to the Jordan may be different than what gets them over!

Can we be honest with God about our struggles, our emotions? How do we express our anger or grieve our losses before God?

In this final message in the Encouragers series, we look at one more account of Barnabas in the Bible, and it's not as shiny. Nobody is perfect, and Barnabas is no exception. What do we do when we mess up?

As we follow the life and story of Barnabas, we learn that even he faced conflict. Everyone faces conflict. How should we approach conflict as followers of Christ?

Barnabas was not a self promoter. He raised others up. Our mission is to raise people up toward eternal and abundant life in God. How can we lead like Barnabas?
