Our relationship with wealth reveals our relationship with God. Both abundance and scarcity can tempt us toward misplaced trust, but generosity helps fend off temptation and guide us toward a healthy, God-centered relationship with wealth.

Where is God in suffering? We often ask this question when life gets hard. We are reminded through the stories of scripture, however, that perhaps He never left our side. Suffering doesn't mean God is absent, but it does demand we choose a perspective. Join us in this message for part 4 of our series “Rooted” in which we will wrestle with this important experience we all share.
When we survey the world around us, we quickly observe the out workings of evil. The Bible reminds us that these effects are not the result only chance, but have spiritual roots. Join us this Sunday for part 3 of our series, "Rooted."
Everyone faces situations in life where they long to hear God speak. It could be an important decision, difficult trial, or a myriad of other circumstances. How does God speak to us today?
This message marks the beginning of a church-wide journey of spiritual growth called, “Rooted.” This week we begin with the important question, “Who is God, really?” Join us as we embark together down this pathway of knowing him deeper, and finding ourselves more fully in Christ.
The book of James reminds us that we can't have it both ways. Friendship with the world means hostility with God. Our attempts to play both sides often lead to envy, quarrels, and a powerless faith. The solution? Humble ourselves completely before the Lord. Join us for the conclusion of our sermon series, “Straight to the Point,” as we wrestle with one of the most persistent challenges of the Christian life.
Words have the power to direct our ways and shape our lives. By disciplining our words, we harness their power to set our whole being on a God-honoring path. Join us for part 3 of our sermon series, “Straight to the Point,” where we will be looking at the subject of speech in the book of James.
Faith is equal parts belief and action, transforming not just what we say, but how we live as well. Join us this week for part 2 of our series, “Straight To The Point,” as we tackle the nature of faith, deeds, and the need for both.
What is the relationship between the faith we profess and the trials we experience? Should faith make life easier? Should it provide helpful tips and tricks for avoiding difficulty? The book of James gets straight to the point. No pain, no gain. Trials have an important purpose. Join us as we begin a new sermon series, “Straight To The Point.” Don’t miss out!
Never underestimate how God can use one committed person to transform the world around them. We don't need to be famous or powerful - simply choosing to live with love and integrity can advance God's purposes in remarkable ways, even in a crazy, messy world.
Life is messy, and sometimes we believe it to be impossible to turn things around. We are reminded in scripture, however, that it is never too little, too late, or too far gone to repent and begin anew. Join us for part 4 of our sermon series, “Crazy, Messy People.”
Often we mistakenly assume that there is a mythical group of people out in the world that has “figured it out” and “has it all together.” These people don’t really exist, but the myth nonetheless works against us, convincing us that our personal craziness and messiness is more unique than it truly is. We learn in the book of Judges, however, that not only is everyone messy, God almost exclusively works through people with crazy, messy lives. Join us this Sunday for part 2 of our sermon series, “Crazy, Messy People,” where we cover this and more.
In this message, we kick off a new sermon series entitled, “Crazy, Messy People.” This week, we are diving into the book of Judges to discover how God works through the chaos. Just like He used even the messiest situations in Israel's history, God is still sovereign over every crazy mess in our lives today.
In this message, we will continue our 'Things Dad Taught Me' sermon series. We will be diving into timeless wisdom for everyday life regarding speech, because in a world full of noise, learning to use our words well can change everything.
Check out this special Father's Day message from Colin's own dad, Brian McCracken.
Family can be one of the greatest joys in life, and simultaneously, one of the greatest sources of heartache. How could something hold so much potential for both good and ill? More importantly, how can we make sure we are building a family that experiences more of the blessings than the burdens?
We all need a good advice once in a while. Many of us have turned to parents in search of that wisdom. In our new series, “Things Dad Taught Me,” we will be looking at the book of Proverbs, a collection of wisdom saying handed down from a father to his Son, and learning how that ancient wisdom still holds up for our modern lives today.
Sometimes life is hard. We go through painful seasons that seem like they will never end. Our weary spirits long for rest. Often times we find strength and encouragement when we look back on God’s past actions and consistency. He has proved faithful before, so we can trust he will be faithful today.
We are often encouraged to seek out more, achieve more, or to acquire more. Sometimes, though, the pursuit of more leaves us weary. All the while, God offers us something that is enough, and here we find rest.
