The Courage to Live

Today’s Message: The Courage to Live

In a dangerous world, it’s easy to put on armor to protect yourself. The armor of cynicism, of indifference, of distance. But our armor that we use to protect us also cuts us off from the things we most desire. Luke tells a powerful story about a woman who courageously sought healing from Jesus despite what others might think about her. Join us as we imagine the courage to feel again.

As the summer winds down and family routines resume, this season can be filled with stress and exhaustion. Let God grow you and your faith this season so that you might not just survive, but truly thrive.

The Divine Embrace

We’re often afraid to try and restore broken relationships with our coworkers, neighbors, friends, and family. When we avoid our broken relationships, we also avoid glimpses at the divine embrace, where God brings healing and hope. This week, we read about the moment Esau and Jacob meet each other 20 years after their relationship was broken by deception. Join us as we listen for how God calls us to the transformative work of reconciliation.

Transformation and Time Apart

Are you looking for healing in a relationship in your life?…

The Point of No Return

There are pivotal moments that shape a relationship for better or worse. In Genesis 27, Jacob’s deception fractured his relationship with his brother and changed the the next two decades of their lives.

We’ve Got History

Today's sermon is the start of a new sermon series, “Sibling Rivalry.” In a world of broken and dysfunctional relationships, we look to Esau and Jacob for understanding how problems emerge and for what seeing God in the midst reconciliation can look like.
