We all deal with sinners every day. How do we love the sinners around us? Learn two ways Jesus teaches us to deal with other people's sins. Listen to this message as we hear from Jesus about how we are actually called to deal with the sins of other people.

The existence of heaven and hell are often things we don't think about and if we are honest don't really want to think about. Despite our apprehension, the Bible and Jesus have a lot to say about the afterlife. Listen to this message as we dive into a very interesting parable Jesus told about the afterlife and the eternal implications it has for all people.

From a young age, it is engrained in us that certain topics are off-limits to talk about in group settings. That it is not polite to discuss politics or religion, or gossip about others. And yet, the one thing that no one wants to talk about is #money and finances. Despite our hesitancy, Jesus spent A LOT of time talking about money and the impact that it can have on our relationship with God. Listen in as we discuss how money can so often leave us lost and where true security can be FOUND.

All of us are searching for something... for our purpose, for the next step, for direction, for connection. But what if everything we are searching for has already been FOUND. Listen in to this message we start our new series, Lost + FOUND. #arise #comehome

Many of us have heard the famous quote attributed to Gandhi, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." This sentiment rings true for many people both inside and outside of the Church, but can the Church really be better than we think? Listen in to discover what the Church is really called to be like and how we all have a responsibility to live up to this calling.

When you ask people about their thoughts on Christianity, many of them are likely to respond with something about, "ALL of the RULES!" Even for those who are followers of Jesus, many still believe that the main purpose of the Christian life is just to follow a bunch of rules like living in a straitjacket. Listen in to find out that following Jesus is so much more than just rules.

One of the things we have missed the most during the pandemic has been large gatherings and celebrations with others. Often when we think of God's kingdom, we honestly think of a stuffy worship service for eternity, but Jesus over-and-over again describes it as a PARTY --a feast and banquet beyond our wildest imagination. Listen in to hear about the amazing party that God has been planning; the guest list may surprise you!

Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God more than just about any topic. It is mentioned over 110 times in the Gospels, but what does God's Kingdom have to do with the end of the world? And why should we want to help bring it about? Listen in as we dive into the unexpected reality of God's Kingdom.

For millennia, people have been trying to properly interpret the events that are happening in order to anticipate and predict the end. Whether looking at cosmological, political, or natural events, all of these endeavors have proven fruitless. Listen to what Jesus says is really fruitful when we are trying to determine the end.

Many people are asking: Are we in the End Times? When is the world going to end? Is this THE end? But those are the wrong questions, what you really should be asking is: AM I READY? Listen in as we kick off our new series Doomsday Preppers.

From the defeating of aliens to finding the Holy Grail, every quest ends with the heroes reaching the goal and the celebration beginning. But for the Christian life, our goal is not reached in a two-hour movie or 12 chapters of a book. Listen in as we wrap up our series and find encouragement as we all press onwards toward the goal of following Jesus.

It has been famously said that "Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell." In our world, temptations seem to be around every corner and we are going to have to face them on our quest of following Jesus. But we don't have to face them alone. Listen in to find the key to overcoming temptation.

Imagine one of your friends gives you a call and asks you this question, "Is Jesus really God? I know a lot of different faiths respect Jesus... I mean even I like some of the stuff he said, but is he God?" What would you say? Would you know what to say? Where would you start? Listen to this message from one of our elders Kynton shares a special message answering these important questions and shares with us an amazing opportunity that God has opened up for their family.

We all have questions about God, about faith, about our lives. In this episode, Pastors Sawyer and Matt dive into some tough theological questions that stemmed from Pastor Matt's sermon about the obstacles that we face on the quest of following Jesus. We discuss how God responds to our sin, the difference between discipline and punishment, and close with the relationship between the bad things that happen in our lives and our sin. It is such an important discussion for all of us as we work on bringing God more into the 10,000 messy minutes of our lives.
