The Coronavirus has disrupted everything " and not just our life rhythms, schools, jobs, and the economy " it"s instilled more fear and uncertainty than we"ve ever seen in our lifetimes. It"s shaken us to the core. As a result, so many today are not just searching for toilet paper; we"re searching for meaning, for answers, for hope. We begin a new series of messages that will wrestle with some of the toughest questions we"re facing right now because of COVID-19. Why is this happening? How do we make sense of all the suffering? How do we find hope? Where"s God in all of it? What exactly does Christianity teach and what difference does it make right now? No one"s interested in the party-line, simplistic, "Sunday School" answers. Even though we have to keep six feet apart right now, let"s come together for an important conversation to help us find our way when life doesn"t make sense.

6 Feet Apart | Last God Standing

Some parts of our life seem worthy of the scrap heap - pain, anxiety, abuse, family strife. We become ashamed of what seems ugly and hopeless. Yet, God has a different perspective. Believe it or not, God is a dumpster diver who knows what to look for in our failures and sees the beauty in what"s damaged and broken. Through his power and grace, He grabs stuff that seems useless and reclaims it for amazing purposes. What part of you needs to be RECLAIMED?

Reclaimed - Hope

Anybody can start something. But finishing strong takes work. Whether it"s a friendship, marriage, job, commitment, or a goal you believe is important, how do you respond when things get tough? When results don"t come and expectations are shattered and life is just plain hard, can you push through and endure? A key voice in the bible from someone who"s been through it reveals an X factor that"s required to end well. It turns out that it"s something everyone can possess, and it"s called GRIT. How do you get grit? Join us for this series, and find out.

Grit - God"s Plan

Grit - Good Friends

"Good News!" That"s how the story about Jesus was introduced to the world. But is it a "good story" like a tall tale used to amuse or deceive? Or a truly good story that you just gotta hear because of its importance and relevance? Like a journalist going after a good story, let"s open the book of Mark and see if we can discover who Jesus really is and why it matters.

Good Story - Kingdom and Repenting

100 is a perfect mark on a test. It also says you"re keeping it real. It can mean you"re giving 100% or you"re fully on board. We might have aspirations of "keeping it 100" with God, but we all know we don"t live up to those ideals. It"s hard to truly and purely trust God with everything we have"especially when we"re literally talking about everything we have. But let"s go for it! Let"s see what God"s made of and test ourselves as well to discover what it"d be like to Trust God with All We"ve Got.

100 Trusting God With All You"ve Got - Do This

Have you ever just wondered about stuff? ...about God? ...about faith? Do you have questions that you you"re not sure it"s even ok to ask? Surely we all do. So let"s ask them. Maybe you"ve got a deep question about God. Or something real practical about how to live. Or you want to know what relevance the bible has in hot-button issues of today. What do you really want to know? Join us for You Asked for It and let"s seek the answers together.

You Asked For It - The Bible, Sexuality & Gender

You Asked For It - Pot, Suffering, and God Feeling Far Away

What comes into your mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you. And what you believe about God is the most important factor in determining how you live your life " and how you go through tough times. In days like these more people than ever want to know "Where is God"? "What is God doing"? "What difference does God make"? By studying the names of God in the Bible, we can do more than learn about God. We can see God at work in the world and in our lives as a Way-maker, Promise-keeper, Provider, and Light in the Darkness... and proclaim, "My God"THAT is who you are!

My God... That Is Who You Are - I AM

Good Story - Betrayal And Death

Good Story - Baptism and Temptation

Good Story - Easter

Reclaimed - Pain

Reclaimed - Family
