Navigating Normal: The Way Back | Part 4
Oct 24, 202100:33:48Tap to summarizeNo one prepared you for a global pandemic. And chances are no one has taught you how to live or emotionally process the world we find ourselves in. We have come to believe our present moment in history is “unprecedented.” This could not be further from the truth. These are not “unprecedented times. They may be new to us, however, history is replete with moments that left many anxious, troubled, and confused. And God’s Word gives us incredible guidance and direction. Join us for a new 5-part series as we look at the life of the prophet Elijah and learn how to navigate the normal we find ourselves in.
Transcribe →Navigating Normal: Into the Cave | Part 3
Oct 17, 202100:43:35Tap to summarizeAs the fog of the pandemic slowly lifts we are finding ourselves wrestling with a new pandemic of sorts; mental and emotional health. The effect of the last 18 months has taken its toll on us. For many, as a result, there is an underlying feeling of “Blah.” Anxiety and depression have become unwelcome housemates. What do we do when the fog of depression begins to settle over our souls? Is there really hope when everything feels so hopeless? And where is God when we enter the dark cave of the soul?
Transcribe →Navigating Normal: On Empty | Part 2
Oct 10, 202100:40:40Tap to summarizeIt feels like life went from 0 to 100 overnight. The world went from a global standstill to returning to the office, schools back in session, kids' sports in full gear, and social calendars filling up, and yet there's a sense of weariness and feeling drained amidst it all. On top of that, Silicon Valley already runs at a breakneck pace. No wonder so many feel tired and overwhelmed. Perhaps you feel like you’re running on empty spiritually, emotionally, relationally or physically. What do we do when we are on empty? How do we respond when depression knocks out our door? And how does God meet us in our weariness?

More Than Sunday: Fervent and Fruitful | Part 2
Sep 26, 202100:33:24Tap to summarizeWe live in a day and age where friendships are often built transactionally -- off of what we think we can gain from one other. But when we look at the life of Paul and two of his closest friends, we see an important model of friendship based on righteous character and godly fruit that's being produced. Have you ever thought about the importance of the people we surround ourselves with? One of the ways we live out our faith is in the context of community -- it actually helps shape and form us as disciples of Jesus. Join us for More Than Sunday Part 2: Fervent and Fruitful
Transcribe →More Than Sunday: Resonance and Rootedness | Part 1
Sep 19, 202100:42:29Tap to summarizeIf church is more than Sunday, then what kind of life we lead together Monday—Saturday really, really matters. What does it look like for us to be a strong, welcoming community of small groups? How do we practice hospitality with one another and why does that matter? We cannot begin the discipleship process if we do not welcome one another with a culture that feels like Jesus’ grace and truth. We will look closely at Romans 15:1-7 as we discuss what it looks like to “welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you.”
