A New Heaven and A New Earth
God makes all things new. He is about taking the brokenness brought on by sin and offering a new reality. God’s plans for a believer’s eternity are staggering in immensity and joy. We will exist forever on a new earth—a reality more alive than our present existence....

I AM
Summer Bible Study
Join us for an eight-week study of The “I AM” Statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. These beautifully simple statements of Jesus contain immeasurable depths of truth and insight into the goodness and love of God.
New Habits
Habits can have a profound impact on our lives in both good and bad ways. And often, we’re unaware of how much we do in our lives simply by force of habit. We’ll discuss how modern behavioral science is catching up to what the church has known for thousands of years...
A New Song
Songs are powerful things. The combine melody and harmony. They express both truth and emotion. They can fill us with joy and hope or with lament and sorrow. Through the beauty of song we worship, we celebrate, and we mourn. In the Psalms, the worship songs of the...
A New Purpose
Living without purpose is not really living at all. When you find new life in Christ, you can then find a new purpose—an investment of your life that makes sense and brings glory to God. If someone asked, “What is your purpose in life?” how would you respond? Those of...
Setting Healthy Boundaries
True, you will not find the words “personal boundary” in the Bible. But the Bible does discuss personal boundaries in principle. In fact, each time the Bible talks about areas of your life that you are solely responsible for, or instructs that you say “yes” to something good and “no” to something bad, or when the Bible reminds us that our true identity in Christ is separate than our identity in the world – this is touching on the importance of personal boundaries. Personal boundaries are what define our identity. Imagine them as property boundaries around your home. They exist so that we have a safe space that is clearly designated: this is who I am, what I value, what I need, what I believe, what I feel.
God’s Gift To Us
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not of your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8 OBSERVATION No one ever works to get a gift. Doing chores might get us an allowance and we might...
The Vine
Study Guide Download Week 7 Last week we began looking at Jesus’ final words to His disciples in the Upper Room Discourse. In this section of John, Jesus gives His very last words to the disciples before going to the cross. He is preparing them for His death, but also...
Worship and Prayer
I worship. I pray. I sing of His faithfulness. When I take the focus off me and I put it on Him, the pain is still there, but my heart and mind are somewhere else: in the presence of my King. Since my focus is on Him, I can leave the rest behind. That is what worship and prayer does; we turn from the hard and are in the presence of the One that overcomes the hard.
Celebrate Recovery
There's a story in Daniel, chapter 3, about three young boys, Sadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo, who are thrown into a fiery furnace for daring to honor God by not bowing to a golden image. But there was another in that fire with them. Many believe it was God Himself,...
Isolation vs. Solitude
Isolation is often confused with solitude. But these things are actually evil twins. It’s only when you see how they affect the world around them that you can begin to tell them apart. It’s crucial to understand the difference between the two because one is working for your good and the other is working against it.
The Throne of God
"Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “ ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” Whenever the living creatures give...
