Holy Week | When God's Plans Don't Line Up With My Plans

Disappointment comes when our reality doesn’t match our expectations.

Life can be full of those moments—when things don’t turn out the way we hoped, and sometimes, that disappointment is even directed at God. The same was true for the people in Jesus’ day. They expected a powerful king, but instead, they got a suffering Savior. What do we do with our disappointments? How do we respond when life lets us down—and could trusting God's plan, even when it doesn't match ours, lead to deeper faith and unexpected hope?

Faith in Action

It is possible to be completely saved but not completely free. What does it look like or mean to live in freedom and walk in God's authority?

Let's Talk | Abortion

Statistically, many in our churches today have faced or been affected by abortion personally. Like many difficult topics, it’s not just about what we believe but how we respond to those around us. How should the church faithfully uphold truth while extending grace and compassion?

Let's Talk | Sexual Identity and Gender

The Church has often struggled with how to respond to issues of homosexuality and gender in a biblical way. Unfortunately, many Christians aren’t even sure what the Bible actually says on the subject. So, what does Scripture teach, and how should we engage with those around us with both truth and grace?
