Enough

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I don’t have enough _____________.

What’s your answer? Money? Peace? Time? Energy? Talent? All of the above? We all struggle with feelings of inadequacy. I’m not enough. Will I ever be enough? We flow through seasons of abundance and scarcity. What is enough? Will I ever have enough?

These questions aren’t new, but in a time where the world has been thrown into a tailspin and disparities have been brought to the surface, we’ve created a moving concert experience that explores highs and lows of ENOUGH.

Local artists Casey McPherson (Flying Colors, Alpha Rev), Suzanna Choffel, and Brandon Kinder (The Wealthy West, Rocket Boys) came together to create original music for a Thanksgiving concert that you won’t want to miss. Experience lyrics that are deeply personal to the artists in a way you wouldn’t normally hear, fully orchestrated with modern band, concert strings and choir.

The Harder Way: Riverbend and Messy Grace

Sun, 30 Apr 2017 10:00:00 +0000

What was Jesus writing in the dirt? Was it the names of the Pharisee's - as though He knew them well? Was it their mistresses? Was this all a setup?
Maybe there was a Pharisee who slept w/ the prostitute, dragged her out just to set a theological trap for Jesus.

Broken Bread and Burning Hearts

Sun, 02 Apr 2017 10:00:00 +0000

LUKE 24:28-32
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.
29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.

SCRIPTURE – PSALM 96:11-13

10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.

Be The One Who Stays True When Everyone Else Lies

Sun, 06 Nov 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Think about what it might take to tell the truth to someone - what would be the consequences?

If we want to tell the truth well we must speak with humility. Without humility we should not be speaking the truth in arrogance or speak the truth for self serving reasons. When we speak from humility we are equipped to speak the truth well.

Be The One Who Turns to the Challenge When Everyone Else Turns Away.

Sun, 30 Oct 2016 10:00:00 +0000

When everyone looks to you to be the one, and when you come through all the time, what do you do next? How do we replenish? Elijah listens to God in the whisper.

Be The One Who Gives When Everyone Else Takes

Sun, 23 Oct 2016 10:00:00 +0000

The grace of God as expressed to others should not be held hostage by our emotions - and not caring is not a reason not to care. We care because our Father cares. We should be satisfied not with what we think or say, but what we do. Even worse is when we say we care and do nothing.

Habits That Form - Worship

Sun, 16 Oct 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Worship comes from a place of either gratitude or brokenness: but there is this place in between where we need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable - which can be experienced as peace.

Habits That Form - Serving Others

Sun, 09 Oct 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Pastor Doug Congdon shares with us how important serving others is with the example of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples.

Saints & Sinners

Sun, 21 Aug 2016 10:00:00 +0000

We do not make a distinction between Saints and Sinners - Believers only. Journey of faith is for a lifetime - be comfortable with having people seek without being saved.

To Establish Our Faith

Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:00:00 +0000

After a particularly challenging week personally, Pastor Dave shares how Jesus' Sermon on the Mount can teach us about the power of humility during times of chaos, crisis and difficulty.

To Shape Our Destiny

Sun, 03 Jul 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Is our Humility truly setting us free? Relational humility is a test for how humble we are.

To Free Us From Our Anxiety

Sun, 26 Jun 2016 10:00:00 +0000

What is the true nature of humility? There is a misconception of Jesus' teaching on this. Not things we should take pride in - but to humbly be - even without notice.

Facing Our Fear of Loving Others

Sun, 12 Jun 2016 10:00:00 +0000

This week Pastor Dave concludes our consideration of Psalm 23:

"For the length of my days, for all of my days, will be filled with the presence of God - and the presence of God is through my grateful generosity when I take what I have been given, when I show what I have been shown, when I bless as I have been blessed; I am practicing my destiny, I am touching the face of God, and I am experiencing the eternal right now. Because forever has no beginning and no end. And we connect with it through our gracious, grateful, generosity...
Surly this, surly goodness and mercy, surly these things are the most important legacy, and it is how we will dwell in the house of the Lord...forever."

Facing Our Fear of a World Gone Mad

Sun, 05 Jun 2016 10:00:00 +0000

The most significant enemies that attack our gratitude are not external, but internal: Comparison, expectation, unmet hopes and dreams, disappointment, disillusionment, and entitlement that says “You deserve more, you deserve better.” Instead, we should be thankful for the table God has set before us – grateful for all He has provided – in adversity, or prosperity.
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." - Psalm 23

Facing Our Fear of Death

Sun, 29 May 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Many of us have experienced the fear of death's arrival but as believers in Christ we need to walk in the confidence and knowledge that God will come through with His promises. The presence and the power of God brings us strength and comfort, even in the reality of death. Though we will face trials and tribulations in this life, let us be reassured by His works and relentless love so that we may walk in faith and peace with Him daily.

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
-Psalm 23:4

Facing Our Fear of The Future

Sun, 22 May 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Continuing in our study of Psalm 23, we looked at our fears of 'what will be'. When you find yourself worrying about the unknown in your future, it is good to reflect upon the things that God has done for you in the past because remembering God’s provision helps us relax and trust in Him. One day at a time: rest, refresh, be restored and re-commit.... And know that we don’t have to worry because God is always in control.

Facing Our Fear of Faith

Sun, 15 May 2016 10:00:00 +0000

We often experience fear but God says to cast all fears on Him. He is the Good Shepherd, and through faith in Him, we will not be in want.

All In To Follow Jesus

Storms of Life

Sun, 24 Apr 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Todd talks about hardships within his life and his son's life. Yet, God has always been there for them and because of God's love and kindness, they have dedicated their lives to Him. Who do you run to when you're left to deal with the wreckage from the storm?

Song of Relentless Love

Sun, 10 Apr 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Why is it always easier to do the wrong thing rather than it is to do the right thing? Why do we turn away from God? Why do we walk away from love?
We often want to control things and we tell ourselves that we don’t need anyone else because we can handle everything on our own. But the truth is we were never fashioned to do it alone; we were fashioned to walk through life with God and it is by His love that we are able to overcome the hardest situations in life. So let’s abandon our pride and trust in Him, let’s choose to walk everyday with God, and let’s choose to love as we have been loved so dearly by Him.

Song of Irrational Love

Sun, 03 Apr 2016 10:00:00 +0000

We explore the idea of love, but never exhaust it. When we say God is Love, we are saying it is infinite and exhaustive - bigger than the universe. That's what makes it so magnificent, so compelling. Love is not our personal catalog of experiences we have to describe love - even though they are legitimate: none alone are adequate. What are the limits of limitless love?

Easter - Holding On By Letting Go

Sun, 27 Mar 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Regardless of how we perceive Jesus, He not only meets our expectations but He exceeds them and today is our greatest reminder of His sacrificial love. His adoration for us is beyond what we can even fathom. We serve an awesome God!
