How’s Your Heart’s Soil? || Flourish

As we continue our series "Thrive", we take a look at a key part of the rich, fulfilled life Christ came to give us: the soil of our hearts.Are our hearts healthy and ready to receive God's seeds? Or are they hardened, rocky, and thorny preventing our spiritual growth?Jesus himself gave us 4 great examples of what spiritual soil looks like: 3 bad, 1 one great. Today, we glean strong warnings and stronger encouragement from the parables of Jesus.

In Every Season || Thrive

God made life to have seasons - both in nature and in our lives. We have highs and we have lows - and more specifically, sometimes our FAITH has highs and lows. But even through summer and winter, God's desire is for us to thrive in every season. If our faith runs deep, so can our sense of purpose and peace. Today, we learn what it takes to that have that kind of faith.

A Look at Lucy Farrow || Honoring Black History Month

We continue our weekly honor of Black History Month - honoring the incredible victories God has performed in and through the African American community.This week, we honor a champion of the faith: Lucy Farrow. She was born a slave and flourished into a powerful revivalist, most notably in the Azusa Street Revival. She's especially beloved in Charismatic traditions for the way spiritual gifts followed her ministry. Wherever she went, so did God's supernatural power.Join us in praising God for her life, ministry, and legacy. Remember that no matter who you are or where you come from, God's gifts are for ALL of His children. Just like Lucy, be willing to say "Here am I. Send me!"

Jesus Washes Feet || Love Like Jesus

The life of Jesus is our model for how we should live. And sometimes, that model calls us to roll up our sleeves to do the work most of us prefer to avoid. When it comes to our love for each other, Jesus sets the example of washing each others feet - a beautiful picture of love, service, forgiveness, and redemption. Dive in with us as reflect on this story and prepare our own hearts for the same work.

Celebration & Struggle || Honoring Black History Month

As a church, our heart is to celebrate Black History month within our body and with the diverse network of churches in our region and beyond.

Jesus Our Healer || Love Like Jesus

Loving like Jesus is more than "natural" kindness... it's supernatural too. Jesus showed us how to love by healing people - in heart, in mind, and in body. And He's given us the power to continue loving like Him in all three ways.

Jesus Forgives Sinners || Love Like Jesus

The mission of the Church is to "love like Jesus". Some days more than others, that's hard work. And few parts of that are harder than forgiveness. But Jesus didn't just forgive - He forgave us, even though we were sinners. We could learn a thing or two from that kind of tough love.
