A Tale of Three Kings: Passivity and Shame

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by everything going on to the point that you felt incapable of moving forward? Maybe you needed to deal with a difficult situation but felt unqualified to handle it because of your own choices. King David goes from the pinnacle of greatness down a steep slope because he was unwilling to deal with what was necessary for him to deal with. Join us as we discover some essential things to keep us from going down that same road.

A Tale of Three Kings: Jealousy

The more jealous King Saul became, the more he lost. How can we avoid the same loss and failure? How can we cultivate an anti-jealous heart?

Money and Happiness: The Happiness of More

Sometimes less is more... but sometimes more is more! What do we need to do more of with our money to unlock more significance and joy that God wants for us?

 

Speaker: Kurt Goglin 

Money and Happiness: The Happiness of Less

What is the connection between money and happiness? Discover the paradox of when and how money and happiness collide.

Money can increase your joy, but too much of a “good thing” will make you tired and miserable. Embrace the counter-cultural happiness of the less God wants to give you.

Asking For a Friend: Should I Watch This?

Have you ever been watching a show or movie and it was all well and good and then suddenly it kind of takes a turn and you’re getting a little uncomfortable with it? All of a sudden, it’s not a movie you want to watch if your mom is in the room. Somewhere along the way, follower of Jesus or not, you might have asked the same question our friend asked: Should I watch this?

Asking For a Friend: Does God have an answer for my addiction?

Did you know that overdose is the leading cause of death for people under 50? More than heart disease, cancer, and homicide. Does God have an answer for those struggling to find freedom from addictions and substance abuse? Join us as we tackle a very relevant topic for our communities.

 

Speaker: Adam Morrill

Asking For a Friend: You do know that my anger is not my fault, right?

Anger is one of those things that is easy to spot in someone else, but can be harder to identify in our own lives. We can so easily blame-shift our anger to make it someone else’s fault: we did that thing or said those words or reacted that way. How do we break free from the vicious cycle of anger?

 

Speaker: Kurt Goglin

Asking for a Friend: Can You Follow God and Still Have Doubts?

Maybe you feel like you’re the only one? Or you worry, “If I ask, what will they think of me?"
When you doubt, you can feel like a spiritual failure or like you have gone apostate and fear being judged. But we want you to know this is a safe place to ask hard questions. God isn’t scared of your doubts and neither are we.

Asking for a Friend: When does God give up on you?

 In this series, we are going to bring up the issues we all deal with that don’t often get dealt with. 

 

Today’s question:

Asking for a friend, when does God give up on you? Like how bad is too bad for God? Is there some sin or something we could do that God would never want us?
