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?

A Tale of Three Kings: Almost—Three Steps to Failure

What keeps you from the greatness God has called you to be? Join us as we look at the lives of three kings whose lives and choices provide a map to great success or devastating failure.

The difference between success and failure begins in the smallest of choices. How did Saul become a failure? Physically he had “it.” Spiritually he had “it” – he was literally chosen by God. But in the end he killed hundreds of innocents and took his own life.

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: Tim Sullivan

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.

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?
