Rediscovering Who God Is

Exodus 34:1-9 – God provided Moses with a description of Himself that became one of the most repeated characterizations in the Bible. As we unpack who God says He is, we discover the beauty and balance of His nature. 

Outlook Magazine

We have much to celebrate as a church, and we don't want to rush by the opportunity to do so. Our Outlook Magazine celebrates what Jesus did among us in 2023 and anticipates what He will do in 2024.

Peaceful Family Gatherings

Regardless of your specific traditions, Thanksgiving week is often characterized by food, family, and football, but for many of us, it's also known for frustration. It's time to go the second mile in having peaceful family gatherings.

Many churches struggle because they expect the pastor to do what he is called not to do. Your leader's role is not to do all the ministry required but to equip the membership to meet all needs together.

Intentional Encouragement

While we all need to be encouraged, we all don’t need to be encouraged in the same way. Depending upon how we are wired and what is happening, we need something different from those around us.

Worship Naysayers

2 Samuel 6:16-23 – At the end of the Ark’s reinstatement at the center of God’s people, David was surprised to encounter such disdain from one so close to him. To lead out in worship, we must learn how to handle worship naysayers.
