Conflict And Community: Jesus' Story And Your Story
Each of you has a story which has been written on your heart by your experiences, family, teachers, friends and culture. This story shapes everything about you: how you view God, how you respond to the news, how you spend your time and money, how you relate to other people, and how you view yourself. Connecting your story with the true story of the Risen Jesus gives you a radically new story of death, life and yourself.

The Suffering of The Mission and The Call To Perseverance
This message is a call for all of us to give our lives to loving God with all our hearts and proclaim his beauty to our neighbors. It is a call that when heeded leads inevitably to weariness, discouragement and suffering. In the midst of our inevitable suffering comes the subtle temptation of Satan to return to a more comfortable life. This message is a call to fight that temptation with a vision of the glory of God that is more beautiful than the empty comforts of this world. It is a call to set our eyes upon our savior who gave up the comforts of heaven and earth to be rejected, suffer, and die for us. As we do this we will find that suffering on mission is far more satisfying then the comforts of this world.

How do we respond when God seems distant and life seems futile? Listen to the way the psalmist deals with himself in Psalm 42 for some simple and helpful practical ideas.

When I Am Discouraged
In our most honest moments, we would all confess to experiencing a season of depression. Maybe we would call it the blues, feeling "bummed," discouragement, or a dark night of the soul. In gripping language, the Psalmist himself makes this confession, and shows the way toward hope in the midst of hopelessness.

Where is Your Shack?
We all find ourselves, at one time or another, doubting God, angry at God, or both. But God loves us and wants to reassure us of his love. His invitation is always open to enter into his presence and spend time with him alone.
