The Struggle Within
Do you ever feel like you are living a contradiction? You know what is right, but don’t always do it. You delight in God’s law, but parts of you covertly rebel. Why is it that we sometimes don’t feel free? Romans 7-8 speaks to us about the struggle within. The good news is that Scripture is honest about the struggle, but offers the hope of freedom at the same time. Today in the Word, we will look more closely at one of the most realistic yet hopeful passages in the Bible.

Waiting (Psalm 40)
Life is filled with all sorts of landscape. An all terrain faith is equally balanced for the breathtaking view from the mountaintop and the confusing trek though a cold, dark valley. It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

The Psalms are a window into the soul in all its complexity and variety. Christians often think the negative or dark emotions are sign of immaturity or a lack of faith. But, in fact, all our emotions reveal our deepest questions about God and our invitations to a greater faith.

Christian Doubt
We all doubt in some way. It's harmful to withdraw asking the tough questions. If God is real & true, and we believe He is, then He should be able to handle the real us. Real struggles; real questions.

The Mysterious Comfort of a God Who Fights Against Us
This sermon unpacks one of the strangest stories of the Bible: Jacob's wrestling with God. Join us as we explore the mystery of confronting the Terrible-Beautiful God. God sometimes comes as an adversary, but broken and sinful people who surrender to Him find new life and blessing. As C. S. Lewis once portrayed Him: "He's good, but not safe."
