Don't Let Anger Control You / Triggered / Week 6
Anger and rage seem to be all too common in our world today. Everyone seems to have a short fuse! We see it online, through the media, on our commutes, and in our relationships. It's the default emotion when things don't go right, and this intense emotion can be very destructive when handled in unhealthy ways. In this sermon, we'll be learning from the Bible how we can navigate the complexities of anger, how to avoid its destructive tendencies, and how to mange this emotion in a God-honoring way.

Stopping Guilt From Becoming Shame / Triggered / Week 2
Nobody wants to feel guilty or ashamed. We try to make excuses or shift blame so that we can avoid these feelings. But the reality is dealing with feelings of guilt and shame are a part of being human! In this sermon, we work to understand why God allows us to feel these difficult emotions and see how the Bible says we can go about dealing with these feelings in a more healthy way.

Why My Emotions Matter To God / Triggered / Week 1
Let's be real, our emotions can be super complex and downright frustrating at times. Sadness, anger, fear and love: if we're honest, it's a lost easier to numb or dismiss these emotions than deal with them! We often separate them from our spirituality, thinking they are two separate things, but what if God sees your emotions differently and deeply cares how you feel? In this sermon, we will see that God designed you to have "all the feels", and by understanding and embracing God's design our emotions can lead to a deeper understanding of God and allow us to grow in our faith.

Neighboring Above And Beyond / Like A Good Neighbor / Week 4
We all work really hard to make our lives easy and comfortable. But when it comes to loving our neighbor, Jesus says it's more than being friendly and polite. In fact, He says truly loving our neighbor will often cost us something and push us beyond our comfort zones. In this sermon, we explore why we are so uncomfortable with this idea and also why making such a countercultural decision to love others is worth it.

Why Hospitality Matters / Like A Good Neighbor / Week 3
For most of us hospitality is reserved for family and friends around birthday parties, BBQ's, and holidays. Our busy, fast-paced lives and our reliance on technology can often distract us from spending time with those around us. But here's the thing: hospitality is more than just being polite. It's about loving your neighbor, just like Jesus taught us. In this sermon, we talk about how hospitality is more than just being a good neighbor, and we'll give you some simple, practical ideas for inviting others into your space without it being awkward,

What Loving Your Neighbor Means / Like A Good Neighbor / Week 1
When we hear the phrase "love your neighbor" we often think of treating others with kindness, compassion, and respect. To be a good human is to "love your neighbor". But what if that's not what Jesus meant? What if it's not a metaphor, but a command to love your actual neighbor? In this sermon, we see from the Bible what it means to love your neighbor, who your neighbor actually is, and what steps you can take to start doing so.

How Difficulties Expose Your True Self / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 3
When facing adversity, tough circumstances, and difficult people, we tend to react...well, poorly. After all, we were wronged! It wasn't our fault! We deserve better! But our reactions act like a mirror that reflects what's in our hearts, and exposes our hidden thoughts and character. And at times, when what's in our hearts comes out through our words and actions, it can even surprise us! So what do we do about it? In this sermon, we discover that we have a choice in how we respond in these situations and learn from the Bible how to allow God to grow and transform us into the people He wants us to be through these times.

When Life Gets Tough / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 2
We've all experienced those moments when it feels like everything in our lives is falling apart. We long for comfort, security, and immediate solutions. We want God to fix our problems and make everything better. And when it doesn't happen, doubts and questions start to surface. But these are the moments where our faith is tested. In this sermon, we will see that God is not distant in hard times and that when we trust God in the midst of hardship, something incredible happens. God uses those hard times to shape us, to grow us, and to strengthen our faith.
