We all have moments where we feel like a puppet on a table—lifeless, empty, and in need of a hand to animate us. That “hand” is the power of encouragement. It’s the force that infuses heart where there is none and reminds us of the hope we have in a faithful God.
Join us for the first message in our “The Wonder of You” series as we unpack the biblical call to “come alongside” one another. Learn how the challenges you’ve survived are not wasted, but are uniquely positioning you to be the very person someone else needs to hear from today.

Imagine a faith so focused that every day becomes an opportunity for growth. That’s the power of finding your one word for the year. It’s more than a goal; it’s a theme, a prayer, and a declaration of where you believe God is leading you.
In this powerful conclusion to our series, we explore how to distill your spiritual hopes, struggles, and dreams into a single concept. From a desire to be “Unoffendable” one year to “Tenacious” the next, see how this simple practice builds on itself to create a legacy of faith. You were created to be more, to go deeper, and to live a life of purpose. It might just start with one word.

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a complete story in only six words. His response was devastatingly brilliant. What if we applied the same challenge to our spiritual lives?
This video kicks off a new series, “Word Up,” where we learn to boil down the complexities of our lives and faith into a single, powerful focus. Tonight, we start with six words. You’ll be guided through a simple but profound exercise to craft a “six-word memoir” that captures where you are right now.
Discover how this practice can ignite your “actual imagination,” bring clarity to your spiritual condition, and prepare you to find the one word that will define your growth for the year ahead.

Ever wondered why a simple Christmas carol can move you to tears, or why even non-believers can’t help but sing along to “O Holy Night”? This isn’t just about nostalgia or holiday cheer. There’s a profound spiritual dynamic at play, a “fifth voice” that resonates deep within our souls.
Join us for a heartfelt and eye-opening discussion where we explore the deeper meaning behind our most cherished Christmas songs. We dive into the rich biblical history of singing as a response to God’s miracles and discuss the incredible idea that Jesus himself joins us in our worship.
From personal stories about a troublemaking sixth-grader who silenced a room with his voice, to a young Jewish girl joyfully singing carols she doesn’t “believe” in, we uncover how Christmas music acts as “little seeds” of faith planted in the most unexpected hearts. Discover why these timeless melodies are more than just a tradition—they are a powerful connection to our Creator, our memories, and each other.
You’ll never listen to your favorite Christmas song the same way again.
