How does it make you feel when someone else is better than you at something that you think you're good at? When someone gives you advice regarding something you already know?

Claude Atcho discuss the great sin, and how we can overcome it in Christ.

Have you ever felt like you were at "the end of your rope"? The story of David shows us an example of a man after God's own heart, and how he processes being at his wit's end in the wilderness. Here, Pete uses this story to show how strength can be found in God in the darkest of circumstances. 

What's more important, where you go, or how you get there? Here, Thomas Hamilton walks us through the story of Saul chasing David through the desert, where David must choose between his own desires and trusting the Lord. This is our fourth sermon in our series "Step by Step", where we walk through David's life and see what life is like when one pursues God's heart.

Do you view your situation the same way that God does? In this week's episode, Pete walks us through the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, and how David saw the encounter through God's lens, rather than the lens of his fellow Israelites. This is the second message in our series Step by Step, where we are looking at the life of David to see what it looks like to search after God's heart.

Do you feel unseen or unheard? David's story shows us that God loves and chooses those who society deems as unworthy or lesser. Join us as Pete walks us through David's anointing in our new series "Step by Step", where we see what it looks like to search after God's heart.

Is loneliness the new normal? Why do we feel so disconnected in such an interconnected society? Listen to guest speaker and apologist Nathan Rittenhouse discuss the role of community in our lives, and what Christian faith says about its nature.

What was God doing before he created the world? What did Jesus mean when He said that the love the Father has for Him may be in us and that He Himself may be in us?
