Live Well

Live in Hope

April 2, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Psalm 71:12–18

Hope is more than optimism, more than wishful thinking. Hope is faith in the present tense. How can we continue to hope when we are in the deepest valleys of life?

Spiritual Practices: Serving Others

March 28, 2023

This week our spiritual practice is to live humbly by serving others. How might you serve someone this week without receiving accolades? How might you serve in secret?

Live Humbly

March 26, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Psalm 147:1–6, Matthew 20:20–28

C.S. Lewis said, "humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less." Being humble means not being focused on yourself. God values humility, but how can we become more humble?

Spiritual Practices: Generosity

March 21, 2023

This week, we're talking about generosity and being intentionally extravagant with our words, time, money, even with our very selves. What are you going to do this week to experience the joy of generosity?

Live Generously

March 19, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Psalm 23

Fear comes with the mindset of self-preservation, while joy comes from self-giving. How can we live in the joy of generosity and without the fear of self-preservation?

Spiritual Practices: Praise

March 14, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle

This week's spiritual practice is praise. We build authenticity as we celebrate who God is and that we are made in God's image. How are you praising God this week?

Live Authentically

March 12, 2023

We live in a world of social media where many of us show others only a curated sliver of our lives, so others will accept us. We manage our image, we dress and speak and act in a way we think others will like. We need a life of authenticity -- living out of our true selves.

Spiritual Practices: Prayer

March 7, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle

Prayer is this week's spiritual practice. In the message on Sunday, Pastor Barnabas talked about simple prayers -- please, thank you, and I'm sorry. What can you thank God for today?

Spiritual Practices: Fasting

February 28, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle

During our Live Well sermon series, we are exploring spiritual practices. This week, we try fasting. What habit will you break this week in a time of fasting?

Live Connected

March 5, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Psalm 116

This Lent we are talking about how to live well, how to form habits in our lives that fill us with abundance. One of those habits is prayer. Prayer is not complicated: it’s simply talking to God, and the good news is that God listens.

Live Deeply

February 26, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Barnabas Sprinkle • Psalm 1

Many are chasing after things that do not satisfy. The blessed life has substance and significance. How do we get there?
