What is it that causes us as individuals to become complacent in our relationship with God? We begin to live as though we are fine exactly the way we are, and this comes from the deceiver who wants to convince us that we do not need God. As we look to Jesus, he empowers us to lay aside this and other wrong mindsets and take steps to follow him.
God's Warning to the Church
September 1, 2024 • Chris Atkins • Revelation 3:14–22
The Heart of the Church
August 25, 2024 • Dan Londeree • Acts 2
Running to Win
August 11, 2024 • Dan Londeree • 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, Acts 2:42–47
"Run to win." This is Paul's exhortation to the believers in Corinth, and it should resonate with us as well. While we should each pursue Jesus with everything in us, we also need to develop a vision of what it looks like to pursue him together as a community of believers.

River of Life, Part 7: Recharge
July 28, 2024 • Dan Londeree • Colossians 3:22–24, Matthew 11:28–30, Mark 2:27–28, Exodus 20:8–10
God's design for the cycle of work and rest is intentional. He set the example for us in His work of creation and gave specific instructions to the nation of Israel through His law. Even today, following that cycle and having the right motivation for work and rest is what is best for us.

River of Life, Part 4: Content
July 7, 2024 • Dan Londeree • Philippians 4:11–13, 1 Timothy 6:6–9
We live in a culture that pushes us to constantly strive for more. There are two sides to this coin. And these two sides might not be as clear as we would like them to be. Can a person be content and still have a desire to strive for more? For the believer, motives are the key.
River of Life, Part 3: Living Water
June 16, 2024 • Dan Londeree • John 7:37–39, John 4:1–24, 2 Corinthians 1:21–22, Romans 8:15–17
There are two instances in the Gospel of John that record Jesus speaking of living water. When we consider these, along with other biblical references that are similar, we can easily see that Jesus is teaching about the power of the Holy Spirit to give life. God will not force us to open ourselves to the flow of this living water. He invites us to make that choice.
