Growing In Sabbath Rest

May 5, 2024 • Jonathan Guevara • Psalm 23

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29.

Our souls need rest. But we are restless until we find rest in Christ alone.

Dealing With Grief, Sadness, and Loss

May 12, 2024 • Brian Offutt • Job 1

We have all experienced grief and loss at different times, and we know the pain that life can certainly bring. The question is, how do we grow through these moments of sadness, heartache, and disappointment?

Growing In Silence & Solitude

April 28, 2024 • Brian Offutt • Luke 5:15–16, Mark 1:35

How would you describe your prayer life? Consistent? Inconsistent? Regular rhythms or a bit sporadic? Non-existent? If our prayer life is anything like mine, it probably has ups and downs. In other words, there are times (seasons) when our prayer life is “better” or “stronger,” and then there are times when it’s a bit more “anemic.” Our relationship with God can be described as “peaks” and “valleys.” Well, regardless of where you are in your current “walk,” we can certainly all grow in this area of developing a better prayer life. we will be talking about the connection between developing emotionally healthy spirituality and our prayer life. Ultimately, prayer is about spending time with God, spending time in His presence in order to be with Him, and being transformed by His presence.
