"Dear Woman, why are you sobbing?” are quite possibly the first words Jesus said after He was resurrected. He sweetly met Mary Magdalene by the tomb in the moment of her pain.

The word NO is an anointed word. It’s a very important word. Your no is just as important as your yes. And sometimes that means you will say no to ministry, to an invitation to serve, to spending time with friends. It’s not about isolating yourself. It's about recognizing a season to pull back and find some solitude. This month Kim shares what we c…

Have you ever felt mentally exhausted and physically tired, but instead of resting, you throw yourself into the next project or the next item on your todo list? Or maybe you just have another cup of coffee. Because there’s no time for rest. June marked the beginning of the Bagels & Bible summer series, where Kim looks to Jesus as our example of how…

How do you respond when problems come up in your life? Are you an optimist? “God is in control, He’s got this, things will work out, I trust God”…. Or are you a worrier and complainer? “This is hopeless, why does it always happen to me, there is no way for this to work out.” For some of us, trials don’t always bring “God is good all the time!” We s…

Is the purpose of prayer just to change us? Do our prayers impact God at all? Is it like a “one and done” or do we keep praying? God is sovereign but what does that mean? Is there a point of praying if He will do what He already planned anyway? In this message, Kim looks at these questions and more as she teaches on what the bible says about prayer…

In a world of trying to measure up (exhausting, right?), we can really get down on ourselves. But we are not called to measure up to any person or any worldly ideal of value.

This is a great message by Pastor Heather MuncyAutor: Heather Muncy

As much as we mean it when we sing “I Surrender All” in church, surrendering isn't always fun. Surrendering means we set aside our time tables, our dreams, and our wants - for a bigger purpose and a bigger picture that we can't yet see. It also obligates us to take our eyes off of ourselves and humbly serve where, and to whom, God calls us. This me…

What do you do when you find yourself in a storm and Jesus doesn’t come walking out on the water? In fact, your boat breaks apart and leaves you treading water and swimming for shore?
