Putting First Things First
WATCH What a shame… when you’re too busy working like Martha, you won’t rest at Jesus’ feet like Mary. Following God’s commandments is essential to a thriving life – and marriage. This week, Pastor James leads us through the command to rest, and the first command with a promise. If you don’t know them by […]
A Vertical View of Money
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it (Psalm 24:1, niv). How many of your decisions flow from your view of money? From your vacation plans to your lunch plans.

Missing Anything?
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing” (Luke 15:4–5, esv). Would this picture […]
