In Hebrews we are commanded: "Be content with what you have." That means, to complain about our circumstances is to challenge the love and goodness of our heavenly Father. Today we explore what it means to be content and live simple.

In regards to the Sabbath, God “made it holy.” Neither work nor rest are curses, rather they are mandated blessings from God that call us to worship Him in every circumstance.

As believers, fellowship is vital for our spiritual health. God made us to enjoy fellowship with Himself and other believers. And our souls will wilt without godly fellowship being part of our lifestyles.

In reality, fasting is like the sasquatch of the spiritual disciplines. We hear about it at church, we’ve read about it in the scripture, but it’s rarely if ever spotted in our lives. Not only is fasting seldom preached, it’s even more scarcely practiced. Some have the idea that fasting is for monks or legalists, but it might challenge us to know that fasting is mentioned more in scripture than baptism. In fact, over 77 times the Word describes and details the act of fasting in both the Old and New Testaments. For the early church, fasting was normal & expected in the life of believers, however, over time for us it has become strange.

Join us as we look at the Easter story and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! "“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him."

We look this week at John 18 and the failure of apostle Peter as he denies Jesus three times. We are often fail, yet through our struggles Jesus is faithful to show us grace and redeem our biggest missteps.

Listen in as ex Navy SEAL Chad Williams shares his testimony and teaches out of 2 Kings 5 about the life of Naman.

"I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth."

In John 16 Jesus tells the disciples some difficult, yet important, news: He must go so that the Spirit may come. He gives three main roles that the Spirit fills in the lives of Christians: His presence, conviction, and guidance in our lives.

Jesus has just celebrated Passover with His disciples. He knows He’ll be hanging on a cross by 9am the next morning. So, He wants to download some important stuff into their memory bank. That’s where we are in John 15.

Sometimes, you feel like life is a semi truck & you’re a bug that hits the windshield. Your kids are acting like rabid animals, your boss is crazier than a sprayed roach, your marriage smells so bad it makes right guard turn left. Sometimes, life bites. That’s what’s happening in John 14.
