Babylonian Unwinding Stew

Stories of biblical spices and their relevance to the power of confession, faith, and focus.

Pita Bread

Five Days of Serving Kids

Pastor Julie Kocher covers what’s ahead at Vacation Bible School (VBS) this June and its positive impact on both kids and adults.

Because…Monsters Are Real

When Christ returns, sin, death, and Satan (i.e. our “monsters”) will be vanquished. And only a resurrected, living Jesus can return. God wins.

Because…Life is Beautiful

Life is a beautiful gift from God. And Jesus’ promise of an abundant life isn’t just for now. It’s forever–an eternal life where the beauty never ends.

Because…We Need Power

What kind of power do you need today…emotional, physical, spiritual? You can find it in the Holy Spirit. Another benefit of the resurrected Jesus.

Because…Guides Are Good

Life’s path doesn’t rely on GPS. It frequently routes us through rough terrain and uncertainty. The Resurrection matters because we have not only the guidebook to help, but the guide to show the way–and guides are good.

Because…Sometimes It Storms

There are times in life when we are filled with worry and doubt. The risen Jesus can calm our anxiety (and the storm).

Because…Someone Will Listen

Because of the Resurrection, Jesus is risen and alive. We may not see him physically, but we can talk to him 24/7–and he always listens.
