The Great Commission. 

The Great Commission.

Peter denies Jesus.

Peter walks on water!

Listen to announcements, musical worship, and the staff team talk about how "Love Over Fear" means that even though our everyday lives have changed.... Jesus everyday love will NEVER change. (Not included: games & small group instructions.) We understand this is fairly low quality -- but wanted to share it with y'all. :) 

"What if we were honest about our fear and let Jesus meet us with His Love?" Listen to Kristin's teaching, imaginative prayer, and worship songs from Prayer Night! 

Dave Bartlett shared 12 different lies that the world tells us about sex including: you are not normal, God is against sex, pornography doesn’t hurt anyone, and more. This is a great resource for parents/guardians as they continue this conversation with their students!

"Why does Jesus matter?" Because He changes your story. 

"Our first step is to remind ourselves the kind of God we are meeting with… If you want to know God, you have to spend time with him…"

A quick glimpse of 275+ Junior High students worship Jesus and a reminder that "God promises can be trusted."

God doesn't answer all of our questions -- I don't know why -- but He does give us opportunities to step out and claim everyday who He made us to be. God says, "Come as you are and I will be with you." Gideon too came out of hiding and God used him in amazing ways. YOU -- YOU -- YOU have so much to offer.

"Remember there are no unimportant roles in God's Kingdom."

In an overwhelming world, God promises  P E A C E  through being still in Him. How do you react to trials? In hopelessness? or in anxiety? or in fear?

"Even though I know this story... it's easy to forget that Jesus died for me. I have to remind myself over and over that Jesus the perfect Lamb died and His blood set me free." 

What excuses do you have?

Joseph had many ups and downs in life and yet He trusted God.

“If God could love Jacob as dirty and dishonest as he was... maybe He could love me with all the lust, dishonesty, pride & all that’s broken in my life too. Maybe you need to realize that Truth too. — God will always love you and He will never give up on you.” + Psalm 139

God is jealous for us and God is awesome!

"How is God a loving God when the world is so messed up?"
