Suffering Leads to Hope
In this exhortation, Jon Hoglund exhorts us to turn to God’s sovereignty in the fight for faith when facing trails of various kinds because he cares for us in every situation. Have the difficulties you’ve encountered helped you grow in endurance, character, and hope?
In this exhortation, Ryan Griffith gives an analogy for the Christian life about looking to the horizon rather than being sucked into only what’s right in front of us. We must not lose sight of who we are and whose we are.
In this exhortation, Pete Gregory exhorts us to bring together the dual disciplines of prayer and bible reading in a way that we would have genuine fellowship with God and avoid an impersonal or shallow view of scripture.
In this exhortation, Deacon Peter Christenson exhorts us with a memory of his grandfather’s singing and Luke 6:45 to saturate our hearts in God’s praise.
In this sermon, Ryan Griffith expounds upon Psalm 104 which is a poem with vivid, worship-evoking imagery that retells the important story of Genesis 1-3. It calls us to bless the Lord and fuels the consummation of that praise.

In this exhortation, Pastor Max Kozak reflects on the type of man Psalm 1 describes and exhorts us to be faithful and patient, delighting in God’s Word daily.
In this exhortation, Jon Hoglund addresses the worthy people-oriented focus of the Great Commission. The heart of our mission is cultivating vibrant and growing relationships with real people in our home, neighborhood, and city.
