The Word of Life
Lots of things pull at us, telling us that this is the life—success, popularity, power. Yet they can be gone in a flash. Only by resting in the truth of God’s perfect love engulfing us can we find real life.

Overheated Lives
There are times in our lives when we are burning the candle at both ends. When we feel exhausted or burned out. Do we blame jobs, kids, spouse, society, sports, social media, or…? It doesn’t really matter. What does is that the body, mind, and spirit need rest to survive and thrive. And God provided a great way for that rest.
Heated Politics
How do you respond when political debate gets heated and you’re tempted to treat someone as less than a human, label them by their politics, and thus justify your anger and your un-Christlike response?
Hot Relationships
Nothing "steamy" here (besides the weather). No, we're talking about "heated"—as in heated arguments. How do we "bring down the temperature" when we find ourselves upset or angry with others?
Like Seeds of Wheat
We wrap up our gardening series with the resurrection. It’s like seeds of wheat that are buried, then they come to life looking completely different than the seed that was originally planted. And they grow forever.

Add Some Manure
It would be easy to pre-judge this message and say it stinks, but then you’d be missing out on its relevance for growth as a Christian (hint: think fertilizer).
VBS 2026 Recap
This past week, over 50 kids attended VBS each day at Resurrection from 9a to noon to explore the nature of God and have fun. Wondering what you missed? You’re about to find out.
Tiny Faith is Huge
The examples of our “little faith” in the Bible all share a common thread: they don’t stop Jesus from working. Because what matters most is not the size of our faith, but the size of our God.
