What does it take to run the spiritual race well?

In Week 4 of our HABITS series, we're looking at the discipline of an athlete versus the discipline of a disciple.

Big Idea: Church involvement means working together to put others first.

Using the testimony of former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bradie James and the blueprint of the early church in Acts 2, we explore why "hanging out" as a church is about much more than just a weekly meeting—it’s about a world-changing lifestyle of generosity and fellowship.

How many miles does your thumb travel every day? 📱

We spend hours scrolling through feeds that leave us feeling empty, yet we struggle to find five minutes for the Book that offers life.

In this third installment of our Habits series we offer a challenge: Scripture over Scrolling. It’s not about legalism; it’s about choosing a better rhythm for your soul.

Join us as we learn how to:

• Swap digital noise for God's peace.
• Make Bible study a "sticky" habit that actually lasts.
• Hear God’s voice over the "ping" of notifications.

Lean On Me: Why Even the Pros Need Accountability | H.A.B.I.T.S. (Week 2)

Description: "I run with purpose in every step." — 1 Corinthians 9:26

Welcome to Week 2 of our series, H.A.B.I.T.S.

This week we dive into the power of Accountability. We often think of accountability as a "policing" tool, but the Bible shows us it's actually a "healing" tool. In this message, we explore: How NFL stars use the YouVersion Bible App (along with its 1 billion+ global users) to stay disciplined.

Why "sharing our burdens" is the only way to build a foundation that lasts (1 Corinthians 3:11-15).

Practical ways to start a "Plan with Friends" and use the "Talk It Over" feature to grow together.

The wrapping paper is in the bin, the "new" has worn off the gifts, and the holiday hype is behind us. But what if the story isn't over? 🎁

In our final message of the year, we’re looking at why the Grinch didn't just stay on the mountain—he turned the sleigh around. From the "Who-ville" return trip to the story of a charred Stradivarius violin, we explore God not as a "scrap metal dealer," but as a Master Restorer.

Watch to discover:

• Why the "Sunday After" is the start of the Long Game.
• The difference between coping with a mess and total restoration.

Don't just "cope" with the post-holiday slump. Join us to see how the Master is making all things new.

Welcome to "Lights, Camera, Christmas!"

In this series, we step out of the holiday rush to examine the core themes of Advent through the eyes of the Christmas story characters.

A Surprise for Week 4... 🕯️

Today we will light the 4th candle of Advent—the candle of Love and unpack the faithfulness of Mary as a model for how we can live our lives in this crazy time.

If you feel 'entangled' in the mess of the news or the stress of the season, this message is for you. We’re mapping our fears to a Love that is stronger than the shadows. Don’t let the darkness extinguish your light. The King is on the move.
