Most people are familiar with the "David vs. Goliath" story. But, where did David get the courage to face that giant?!? That's what we're exploring as we revisit that famous scene.

Jesus releases his followers to walk in the world as sheep among wolves, and to do so while being "as shrewd as snakes, and as innocent as doves." What does Jesus mean by the strange metaphorical pairing of these animals?

Influence is everywhere! Being influential is now even a vocation! Are Christians called to be influential? What does a successfully influential Christian life look like?

When it comes to living a "successful" life, how we handle and process our pain is of the utmost importance.

We're kicking off a new series of sermons, called Success and the Shape of Life, that will explore how our definitions of a "successful life" have a huge impact on the kinds of lives that we live. This first message focuses on the "success scripts" we've been handed... and if we want to keep living according to them or not.
