This Sunday, we wrapped up our “One Another” series with a message from Pastor Mike Evans, titled “Encourage One Another.” It is so crucial that we focus on what the Bible teaches us about being involved in each other’s lives and how God calls us to interact with each other. Our prayer is that God would use this message to help those listening to take their next step spiritually by drawing near to God and to “one another” in terms of growing together in community.

One of the great challenges that all of us are facing during this season of quarantine Is to accurately evaluate and maintain a strong level of spiritual, emotional, and mental health. Learning how to be healthy on the inside, so that we are honestly able to overflow healthy people on the outside, is the focus of this Mother's Day message, delivered together by Pastor Christian and his wife, Danielle. In this week’s podcast, we discuss how to examine ourselves and to learn how to live and love out of the “overflow” of having healthy spiritual hearts.

Well, this was the most “different” Easter that we as a church have ever experienced! But, as Pastor Christian shared in his message, this Easter was more like how the very first Easter looked, the “in homes” part. And with this month being one of the craziest that any of us have ever lived through - hard for many, scary for some, lonely for most, we want to be reminded that Easter and the resurrection of Jesus represent the light that can change our perspective and our security.
