It's A Miracle! It's A God Thing! Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021

The people of God had a thirst for the living God. There’s a hunger for God’s presence. If you want to deepen your experience of Jesus, it’s nearly always because of times of extraordinary prayer.

Today we begin a new study on the book of Acts (page 1156 in your pew Bibles). Acts is one large story but a lot of little stories inside the big story.

Let God Be God

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025

When denial dies and we stop playing God, repentance opens the heart to mercy, and grace restores joy that guilt once stole.

When we stop trying to be God, something in us exhales—and God can ...read more

The Nativity Set:: The Shepherds Series

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Dec 13, 2011

The story of the Shepherds reminds us that to find the heart of Christmas we must look beneath the wrapping paper.

The last few embers of the fire are dying out. The air hangs heavy with a silence broken only by the occasional bleat of a lamb.
