Our heart, and what it holds, can change the world depending on how we use it. But letting our flesh override the design God has created can lead to heartache, loneliness, and shame.

Is there an area in your work that feels like a wasteland? Do you need a stream of living water to flow through your vocation to experience purpose? Make one change to your routine today. Purpose doesn’t just happen, it’s chosen. Choose to live your vocation by design, not by default today.

How can you find purpose in every moment of your day? It’s time to start going first, instead of craving freedom.

Let me ask you a question: Do you smell like Jesus? In 2 Corinthians 2:14-15, the Apostle Paul says that Jesus had a fragrance about Him that made people want to be close to Him – it was called "Love!" They knew He loved them and valued them because when they encountered Him they experienced… Eye Contact… Heart Contact!

Our work is an opportunity to show Jesus to the world. If you don’t feel you’re able to do that, then maybe you’re in the wrong vocation. Life is too short to wake up every day miserable! Whether you're 25 or 50, if you’re miserable in your job, maybe God is nudging you to shift to a vocation where you’ll find that you have a purpose. Even if it means giving up the corner office to drive the garbage truck, if you find joy and feel like you’re doing what God designed you to do, DO IT!

God knew before the foundations of the earth, long before the Bible was written, how sex would be something beautiful and intimate within the context of marriage, and how it would destroy people and relationships outside the context of marriage.

Pastor Ken and Pastor Pam have a special Sunday message to share with our church family.

Our heart, and what it holds, can change the world depending on how we use it. But letting our flesh override the design God has created can lead to heartache, loneliness, and shame.

I believe there is great importance in talking about sex through a biblical framework. Why? Because sex was God’s idea. But one thing I wished I had learned early in life is that sex is not a tool to escape problems; it is not casual in nature; nor is it natural to cycle through partners. Sex is sacred.

Your body is meant for more than the world’s cheap versions of meaning. Your body is meant to house the Spirit of God. That means God is inviting us to a more meaningful perspective in regards to our bodies in every area of life.

I don't know that there is anything that appears more harmless… that is indeed… more harmful to what matters most in your life, and mine, than "The Lust of the Eye"!

I have always been an extrovert. I’d love to have a houseful of people every weekend talking about life and making new memories. So, why don’t I? Well, to be very clear, Ken is NOT. He is the epitome of an introvert. By the time we come home, he’s ready to sit in the recliner and shut out the outside world.
