Starting the week of August 28, we are beginning a six-week teaching series called Holy Sexuality. We will be looking at God’s design, our brokenness, and what the Bible has to say about our sexuality and what it means that Jesus brings redemption and calls us to holy living. We know these will be emotionally laden topics for all of us in different ways, and address issues that can be divisive or sensitive to navigate. Over the next four weeks, we want to create space for God to move in our hearts as we seek to be people filled with the peace of God, in a world that is anything but peaceful. Each week has one passage to focus on and some suggestions for how to clear space in your heart and life to be ready to hear what God has for you. 

As we look at the Old and New Testament to see how God prepared for Jesus to come, this final devotional series examines Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promise.

Proverbs provides practical help for everyday life. Written by the wisest man to ever live, Proverbs warns us about the people and pitfalls we’d do well to avoid. And, it gives us insight into how to be successful at work, at home, in relationships, and with our money. Proverbs is not a list of promises, but a list of timeless instructions from God. In each wise saying, we discover how to handle every situation.

As we look at the Old and New Testament to see how God prepared for Jesus to come, this second devotional series examines God as the restorer of our relationships - with Him, with ourself, with our neighbor and with our enemies.

“Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee.” Never before have so many of us felt the restlessness Augustine described with this famous sentence. But what is the solution to our lack of true rest? As this three day plan will show, the solution partially lies in viewing the ancient practice of Sabbath through a different lens—through the lens of “Thee”—Jesus—our ultimate source of peace.

Whenever “keeping the Sabbath holy” is presented as an arbitrary command, God quickly turns into a dictator whose job is to invent rules to make us miserable. In the New Testament, Jesus often broke the Sabbath to prove to law-keepers that they had missed the whole point: God has a vision for human flourishing. God has a specific shape of life in which we can be blessed—and believe it or not, resting is part of this. In fact, teenagers (whose whole goal in life is to sleep in as late as humanly possible, amiright?) might be better Sabbath-keepers than we parents. Let’s explore the “big picture” of God’s design for human flourishing and, from this, begin to understand why the Sabbath is relevant (and even fun!) for families today.

Possibly one of the most debilitating and demotivating feelings we experience, shame is a powerful influence in all of our lives. Yet most of us were never taught how to deal with it well, if at all. This Guide aims to help you break free from your own shame while creating a shame-free atmosphere for your kids.

As we look at the Old and New Testament to see how God prepared for Jesus to come, this fourth devotional series examines Jesus as the King who crushes the sin in our life and leads us into a new way of living through His strength alone.

Teen sleep habits and needs are influenced by much more than wanting to rest. This Parent Guide will help you understand your teen’s sleep needs and give you tools to help your teen create better sleep habits. God designed us with mind, body, and spirit, so it’s important that we see how each of these is inextricably linked to each other and how an imbalance in one tremendously impacts the others.

Smartphones aren’t just a fad like the latest TV show or social media app. One journalist believes that smartphones have, in fact, “revolutionized society.” While extreme, this statement might not be an exaggeration. Instead, we need to recognize the legitimate benefits and dangers of the smartphone and assess those within a biblical framework while teaching our “digital natives” to do the same.

Spotify is the world’s most popular music streaming app, competing with services like Apple Music and Pandora.

And as a parent, you might be wondering how Spotify works, whether it’s like other social media apps, and how to keep your children safe from inappropriate content.
