"Community"
Growing Up Series
1 Peter 2:4-10
We often think we can grow on our own. If we work harder or discipline ourselves more we will do more. But the only way we grow is in community. However, community is not something we cleverly fit together, it is formed around two key elements: shared identity and shared mission. When either or both are missing you just have a bunch of individuals piled up. God calls us to be a community that displays Him as He shapes and reshapes us to be that community with one shared identity and one shared mission.

"Something Better Than Happiness"
Mixtape Series
1 Kings 19:1-7
What makes life worth living? The pursuit of happiness is fine, so far as it goes. But happiness comes and goes. If happiness is the point, where does that leave us when tragedy strikes? A bad diagnosis, an economic downturn, a painful divorce, a betrayal. Everyone faces hardship eventually. What makes it worth it? In the life of Elijah, in his darkest moments of despair, God gives a glimpse of something even better than happiness.

Hebrews 12:1-2
When perfection becomes the goal, it becomes the enemy of progress—and in this way, it often distracts us from taking the essential risk of moving forward.
