07.07.23. Let's be honest. It's too easy for us to forget God. When times are good, we're lost in the blur of blessings and forget about him. When times are bad, our hearts focus on the pain and we forget about him. So the big question is: how do we remember God? As Pastor Mike finishes teaching ...

Is it OK to build a relationship on lies? Well, I guess it depends, because people are now being pressured to call a man a woman and vice versa if that's what a person wants. Culture wants to dictate our feelings and attitudes and will go to great lengths to do this. There are some movements that...

06.23.23. How much should we plan our lives when we know God's got plans for us? Should we be ruthless and driven about planning our schedules and our lives? Or should we be so trusting and so faithful that we just wait to see where God takes us? The answer, Pastor Mike says, comes from understan...

It's easy for us to get caught up in the comparison game, wishing we had more significant talents, gifts, and roles. But instead of wishing we had others' gifts, Pastor Andrew says, take a look at what special gifts God's already given us.

Usually when we think of doing something significant, we think of the big and impressive: missionary work overseas, large donations, serving the underserved. But Pastor Andrew encourages us first to think small—because that's what Jesus also said.

Sometimes we struggle with our purpose in life. What were we put on earth to do? What if it doesn't feel significant enough? Pastor Andrew recently struggled with this question as well, until he remembered this special verse about God and us.

We want to do something significant with our lives, but we don't always know how. God doesn't tell us how many hours we should work or what profession we should choose. But what he does tell us is that his way of measuring our significance is the opposite way the world measures significance.

When we have moments that make us feel small, as if we're just numbers or faces in the crowd, we often feel like we're not that significant. But Pastor Andrew reminds us: God has something to say about how much we matter.

The worst kind of friend is one who is really an undercover enemy. A person may be a friend in one aspect and an enemy in another, but how do you distinguish the difference? We have to beware of our greatest frenemy. Likewise, we have to be thankful for our greatest Friend, who has undoubtedly pr...

Amber drops a quick video to let our viewers know that the video version of "Little Things" will now publish on Monday mornings. However, the podcast version will still publish Sunday mornings!

06.16.23. What we go through—the good, the bad, and everything in between—is not random. It's not a matter of luck. Because there is no such thing as coincidence, Pastor Mike says. Reading from the book of Esther, we see that God has reasons and purposes for all the things he does in our lives. K...
