On a journey to address some of his major shortcomings and challenges in life, Carlos Whittaker enters into a pretty intense therapy retreat. Don’t let the therapy idea scare you. It’s not filled with therapeutic dialogue. It’s one man’s journey to finding the root cause of the troubles he’s facing. The premise of the book…
Three pretty significant things happen in the text for this past Sunday’s message. Feel free to check that out here. The Bible story was from John 2:1-12. It’s a familiar passage commonly referred to as the Wedding at Cana or the Water into Wine Miracle. Many of us approach this passage with questions and wonder…
This week we take another famous section of Scripture and look at it from another angle. It’s called the wedding at Cana. Jesus performs his first miracle there. Jesus’ first miracle is often talked about for its uniqueness. Why the water? Why the wine? Why the stone jars? This week we’re going to reframe this…

People go out of their way to make others feel more loved. It’s the season of giving. It’s the season of generosity. But before we celebrate all of those thing, give a moment and pause to remind yourself what this day is really all about.
Darkness is sometimes comforting because you can hide the things you don’t want seen. But darkness is also somewhat terrifying because we don’t know what’s lurking in the dark recesses of our lives. This week we journey into the darkness to find the power of the light. We look at one verse in John’s gospel…
It’s kind of a weird statement. God is our living branch? What’s that about anyway? A shoot from a stump will grow into a tree? How does that apply to my life? I don’t even have trees in my lawn? This week we journey closer to the celebration of Christmas. In this journey we find…
