- 601The Answer For Our AnxietyIn a society filled with worry and anxiety, the gospel encourages us in a different way of living. Statistics show that roughly 87% of the things we become worried or anxious about don't actually happen, but it becomes comfortable to live in states of chaos instead of entering into mindsets of peace. Regardless of what our circumstances lay in front of us, we can think better thoughts that are based on gospel truth and clarity. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Luis Guerrero shares three ways that God becomes the answer for our anxiety.
- 602Devoted DiscipleshipAs we grow in our walk with Jesus, our growth in Him is dependent on our personal devotion to His ways. In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter shares on intentional discipleship, truth that is transfered through relationship.
- 603When the Giving Gets ToughAs much as the world talks about money, so does the Bible. Jesus serves as our guide, helping us become not only wise stewards of our finances but also generous givers, for generosity reflects the very heart of God. In concluding our series The Lowly, Pastor Ryan Schlachter emphasizes that spiritual maturity is evident in how we approach generosity toward God and others. True humility involves letting God have the final say over our finances, inviting Him into our financial decisions with open hearts.
- 604Wasted ProximityGrace is a gift — God's closeness to us is pure grace. But as the parable of the Prodigal Son reveals, we can miss the fullness of it. In the parable, Jesus shows how both sons waste the grace of their father's love, whether through rebellion or resentment. As we begin our new series, Wasted Grace, Pastor Luis Guerrero reminds us that our identity as His children remains unchanged, and we serve a God who longs to be close to us.
- 605Idol of ApprovalIdols can be produced when good things can become ultimate things. More often than not, they stem from a deeper desire that can only be filled by our connection with God. On this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Amy Perez breaks down idols and how they can take hold of our lives.
- 606Don't Waste Your FoodAt our ALLIN Night, Pastor Ryan Schlachter encouraged us that we are obligated as believers to continue to mature in our faith so that we don't fall away into apostasy. Being able to eat solid, spiritual food is not achieved by becoming really intelligent but by becoming really obedient. May we be a people who walk in faithfulness to God more and more each day.
- 607Living On PurposeAs followers of Jesus, our identity is not defined by achievements, influence, or anything of worldly value. Above all, we are sons and daughters of God, graced with a unique purpose. We are entrusted with gifts and responsibilities, and how we respond to these reveals the condition of our hearts. In our series, Wasted Grace, Pastor Luis Guerrero uses the parable of the Prodigal Son to guide us in understanding what it means to live a life that recognizes God's grace and embraces the purpose He has given each of us.
- 608Invest Your VaporEcclesiastes states that life is fleeing, like a vapor. What we do with our life matters, and we have the opportunity to waste it or to invest it. We have a responsibility to be intentional with the time God has given us. Instead of spending our time chasing accolades and worldly success, He invites us to use it to sow into the eternal. In this week's message, guest speaker Micah McElveen encourages us on ways to steward our lives here on earth.
- 609The Value of FaithfulnessOn this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter talks about the importance of faithfulness that is only shaped over time.

- 610My Child, Come InsideWe are invited to live in God's house as celebrated, loved children.

In this Sunday's message, Pastor Kathryn Myers surfaces a soul-piercing question from this parable: will we mindfully say yes everyday to the many invitations God is extending us?
- 611Child-Like CuriosityChildren often ask insightful questions about their environments and how things work, but often we lose that curiosity as we grow up.

In this week's Leadership Lesson, Kids Ministry Director Steph Rivas shares three ways to reignite curiosity in your faith today.
- 612The Holiday for Being HumanIn His incarnation, Jesus not only identified with our humanity but also revealed the true essence of what it means to be human.

- 614'Tis the Season to Keep WaitingYour waiting is one of the most holiest things you can experience. When we don't wait well, we lose sight of what the actual promise is. Jesus is the greatest gift, and the one who gives the promise is much better than seeing the promise fulfilled. At this month's ALLIN, Pastor Ryan Schlachter speaks on the life of Simeon and the beauty behind wiating.
- 615Family MattersGenealogies in the Bible are often skipped over, but they are divinely inspired and intentional.

- 616Marking AdventIn the liturgical calendar, the Advent season kicks off the year as we wait for the arrival of our savior in the form of a baby.

How do we make the most of our time and create markers of holy moments while we wait? In this week's Leadership Lesson, Creative Director Carter Gekiere shares three ways you can make the most out of this Advent season.
- 617What's Flesh Got To Do With It?Jesus coming to earth isn't just a theological concept—it's a transformative reality that shapes our daily lives. What sets Christianity apart is the truth that, in Jesus putting on flesh and becoming like us, He offers more than a solution for sin; He becomes a Savior who fully empathizes with our human experience. In this week's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter invites us to see Jesus not as a distant deity but as our perfect mediator, who understands our struggles and continually intercedes for us.
- 618Why the Wait?There is something quite divine about waiting. God is the author of time and omnipresent, yet he chooses to wait and to be patient alongside us while the promise is on the way.

Our posture towards life reflects our faith, shaped by what we've lived and remembered. Faith isn't just about what we know; it's something we feel and experience in our whole being. Even when painful memories linger, our loving Father offers a greater story.
