This week, we look at two events - happening side-by-side - a trial and a story of denial.  While we know our lives must be grounded in hope and joy, we also know we are human.  God meets us there.

Part of the celebration of Easter is actually allowing ourselves to enter quieter, more reflective places. What might we hear from God there?

Every person is a treasure, and totally worthy of love. Remembering that when they just cut in and stole the parking space you wanted? That can get tricky. We'll look at three simple, practical, yet profound techniques for seeing everyone through God's eyes.

Social media often forces us to chase a beauty that is at best elusive. How do we find a way to be centered on a view of ourselves grounded in God’s love?

When someone we love takes their life it fills us with heartbreak and tenderness. Join us as we gently hold this topic together.

**Due to the sensitive nature of the topic for this week, we want to communicate ahead of time about this week’s service, “Stay”, where we will discuss the tender subject of suicide.  We encourage you to make the best decision for you and your family if this is a service that may not be suitable for you at this time.**

Join us this Sunday as we look at the universal experience of grieving. Grief is something many of us have experienced. As Anne Lamott puts it, "They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up...It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly - that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp." Come hear how others have learned to dance through life celebrating the loved ones they have lost.

Join us for a message on shifting our frame of reference. One that can feel radical at times, but ultimately transformative and life-giving.

We can confuse “clarity” with “purity.” God does not offer a “pure” world. What He offers us is a good world.

It is relatively easy to love those within our own self-defined tribe. They are the ones “like us” as opposed to others who are not. This kind of mistaken essentialism falters communities and our ability to join together in serving the common good. There are answers, in different ways God calls us to live.

Forgiveness is one of the more challenging hurdles we face in life. How do we forgive, authentically and lovingly as God would ask us to, even in situations where the hurt and harm is absolutely real?
