The Problem You Want Fixed (November 26, 2023)

We all arrive at Advent carrying something broken—a diagnosis, a fraying relationship, a season that feels anything but joyful—and our instinct is right: we want God to fix it. In John 6, the crowd feels exactly that after watching Jesus feed five thousand people, so they move to do something about it. The question the passage presses on us is whether we actually understand what problem he came to fix.

Sometimes the starting point in desperation is to realize just how desperate we really are.

Yellow Jackets or Carpenter Bees? (September 24, 2023)

Where Is Jesus? (April 9, 2023)

On Easter, we celebrate God’s great reversal, yet many of us still carry wildernesses where things feel anything but right. Mary Magdalene was in such a wilderness in John 20 as she wept outside of the tomb. In the wilderness, we often cannot see when Jesus is right in front of us.

Security Blankets and Golden Calves (March 19, 2023)

When fear and uncertainty close in, we don’t just want comfort—we want control, something solid we can hold onto. In Exodus 32, Israel melts down the very gold God gave them in Egypt to cast a god they can see, and the impulse driving that golden calf is closer to our own hearts than we’d like to admit.

First Things First (February 12, 2023)

What causes us to be anxious? What is the solution? Pastor Tim Krenning helps us think about Jesus’s call to trust Him.

Whose Glory are Living: God's or Man's? (February 5, 2023)

Where are we looking for “treasure”? Here on earth or are we looking toward our God?
