In days past, leisure time was considered a sign of success. But now, he world kind of thrives on how busy it is. The busy we are, the more important we must be. And let's not talk about the "unseen" busy-ness that fills our minds! And in the middle of all THAT, we try to have a relationship with God (and that doesn't really work, does it?) This week, we'll learn a different way. A better way.

Wouldn't it be amazing to be closer to God? Wouldn't our lives be filled with so much joy if we were walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Jesus everyday? How different would your life look if you could get to that point? So, what's standing in the way? What keeps us from living life like that? This Sunday, we'll answer that question.

Easter dresses and pretty shoes, suits and ties - they are all in the rearview mirror until next year. But Easter reminds us that we all have NEW LIFE through Jesus. And the life that Jesus wants for each of us starts with a healthy heart. In order to get that healthy heart, we have to be willing to do one important thing. What's that, you ask? Join us Sunday to find out as we launch a brand new series: Habits of A Healthy Heart.

If we were to be COMPLETELY honest with ourselves, we all could find one of those "deep, dark secrets" that we wouldn't want anyone to discover. Sometimes, those little secrets keep us living in fear of being found out; of being accused; and of the pain that could cause. But this week, we'll learn that our accusers hold no power over us. Join us as we celebrate the Risen Jesus!

Sometimes we get so used to huddling up with our "tribe" that we fail to see the people in the world around us. Maybe that's ok - unless those people need to see Jesus. What then? Are we still supposed to keep the blinders on and go about our business? One question from Jesus can point us in the right direction, and we'll find out what it is this week. Join us!

Have you ever wanted something so bad only to be disappointed by the ending? Or worse, totally blindsided by how it ended up? Sometimes we chase the wrong things, and sometimes we just get the wrong ending. We deal with it. It happens. This week's question looks at a scene in Jesus' life where His plan was perfected, and still he experienced something none of us would want. Join us on Sunday!
