    Too Smart For Your Own Good || From The Archives

    As we continue this “Reality Check” series diving into the archives. Venture into the depths of Ecclesiastes as we navigate Solomon's quest for life's true meaning, beginning from chapter 1, verse 12. In this episode, "Too Smart for Your Own Good," we delve into the introspective reflections of Solomon, a king endowed with unparalleled wisdom, who grapples with the profound realization of life's inherent futility.

    Solomon's piercing insights reveal the stark reality that human endeavors, no matter how grand, may ultimately be meaningless—mere chases after the wind. His contemplations on the human condition and the limitations of wisdom serve as a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of existential despair.

    Engage with us as we dissect the delicate interplay between despair and hope, and examine how Solomon's profound reflections juxtapose with the enduring optimism of divine perspective. This episode promises to challenge your philosophical understanding and inspire deeper contemplation of one of the Bible's most existential texts.

This episode is a call to action for everyone, encouraging the unleashing of creativity not just in the arts but as a vital tool for impactful change in every aspect of life.

    Three Body Problem

    Three Body Problem

    This past Sunday Pastor Erwin McManus spoke on the importance of living connected not only to God, but to the gift of the Church.



    Sharing from the book of Corinthians, he gave us three essential truths from the scriptures to inform the way we relate to God and others:



    1. We are a unique part of the whole.

    2. We are not whole when we are apart.

    3. We are strongest when we all do our part.



    When we out our uniqueness within the community God has given us, we become the strongest version of ourselves.



    Are you ready to discover the importance of living a connected life?

    Level Up

    This weekend, Pastor Erwin McManus brought new insights that challenged us to step into a new level of connection to God.



    Speaking from the book of Galatians, he shared that there are 3 levels of connection to God:

    1: The universal good 

    2: The adopted child

    3: The heir apparent



    We experience the universal good as we live our lives enjoying the blessings that God gives to all of humanity whether we believe in him or not. The adopted child has a relationship with God and experiences his grace, but the heir apparent has stepped into the maturity needed to inherit the life that God is longing to give them.



    Are you ready to take your relationship with God to the next level?
