We’ve all experienced guilt, shame, and pain. And so we run… but it is wise to always be asking ourselves: what are we running from? What are we running towards?

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

Pastor Allen examines a Biblical framework and understanding of hate along with its antidote.

Haters Gonna Hate

Why is friendship so hard in marriage? How do we get into the 'friend zone'? Pastor Allen takes us through three marriage orientations, along with encouragement for the single, the divorced, and the distressed.

To Have and to Hold (Part 2)

What if what we want out of marriage is right under our nose? Pastor Allen preaches on friendship within the context of marriage.

To Have and to Hold (Part 1)

Marriage has seasons of health and seasons that are hard. But what if the hard seasons are part of producing the healthy ones? Instead of looking for a way out of the hard seasons, maybe it's time to start looking for a way through with our vows in mind. And that's exactly what 'in sickness and in health' means.

In Sickness & In Health

As we begin our new series, Pastor Allen examines two paradigms of thinking for marriage: contract or covenant. Our marriage either falsifies or testifies, as a visceral metaphor of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

'Till Death Do Us Part

Our Fading Glory

This world brings pain, loss, and emptiness - so how do we walk as the redeemed in such a broken place? We must embrace, fully, the truest hope of Jesus - a hope that will not put us to shame, but a hope that will be borne as we surrender our lives to our Heavenly Father through Christ.

The Better Way IV: Do You Hope In Him?

Sometimes we need to revitalize our faith: we know who God is and what he has done for us, but we find ourselves in a season of apathy or sorrow, stuck and unable to shake ourselves loose. God is there with us, and invites us to return to our first love, remember his faithfulness, and receive our truer names, given to us by Him.

The Better Way III: Do You Hear Your Name?

As we look out at the world, it is only natural for us to grieve the injustice rampant everywhere. How do we walk as redeemed people in the midst of an unjust world? How do we walk the line between passive indifference and frenzied vengeance? We look together at Jesus, who has made a way for all of us, in our inadequacies and failures, to be reconciled, forgiven, and freed.

The Better Way: Do You Trust His Ways?

It’s no secret: though there is great joy, love, and peace found in Christ, living out allegiance in this devotion is a challenge in this world. All of us wrestle with choosing God’s way over the world’s way. The question we must all ask ourselves today, in light of what God has done for us, is this: are we on the way that leads to life or death? It’s never too late to put the cross before us and follow God in the better way.

The Better Way: Do You Walk His Path?

Pastor Allen defines grace and details its hallmarks.

Grace Runs Deep

Surrender is not a favored American ideology. But it is a Biblical one. Surrender is the requisite posture to fully realize the promises of God and to fully experience the joy of those promises. However, with surrender comes a lot of fear. Pastor Allen reminds us that fear is the enemy of surrender on our path to raising the white flag of our hearts.

Are You Afraid to Raise the White Flag?

How much do you want to know yourself? How well do you know your desires? To do so is to expose otherwise, seemingly good desires, to the process and motives which may disqualify them. Here's the catch: that's exactly what you're going to have to do to be fully satisfied in this life. So are you ready for the test?
