Where do you find your identity? It's so easy to believe you are what you do or what you have or even what others think. But God has more for you than the things that attempt to define you on the surface. Get the notes here: http://bit.ly/2xmaWzE Get the self-assessment here: http://bit.ly/2xoP2vv

Our emotions are an important part of life, but they're not supposed to be the driving forces behind who we are. In the first part of "Surface Tension," we'll take a look at why it's important to be aware of your emotions and how to identify where you're at on the journey to emotional health.

This week Pastor Josh unpacks the story of the prodigal son from a fresh perspective. God loves lost things. Listen to learn about “the heart of the father” in the conclusion to the Parables series.

When our lives are broken and barren, it's difficult to see the possibility of any good - or God - in our circumstances. But what if God can take our wilderness seasons and use them to bring us closer to Him and closer to the promise He has for our lives?

Following Jesus comes with a cost. But when you surrender your life to God, He will give you His life in return. There is so much more on the other side of obedience!

Excuses are deadly. So why do we make them so much? And what excuses are we making that are keeping us from truly living out the life God has called us to?

People are all different. It's one of the most beautiful parts of life, but also one so many of us fear when we dig deep down inside our motives and thoughts. How do you love the people around you well, whether or not they believe the same way, look the same or think the same? Who can you be a good neighbor to?

God isn't fair. Not what you expect to hear, right? But what if in all His goodness, He knows exactly what we can handle and weaves our lives together with all that in mind? This message unpacks the "Parable of the Talents" and how God gives gifts and talents according to our ability.

God is like a farmer. His desire is for us to grow into the person He's created us to be, but it takes a lot of learning! He doesn't expect us to be perfect, He just asks that we trust Him with the seeds of truth He plants in our hearts when we choose to listen to His voice.

Jesus makes all things new in our lives. But how much do we actually stop to value what's been done for us? To consider all the mountains moved and the wounds healed so we can have the abundant life He promised?

What do you believe and how does that impact your everyday life? As we wrapped up the Creed Series, we were each challenged to reflect on all we've learned, embrace the questions we still have and move forward inspired to grow closer to Jesus.

We are all part of "the church." The church isn't just a building, events or denominations. You are the church. We are the church. Listen to Part 10 of "Creed: The Church" as Pastor Josh talks about us being the church and the art of "one-anothering."
