Our spiritual journey includes ups and downs, highs and lows, mountaintops and valleys. It’d be nice if we could skip the struggle and suffering and live in perfect blessing, but life often has more complexities than we realize. We can see the bigger picture by placing our hope in Jesus Christ and learning to walk with God through hardships. The truth is: there are parts of our spiritual maturity that are only developed in the midst of pain. Listen in as we continue our series on ‘Spiritual Puberty.’

When life gets hard, a gap grows between your present reality and your hopes and dreams. Sometimes your past looks better than your future. But God has a message of hope for the discouraged. He is near to the brokenhearted and promises a future more glorious than we can imagine!

As Jeff continues our series titled ‘Joy to the World,’ we once again turn to scripture seeking an answer to one of life’s challenging questions: ‘How do I navigate times of both joy & grief?’ On this side of heaven, we still experience trials, challenges, and pain but thankfully the Bible is not silent on how to follow God in the midst of this tension. In this message, Jeff shares from the teachings of Jesus and his own personal life how to walk with God in the midst of joy & grief.

As we continue our series “Promises,” Jeff unpacks Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus. In this passage, we’re promised to grow in three areas of our spiritual lives: the knowledge of God, our confident hope in Christ, and the understanding of God’s power for us who believe. Listen in as Jeff explores a practical way to grow in spiritual maturity as well.
