We spend so much of our time chasing after careers, people, or possessions that never fully satisfy us in the end. Our society encourages us to accumulate. To chase after more possessions, more wealth, more distractions, and more success. We find ourselves lost in a sea of excess, disconnected from the true source of joy and contentment.

When is enough, enough? Join us as we explore a counter-cultural truth: True abundance and contentment comes not from having more, but from embracing less. Through this series, we will explore how we can experience more happiness, more freedom, more presence, more health, and more faith by choosing the path of intentional simplicity.

Jonah is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Yet, it is easy to miss the depth and beauty of this short, prophetic book.

The book of Jonah explores the life and work of a deeply flawed hero, the vast expanse of the grace of God, and God’s powerful commitment that everyone may be saved. This story of God’s work through a problematic prophet has something for each of us. 

Do you ever feel something more is needed in your spiritual life? Something more than you’re currently experiencing? The answer to that need might actually not be something, but Someone.

Perhaps the most neglected teaching in the mainstream Church today is the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Francis Chan once said, “If I were Satan and my ultimate goal was to thwart God’s kingdom and purposes, one of my main strategies would be to get churchgoers to ignore the Holy Spirit.” There is so much more to the Christian life than we’ve been led to believe.

Our view of Jesus is often too small. Some people outside the church reduce Jesus to a zealot or a moral teacher, while some Christians view him only as a necessary sacrifice or a nice moral example. All of these views fall short of seeing Jesus for who He really is—the Son of the Most High God, the Risen Christ and the Lord of All.

Enter the book of Hebrews. Through this powerful New Testament book, we gain the proper view of the Risen Jesus. His importance is clear. His primacy is unquestionable. Most of all, we discover Jesus is Greater than anything.

Two simple words: Follow Me. Jesus spoke these words in several settings to invite real people to exchange their plans for His plans. These words spoken to 12 men 2,000 years ago changed the world.

Today, we are given the same invitation: “Follow Me.” It’s an invitation to real life. The life God created you to live. This “exchange” is often costly and difficult, but the reward of following Christ is being close to Jesus Himself. No matter who you are or what you have previously believed, Jesus invites you to follow Him.
