We are living through an intense time of political division. Politics and religion are often combined in unhelpful ways, but Jesus didn’t come to win a game of tug-of-war between kingdoms of this world. He came to establish a completely different kind of kingdom with a completely different set of values. In this series we explore the upside-down kingdom and seek to love unconditionally even when we disagree politically.

When we stop to think about it, not a day goes by that we’re not tempted to glance at the people around us to see how we measure up. It’s frustrating and exhausting. That’s because it’s a trap. In this 4-week series, we explore the difficult—but not impossible—challenge of escaping the Comparison Trap.

Spring is a season full of changes and transitions which mirror the changes and transitions that we experience throughout our lives: graduations, a new job, divorce, a new home, a new school, a new relationship, the death of someone we love. In this series we’ll look at the rhythm and anatomy of transitions, seeking God’s wisdom on how to navigate these changes with understanding and purpose.
