Lord’s Prayer: “Lead Us Not Into Temptation—What Can I Do?
Temptation will always bombard us. But that doesn’t mean we need to fall for it. This week, Pastor Dan walks us through the Lord’s Prayer and helps us see how we can continue to grow in our relationship with God.

How to Deal With Shame
Shame is the unshakable feeling that we don’t belong, tempting us to run away from God and his people. Shame can be tied to something done to us, something we have done, or something we have continued to do. As hard as it is to open up about shame, it’s even harder to address in the church. Pastor Mike dares us to cross that line and show what can happen when a Christian community learns to deal with shame.
