During this fall session, we will be hearing from various members of our Sunday or Tuesday morning classes about our study in Colossians. I hope our reflections on what we’ve learned about the character of God will be of value to all, whether you are taking the class or not. Our study of the book …
God Restores What Was Lost
By Mary Wenzl I have been on a journey for several years now, one of “Restoration.” I believe most people have rough periods in their lives where things don’t go as they had hoped. My rough spots involved being married to an alcoholic husband, getting divorced, and then raising two children as a single parent. …
The Greatest of These is Love
Happily Ever After. No matter how skeptical you might be, there’s still something about those three words that draws us in. Why? Because at the end of the fairy tale when the narrator tells us the couple lives happily ever after, we know what the words really mean is they loved happily ever after. And …
He Has Plans
By Jessi Huenink I have plans. So many plans. Some big, some small. I’ve always been a planner with long to-do lists and a plethora of goals. When I found out I was pregnant in March of 2017, we began to make new plans for the rest of our year. We joked about how tight …
Choosing Hope
By Renee Meyer Many of my favorite promises are rooted in a particular struggle or season of life: I remember exactly when I found them and why they were meaningful in that moment. But I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love Lamentations 3:22-23. I’m sure there had to be a time I …

The Promise of Spring
It’s always a toss-up here in Nebraska when Spring Break falls in early March as to whether our kids will be playing in the snow or enjoying true spring weather. Luckily for us, the latter was the case this year. Whether you traveled for Spring Break or stayed home, I hope all of you had …
A Sure and Steadfast Hope
By Stacey Kuszak I talked with several women last week at the brunch and asked them how their Christmas was. The overwhelming response was "Iʼm glad itʼs over." Carey alluded to this last week, but we arrive in the New Year exhausted, donʼt we? What is it about the end of December that leaves us …
Hope: A Confident Expectation
Tuesday Morning we were blessed to have Carey Helmink and the worship team lead us during our opening. If you missed this week, feel free to click HERE and sing along to one of the songs they shared. Then, take a moment to read the message Carey had for us on hope. I can't think of …
The God Who Saves
John gives us an inside look at an amazing moment that was reserved for Jesus’ closest friends. He came, He spoke peace -- not just with words but with the power of His Spirit -- and He gave a promise of forgiveness. On the evening of the first day of the week, when the disciples …
