Jars of Clay | 2 Corinthians | Part 1 | What Doesn’t Kill You…Still Hurts A Lot | Chris Voigt

I've had the privilege of traveling by air quite a bit in my life. Along the way, I've experienced the variety of accommodations that various airlines provide. Domestically, flying with Delta is always my preference. And flying Comfort+ (or better) is definitely worth the extra expense. But airlines in other countries don't always offer the same upgrade options that US airlines provide.I recall a particularly UNcomfortable flight from Buenos Aires to San Juan, Argentina. The plane was significantly smaller, in what felt like every way possible. To make matters even less comfy... we were seated just behind the exit row - which had been pushed backward to allow more room for emergency exiting. But no adjustment was made to the row - our row - behind... we were just jipped on legroom! Why?? Why not adjust the subsequent rows? Why did I land in THIS seat?  Why me?Obviously, I lived to tell the tale. We made the flight safely - no emergency exiting required. Our trip was successful. All went well... better than expected, actually. But the process of getting there still hurt.
Life is a lot like that trip. No matter how well prepared or well-planned you are, unanticipated inconveniences, struggles, problems, or even tragedies, bring pain and suffering into our lives. We'd much prefer to sit in Comfort+ all the way to our intended destination, but that's not usually how it works. And there's a reason.I invite you to join us as we begin a new series this Sunday on the book of 2 Corinthians. We've titled it, Jars of Clay - His Strength :: Our Weakness. As we open up this letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, we'll find some answers to the question of "why does God allow suffering?".Our service is at 11 AM on Sunday. You'll find us on Facebook, YouTube, or by clicking the Join Us Sunday button on our website. Or better yet, come join us in person!If 11 AM doesn’t work for you, the service will be available on-demand, so that you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule.

Running on Empty | Part 4 | Fill ‘Er Up | Chris Voigt

Are you a go-until-your-gas-light-comes-on kind of driver or do you head for your favorite gas station when you're at about a quarter of a tank? Or maybe you're like me, and prefer to fill up when you hit the half-tank mark. Whatever your habit for filling your tank, imagine what it would be like if you pulled up to the pump and only put in .08¢ worth of gas. Ridiculous, right? It certainly wouldn't be enough to get you much farther! And if your tank is on 'E' you might not even make it to the next gas station!Research tells us that the average adult attention span these days is a mere 8 seconds. That's about how long most people are able to focus without getting distracted. So it's no wonder that we're moving through life running on fumes. We can't sit still and focus long enough to get our tanks filled... distraction is draining us dry!I invite you to join us for the final message in our series, Running on Empty. We'll look at ways we can learn to be still enough in the presence of our Heavenly Father to fill our spiritual tanks and close the gap between the reality of our daily lives and the abundant life Jesus promises us.Our service is at 11 AM on Sunday. You'll find us on Facebook, YouTube, or by clicking the Join Us Sunday button on our website. Or better yet, come join us in person!

Running on Empty | Part 3 | Just Do It | Chris Voigt

Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. Yet even he wasn’t immune from the effects of burnout. As he reached the desert, he was literally running on empty. Physically, emotionally and spiritually spent. Done.
If you’ve ever felt like Elijah, you understand the overwhelming, hopeless feeling that comes when you’re ready to give up.
Join us this weekend for the third message in our series, Running on Empty, as we look at ways to close the gap between our lives and the abundant life Jesus promises us. You’ll always find us on Facebook, YouTube, or by clicking the ‘Join Us Sunday’ button on our website. Or, you can join us in person. But we’ll be glad to see you however you choose to connect.

Running on Empty | Part 2 | There’s a Hole In Your Bucket | Chris Voigt

Your car might have a leak in the radiator, or maybe the engine is leaking oil, or the power steering fluid is seeping out somewhere. For those things, there are Stop-Leak products that can be helpful - at least for a bit. A leaky tire can be remedied with a can of Fix-a-Flat or FlatOut... it'll at least get you to the nearest Les Schwab. These products, used effectively make is possible for our radiators, engines, and tires to be filled with the right stuff in order to function like they're supposed to. Wouldn't it be great if refilling our souls could be as simple as using the correct product? We all have leaks in our lives... things that drain us. Some we can fix, others we just have to manage. But what if I told you that there are strategies that you could use to help fix the leaks and/or refill your bucket? Join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series, Running On Empty. You can connect with us online via Facebook, YouTube or by clicking the 'Join Us Sunday' button on our website. But better yet, come join us in person. [Spoiler alert: all those smiling faces will help fill your bucket!] Bring your 'bucket' and be refilled. You'll be so glad you did!

Running on Empty | Part 1 | Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep | Chris Voigt

Have you ever noticed how many stories in the Bible are about emptiness and how God fills it?
In every instance of emptiness, when all had been poured out, used up, exhausted, depleted…
God stepped in bringing fullness, light, hope, and joy. And not just a little bit… but abundant,
overflowing, unimaginable fullness and delight.
Are you running on empty these days? At the end of your proverbial rope, like Elijah? More
month than money (or groceries) like the widow of Zarephath? Depleted of resources, low on
energy, losing sleep, or just lost in a dark place? I invite you to join us as we begin a new sermon series this week called, Running On Empty.
 
Come as you are. Empty-handed is just fine. God will meet you, fill and refresh you. We can’t
wait to welcome you.

Stay the Course | Colossians | Part 4 | When Opportunity Knocks | Chris Voigt

We are wrapping up our sermon series, Colossians: Stay the Course, this Sunday.  As Paul brings his letter to a close, he leaves his readers with some very practical instructions for doing life like Jesus. Because this like-Jesus life is about more than knowing, it's about growing and being like Him... being His hands and feet at home, at work, in your neighborhood, when you're running errands. And trying, as much as possible, to see the unexpected 'knock' as an opportunity, not an interruption.

Stay the Course | Colossians | Part 3 | You Are What You Wear | Chris Voigt

To all the parents navigating the back-to-school shopping season, you have my heartfelt sympathies. Been there, done that. So glad to not be there anymore! But the memories of this busy season - the replacing of backpacks and jackets, stocking up on notebooks, pencils, and crayons, buying new water bottles and lunch boxes, and the inevitable purchasing of new clothes and shoes – got me thinking.
In the third chapter of Colossians, the Apostle Paul begins to unpack what living a new life as a follower of Jesus looks like. He uses the analogy of a wardrobe, identifying ‘garments’ the believer should take off and the new clothing they should be wearing. Old clothes, old behaviors, old habits aren’t fit for this new like-Jesus life, much like the old backpacks, broken crayons, worn-out jeans and sneakers aren’t fit for starting a new school year.
It’s out with the old and in with the new. And the fresh apparel that Paul lays out for us to wear… it’s all Designer duds. You’ll be the envy of the class. Ready to get dressed?

Stay the Course | Colossians | Part 2 | Membership Has Its Privileges | Chris Voigt

"Welcome to the club!" Has anyone ever said that to you? Perhaps upon reaching a milestone birthday or becoming a grandparent for the first time? There are clubs of all kinds someone might be part of... maybe you're part of a book club, or a classic car club. Perhaps you're a member at a gym or a golf club. You might belong to a union or just be a Costco or Amazon Prime member. Regardless of the kind of club you're part of, there are benefits to being part of it. Once you're in, those benefits are yours... but it's still up to you to use them!We're in week 2 of a 4-week series on Paul's letter to the Colossians that we've titled, 'Stay the Course.'  This week we'll see more of Paul's heart for the Colossian believers to understand who they are in Christ and all the rights and privileges that come with being part of the church.

Stay the Course | Colossians | Part 1 | Letter From A Stranger | Chris Voigt

Have you ever plugged a specific destination into your GPS, only to deviate from the designated route for a lunch break, to get gas, stretch your legs, or the inevitable bathroom break? What happens? An automated voice, in the accent of your choice, will persistently remind you to 'return to the route.'  I wonder... what would it be like if there was a GPS for life... a voice that reminded us when we got off-track in any of our goals, priorities, or values... to return to the route. That's what the Apostle Paul is doing in his letter to the Colossian church. He is imploring, exhorting these new believers to stay on track! In the midst of a culture that threatened to drag them off-course, Paul reminded them of how to go about reaching their intended destination without getting waylaid or sidetracked. We need the reminder just as much as the Colossians did.

Uncommon Sense | Part 5 | Proverbs About Character | Chris Voigt

Who are you, really? Beneath the job title, your birth order, relationship status, family connections, organizational involvements… at your core, what values shape who you are? And does the person you are in public match the person you are in private? The character of a person matters deeply to God.
