In the world, we live in today, “rest” seems like a foreign word to many of us.

But the good news is, God designed rest and it's only in pursuing his presence that true rest can be found.

Dust off those dreams and reawaken your heart to all that lies within you. You CAN turn it around and pursue a life of purpose, integrity, adventure and excellence!

It’s the unhurried Way of Jesus.

The gospel is the power of God for salvation. It is not just a door into eternal life but the path we live our everyday life. The gospel changes how we think, speak, act and decide.

Manhattan pastor Jon Tyson says, “All great revivals have taken place in times of decline. Resurrection is found among the dead.

This Soul Care series will explore how to take care of your soul ... the most important part of you.

The Bible doesn't shy away from the reality of masculine instincts nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction.
