Can these bones live?

That's the question God asks Ezekiel in the middle of a valley full of dry bones - and it's the same question a lot of us are quietly asking about areas of our own lives. That struggle that never seems to go away. That prayer you've almost stopped praying. That thing you've given up hope will ever change.

This week in Ezekiel 37, we looked at one of the most hope-filled passages in all of Scripture - and the Hebrew word Ruach, which means wind, breath, and spirit all at once, and shows up ten times in fourteen verses for a reason.

Whatever feels dry right now - don't assume God is finished with it.

What's one area where you're holding on to hope even when it's hard?

Ezekiel was a priest who had trained his whole life for one thing - and when the moment finally came, he was 400 miles away from everything he needed to do it.
That's exactly where God showed up.

This week we dug into Ezekiel 1 - the wheels within wheels vision that people have been trying to explain for centuries. Spoiler: it's not UFOs. But what it is communicating about God is more stunning than anything from outer space.
He goes everywhere. He sees everything. He reigns over all of it. And his throne? It found a new home you might not expect.

Have you ever felt 400 miles from where you thought God would meet you?

Living by the Golden Rule isn’t easy because Jesus tells us to treat others the way WE want to be treated, not the way THEY treat us.

Honestly, I think it’s hardest with the people we know best. The longer we’ve known someone, the easier it is to keep score. “You don’t appreciate or respect me? Then I won’t appreciate or respect you.”

Sometimes it’s subtle. No one else may even notice, but we do. We stop going out of our way. We stop encouraging them. We become a little more distant. We think, “They can make the first move this time.” It all feels justified because we’re simply treating them the way they’ve treated us.

I’ll be honest… I still struggle with this. Something inside of me wants to resist. It wants to protect itself. It wants to respond in kind. But I know that’s my flesh, not the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit keeps leading me back to Jesus. He didn’t wait for me to deserve His love. He loved me while I was still a sinner. That’s the pattern He calls me to follow. Grace moves first.

I’m still learning to let that grace shape the way I treat others.

This one was hard to preach. It'll probably be hard to watch too.
In this week's message from Ephesians 5, we took an honest look at what the Bible actually says about sexuality - not the shame-based version a lot of us grew up with, and not the "no limits" version the culture around us is selling either.
What does God's design actually look like? Why did he set things up this way? And what do you do with all the questions that raises?
No shouting, no judgment - just an honest attempt to follow the passage wherever it goes. If this message stirs something up for you, know that we'd love to talk.

AI is everywhere - in your job, your phone, your church, and maybe even your sermon prep. But what does wisdom actually look like when it comes to artificial intelligence? In this episode, Shawn Campbell takes the host's chair as he sits down with Scott and Brandon for an honest, wide-ranging conversation on all things AI. They cover how each of them uses it day to day, whether it can genuinely make art, how it's being weaponized in cybersecurity, what should never be outsourced to AI in ministry, and the deeper question underneath it all - is humanity slowly trying to replace its dependence on God? No hype, no doom and gloom, just three guys trying to think clearly about something that's moving faster than anyone can keep up with.

The throne was never empty.

That's what Isaiah discovers when the curtain gets pulled back in Isaiah 6. King Uzziah had been on the throne for 52 years - longer than most people had been alive. And when he died, the nation was rattled. What God gives Isaiah isn't an explanation. It's a vision.

And what happens next follows a pattern God repeats in every person he gets hold of: he exposes you, he cleanses you, and then he sends you.
This week we kicked off a brand new series on apocalyptic literature across the whole Bible. Not conspiracies, not date-guessing - just pulling back the curtain on what God is actually doing.

Has God ever shaken your world in a way that ended up leading somewhere good? We'd love to hear about it below - full message is linked in the comments.
