Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

James has been full of practical advice for living in troubled times. He’s called us to be faithful and make sure our faith shows itself in works. He’s called us to watch our tongues and how we spend our money. As he gets ready to close his letter, James calls us to one more practical activity: Praying. James reminds us of the power and effectiveness of prayer. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show…
In times and seasons where we fall victim to pain and suffering, we are prone to certain behaviors. We try and take the situation under our control and alleviate our pain and suffering as quickly as possible. However, James' best advice for us in the face of pain and suffering is to be patient and persevere so that we might learn to depend on God even more. - Pastor Arek O'Connell Support the show…
James has used strong language throughout his letter, but now he turns the heat up even higher. He has saved his strongest warnings and announcements for this place in his letter—where he has extremely strong words for rich people who are not using their wealth the way God intended them to. These words are deeply challenging but also deeply important for us to think about. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show…
One of the things that is way too easy for us to do is to live our lives without really thinking about God too much. We know He’s there, but we don’t include Him in our planning and thinking—He’s sort of a “God on the Shelf.” We may call out to Him if things fall apart, but until then, we’ll live our lives on our own terms. This morning James will remind us of how foolish this is. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show…
From the very beginning, Christians have gotten into fights and disagreements with each other. Why is that? Shouldn’t we be able to get along with each other and love each other? This morning James will help us understand why there are fights and quarrels among us. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show
We live in a world where we are surrounded by thousands of voices, many of them ready to give us advice on how to live. There are podcasts and news stations, Facebook posts, blogs and web pages. There are books we can read or listen to. But what’s worth our time? How do we know if the person we are listening to is wise—is worth listening to? This morning James will help us answer that question. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show…
As we come to the end of another year, it’s natural to reflect on the year overall in order to make preparations for the year we’re about to enter. No matter what accomplishments, successes, failures, or disappointments we faced in the last year, the Apostle Paul wants to encourage us to head into next year, or any day for that matter, with the goal of pressing on towards Christ until we meet in heaven. - Pastor Arek O'Connell Support the show…
We’re really close to celebrating the birth of Jesus—and that’s exciting. God came to be with us! Jesus came to save us! But how will He do that? How will Jesus save those who would follow Him? This morning we’ll look at the plan that God gave to Isaiah 700 years before Jesus was born and we’ll see the plan for how Jesus will save the world. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show…
Full Christmas Program audio recording - One of the words that describe many of our lives at this time of the year is the word “busy.” We are running here and there with things to do, people to see, and presents to buy. In the midst of all our running, Isaiah the prophet has a word for us: “Listen!” It’s an important word but the question is whether we can find time in our busyness to slow down and listen.

Last week we saw the need for Jesus—we are sinners who deserve death. We also saw that God promised to send someone to save us. This morning we’re going to learn more about that One whom God promised to send—His Servant. And we’ll see that this Servant is going to do some amazing things. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show…
This Sunday is the first Sunday of the Advent season. A season where the church collectively anticipates the arrival, or ‘advent,’ of our savior Jesus Christ. Just as he came in the flesh as a baby 2000 years ago to save his people, one day Christ will return again to save his people. What is it that we need saving from though? The book of Genesis shows us that what we need Jesus for and saving from the most is ourselves. We need Jesus to show us how to Love God and each other. - Pastor Arek O'Connell Support the show…
