Hardwiring My Desires
by Kyle Wendel, Connections Pastor on September 2nd, 2025
Psalm 37:4 “Take delight in the Lord,   and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Man, when we look at this verse, it can be very enticing. “He will give you the desires of your heart”. What are some desires that you have? When I think of a list of desires, I often come back to the classic question, what would you do or what would you want if you won the lottery? Many of us already have a l...  Read More
Let’s Move Mountains
by Alec Hraba, Youth Pastor on September 1st, 2025
Mark 11:20-26 Let’s move mountains! Prayer is truly an amazing thing.

He has also told us that we can have faith in Him and He will answer our prayers. We simply are to believe in Him and make sure that we are faithf...  Read More

Real Love
by Brandon Robertson, Campus Director (GB) on August 28th, 2025
Romans 12:9-21When reading today's passage, my mind instantly thought of sibling love. I don't know if I can speak for all of us who have siblings, but at least for me, even though they drive me crazy at times, deep down I love them. If you are not aware, I am the youngest of 6 kids, don't worry, you read that correctly.  When it came to issues, we could probably spend a couple of days listing out...  Read More
