Is Anyone There? | Week 1 | Pastor David Payne

The beginning of the new year is a time when we resolve to step out of our comfort zones. Whether it’s a decision to lose weight, build healthier habits, or finally finish the basement, we enter into a transformative period for ourselves and/or our environments. However, we often become discouraged and fall back into comfort afraid of what it takes to experience true transformation. We can do this in our spiritual lives just as, if not more often than we realize. What can we do when we feel our dedication waning?

In His Hands | Church at Home 2023

Most of us know or remember the song that says “He’s got the whole world in His hands.” How many of us can say we understand its history or what the song actually means? Is it just a cute song you sang as a child or is proclaiming something beautiful and deeper than you’ve ever stopped to realize?

Christmas at Lifesong 2023

Jesus came to guide, encourage, and strengthen us through the Disorientation, Disappointment, and Distress that life can bring. While we can so often be “wrapped up” in the hectic noise of the season and we pride ourselves in giving the perfect gifts, we forget to accept the incredible gifts we’ve been given by the Lord himself.

The Table | Pastor David Payne

Our nature is to believe we’re the most important person in the room, or at any given table. We’d all love to be. If we’re not careful we can find ourselves devaluing both the table and the host though. That may mess up our human experience sometimes, but how does that look in relation to God? In relation to His invitation to the table?

Rescue Mission | Pastor David Payne

For many of us ‘life is good’! For so many though, it just isn’t. While we enjoy the goodness though, have we become unaware, or worse, unconcerned about ’the others’? What might our own life be like had we not been born where we were, or lived where we did?
