The Rest of the Story: Abraham and Isaac | Scott Palmbush

In Genesis, we examine the story of Abraham, the one chosen by God to be the Father of His people. While Abraham is praised as a champion of faithfulness and trust in God, he faced struggles of his own. When God asked him to sacrifice the thing he cherished the most—his beloved son—Abraham confronted this challenging decision, grounded in his experience of God's faithfulness. Ultimately, he chose to place his trust in God above all else. In this sermon, we contemplate this significant event in Abraham's life and how it serves as a reminder for all of us to wholeheartedly devote ourselves to a faithful God.

The Rest of the Story: Jonah | Phil EuBank

Whether you love the life you are currently living or hope for something different in the days ahead, we all face unexpected challenges and encounter unreliable people. Jonah lived his "professional" career with certain core assumptions about God that He wanted to address. The thoughts and assumptions we have about God from the stories in the Bible can be overwhelming, but in this particular story, we wonder, "How could God use someone like Jonah?"

The Rest of the Story: The Tower of Babel | Phil EuBank

Human accomplishment has always been a significant focus in history. Today, particularly in our region, we are driven by the opportunity to increase our capacity at a pace where implications are not always clear. The Tower of Babel serves as a prime example of how far back this inclination dates and the unchecked motivations that can accompany it.

The Rest of the Story: Noah and the Flood | Adam Hendrix

Every story points to something. For many children, the flood story points to a fun and exciting adventure involving animals, a boat, and a big rainbow... what's not to love?! However, upon closer examination, the story is not that simple and is definitely not a children's story. As we look deeper into this story, we want to wrestle with three questions: "Is this a true story?" "What does this story tell us about God?" And "What does this story tell us about humanity?"

With closer examination, we discover a story about a God who longs to redeem and restore His creation and invites us into this same story of redemption. Just like the flood story, our own stories and lives are pointing to something deeper. Every story points to something. What is that something in your story?

The Rest of the Story: Creation | Phil EuBank

Formation Stagnation | Mountain View Campus | Matt Summers

When we feel stuck, we often try to fix it with change. We try things like a new schedule, new job, or new major in school, but what about our faith? Together, we can learn to find the growth we were always meant to experience as we explore a common reason we get stuck and a common way out.
