Globally, nationally, and in our own homes it feels like we are experiencing more and more conflict. As Jesus-followers, how do we balance grace and truth in our everyday lives? How do we respond when we've been wounded by another? In this sermon we explore how to respond to conflict and pay attention to what God wants to teach us in the pain of disagreement.
Identify a broken relationship in your world (think of someone you'd probably avoid) and think about how might you bless them, even if you stay disconnected? Consider what part of this relationship is your responsibility (as Paul says, "as far as it is up to you," so it's not all up to you).

The common-denominator in all of our relationships is us. We bring our “stuff” – impatience, pride, fear, selfishness and more. We want to change, but how do we change? And how does God help us? In this talk, we explore what the Bible says about change and how God helps us not stay stuck in our stuff.
This week pursue community with people who desire change and are pursuing Jesus. Need some direction? At Menlo you can join a Life Groups or ask to have one of our trained Stephen Ministers walk beside you in a time of pain.

You can be attractive, successful, wealthy, and smart, but if you have unhealthy, broken relationships in your life, life will feel more like a drain and a mess. But what exactly do healthy relationships look like? Contrary to what many people think, they are not defined by a lack of conflict. Rather, they are defined by the ability to manage, address, and resolve conflict. In this talk, we explore how to manage, address, and resolve conflict so that you can live a life of happiness and joy.
This week, be intentional about conflict and choose to have "a good fight" in a relationship that you would like to have deeper connection and greater intimacy.

Life is full of unexpected circumstances and events. Job loss, breakups, betrayals, and pandemics. These twists and turns of life are not what we ask for or expect. How we respond to these moments is the key to a flourishing and healthy life. We can respond by getting bitter and cynical or we can respond by releasing our expectations, and embracing how God wants to form us in the unexpected moments.
Let 2021 be the year you release your expectations and expect the unexpected, believing that God wants to use these twists and turns of life to make you stronger and more resilient.

Do you ever think life wasn’t supposed to be this way? What’s left when disappointment hits our dreams? Whether a relationship, a job, a living situation, or our faith in the goodness of God, life can feel like it's gone off course. In this talk, Rev. Crosby explores one of his favorite Bible Stories, a story filled with “it wasn’t supposed to be this way” people. Watch this for a different view of whether you’re living the life that was planned or you're embarking on a new direction, a “Plan B Life”.

We often confuse happiness with joy. Happiness is situational, and dependent on outside circumstances. Joy, on the other hand, is a deep and pervasive sense of well-being and care, regardless of the circumstances. In this sermon, we explore where joy comes from and how we can have joy in any season because God is with me.
Practice being present with God, realizing that this moment is a gift, that God is near, and his goodness and love follow you.

This week we delve into the feeling of being lost. In a year that feels like "The Year of the Lost" for so many of us, we will use the story of how the Good Shepherd left the 99 to go find the one lost sheep. Through this story, we will explore how the Christmas story is the announcement of God's Rescue Operation to bring home all his lost sheep.
Please join us for our online services for Christmas this year! And even though we will be watching digitally, you can invite your friends and family to join you.

Do you ever wonder what’s at the core of being a Christian Are Christians people who believe? Are Christians the people who behave a certain way? Spoiler alert: the answer to both of those questions is no. In this message, we explore what really makes a Christian.
This week, think of someone you know who needs to experience the grace that God has shown you.
