Read MoreWhat does it mean to run the race of faith and pass that faith to the next generation? This Baptism Sunday at LEV Church, Pastor Jordan Bousum shared an encouraging message about endurance, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, and the spiritual legacy we leave behind. As we celebrated four child dedications and five baptisms, we witnessed a beautiful reminder that following Jesus is more than a personal journey.

Read MoreWhat happens when the greatest battle you're facing is taking place in your mind? Fear, shame, exhaustion, and uncertainty can leave us feeling overwhelmed, but God offers something greater.

Read MoreFaith was never meant to be something we reach for only when life becomes impossible. Scripture says that the righteous live by faith. Habakkuk shows us what that life looks like when God’s answer doesn’t make sense, when what we fear seems bigger than ever, and even when our own experience tempts us to believe we can handle life ourselves.
