Running Again
We tend to worship God on Sundays, but spend the rest of our week running from one obligation to the next, hobbling back in the next week exhausted and in desperate need of refreshment. God didn't intend for our faith to be this way. The story of Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Ba'al on Mt. Carmel illustrates the real danger: when aspects of our lives become idols, they drain away our life, distract us from God and hurt those around us. We must learn to let God order our lives so that we can find the life God promises!
From Series: "Ordinary Phenomenon"
How many times have you heard about one of those spectacular events in the Old Testament and thought, "It must be nice!" If only I had seen the Red Sea part, or Elijah's showdown on Mt. Carmel. Then it'd be so easy to trust God! But apparently that's not true. We see again and again that the big events aren't what transform us into God's people. Rather, we find God in the ordinary phenomena we see every day. Join us in January as we explore these Big Events to find what God was calling his people to then - and now: an ordinary, every day relationship that's nothing short of phenomenal.

Who is God?
The answers to this most basic human question can be found in the Scriptures. Over and over, God comes to humanity, interacts with us in ways we can understand, and we learn more of who God is. Often in these interactions, the people who met God would give God a name – a way to describe how God had worked in their lives.
