EXCITING NEWS!! This past Sunday, we shared the exciting news that in the coming months, Sunrise and Northside will merge into one larger church family! To echo what Henry said, we’re very proud and grateful to be part of a group that’s willing to take a big step of faith and make unity a priority. We can’t wait for our next steps, for the new things we’ll do together, and for the story of reconciliation that we’ll live out in our community. We also look forward to building new friendships while continuing to enjoy the existing ones that are so important to us.

As we shared, big steps of faith are followed by tremendous blessing. Many stories of church mergers have borne this out through the significant growth they have produced. God has led us to trust that we will accomplish much more together than separate, as we rely on Him and as we combine our many strengths and resources.

As we also mentioned, we know we’re doing something we’ve never done before. We believe that many things will go well, and we also understand that we will “swing and miss” in some ways. If that happens, we’ll get back up, learn from it, and try again. We love all of you so much, and we’re asking you to stick with us, pray for us, and help us. We’re excited for what lies ahead, and to see where God takes us!

I Don’t Want to Be Angry Anymore

By: Troy Burns

Series: Standalone

Anger is a normal response to being hurt. But expressing anger, depending on how we talk or act, can be an unhealthy or sinful way of dealing with it. To address our anger, we need to slow down in our lives, and we need to find a way to forgive (or release) the people who hurt us.

Do You Want to (or Have to) Change?

By: Troy Burns
Series: Standalone
The answer to changing our lives, and growing spiritually, is simple, but not easy. If we follow Jesus, we usually know how to grow, which is why it's simple, but we struggle to put it into practice, consistently, over a long period of time, which is why it's not easy. But if we'll replace the wrong things with the right things, God will produce His fruit in us, and we'll experience steady, progressive growth.

To Pray or Not to Pray…

By: Troy Burns
Series: Standalone
Troy confesses how hard it can be to know what to pray for, or even how to pray, especially if our prayers seem to go unanswered. But God helps us in our weakness, and He carries our burdens. And He gives us the strength to endure our struggles, so that we can point people to God and help them through the same struggles we’ve faced.

By: Rick Pickel

In a message based on Psalms 84 and 96, Rick talks about the hunger that God has placed in every person's heart, a hunger that can only be filled by Him. That's why we sing, like the worship song says it, "Better is one day in Your courts, Better is one day in Your house... Than thousands elsewhere."

It’s God’s Fight, Not Yours

By: Troy Burns
Series: That's What God Can Do
Returning to our series, That's What God Can Do, Troy points out how we often try to fight battles in our own strength, or we try to control situations. But what we need to say is, “I’m not going to do that. I’m simply going to let God do the fighting for me.”
