Transitions: When God Allows Tragedy|Matthew 13:51-14:12 Oct 27, 2024

Horizon was founded with a motto: Yours to Explore. The idea was to create a place where people could comfortably investigate faith and God.

Jesus' Obstacle Is The Way Oct 13, 2024

Few people go through life without difficulty. Tough times often define the way we see the world. For some, a rough patch beats them down; they’re left battered and hopeless.

The Greeks believed challenges were vital for growth, but best faced alone, and built the philosophy of stoicism around this view. The early Christians had a different belief, known as the Way, which encourages us to lean on God when times are tough.
