Pastor Brad speaks about how we focus on God’s calling to us even during the “off seasons” of life. Are we sleeping during those times or are we putting in the work?
Jesus tells us He will return and judge the world. What does that really mean? Should we be afraid? As we wrap up “the Future is Here,” Pastor Tim will help us consider these questions.
Pastor Steve thinks about times of silence. The Scriptures remind us that there are times we need to be silent and not let our tongue run wild.
On this Independence Day, Pastor Tim turns to Galatians to think about what true freedom looks like.
Jesus calls us to have a gritty faith. Do we press forward in faithfulness when challenges come or do we instead cower out of fear? Do we trust in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel or do we add our own “Gospel additions”?
As we celebrate the blessings of freedom with the festivities of Independence Day, what is our greatest blessing?
What does waiting for Jesus’s return look like? Are we just trying to “make it through” until the end? This week we turn to Matthew 25:14-30, looking at the “Parable of the Talents” and what it says to us about what God calls us to do with our lives right now.
Pastor Steve thinks about the sort of tailoring that happens in life — the kind we try to do to fix things and the kind that God provides that really does.
What does real courage in the Lord look like? Melanie Haynes takes us to the Book of Joshua to better understand that question.
In the early church there was an overwhelming culture of sacrifice. There was an assumption that the needy should be cared for, and it was our job to do so. It wasn’t the role of politicians or city policies. And they believed that what the Church could do together was more powerful than any one individual, could do. Ananias and Sapphire are an example of loving self above loving God and loving their neighbor. It’s easy to make a commitment to sacrifice, until you start to feel the sacrifice. Then we want to crawl off the altar, but still get the praise.
