This Sunday in our study of Jonah 3 we will discover answers for some of life’s difficult questions: Does God give people a second chance? Does God give people who fail a second chance? Is second chance, second class? We are learning so much about...

Sunday we continue our story of Jonah. So far, all we’ve seen is the downward path of Jonah…down to Joppa, down to the ship, down below deck, down to sleep, down into the sea, and down into the belly of a big fish. Sounds like life sometimes doesn’t...

When you think about an unstoppable team your mind might drift to the world of sports and you might think of…The Cubs…or in college football, Alabama, or in the NFL, the New England Patriots, or in this year’s Olympic games, the United States’ women’s...

Imagine if Jesus offered to come hang out with you for a week- go to work with you, stay at your house, play some ball with you, hang out with your family. That would be amazing. But actually, Jesus thinks there’s something more advantageous...

BASICS: What is the Church? This week we will look at our identity as elect exiles with a living hope.

No matter how powerful a person may be, he must answer to God. Jesus shows us what life is really about. Join us this Sunday as we study the book of Daniel, chapters 4 and 5.

We live in a changing culture. Christianity is continually pushed to the fringes and Gospel truth is viewed as irrelevant and judgmental. Unless you are willing to compromise on biblical truth, you are rejected by changing culture. How should you...

This book is about far more than a faithful prophet; it is about a God so great that it prompts courageous and faithful dependence on Him. This week, in the second chapter of Daniel, we will see how Daniel stands firm in his faith even in difficult...

This week, as we continue to tackle the 7 deadly sins by the power of the Gospel, we will look at the Scripture to see the dangers of anger.

Part of being alive demands that we kill sin that keeps God from having first place in our lives.

This week we begin to tackle the 7 deadly sins by the power of the Gospel.

As we celebrate Easter this weekend, we will be looking at I Corinthians 15:1-20—an amazing, straight forward passage about how the resurrection of Jesus confirms the truths of the gospel that we cling to.

The story of Easter centering on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is the diamond of Christianity.

One of the most famous, but incomprehensible prophecies in the Book of Isaiah is the prediction of a crucified Messiah.

This week, we wrap up our series on God’s Design by taking a look at God’s plan for us to live in community, and a look into what God has to say about singleness.

This week in our God’s Design series, we explore God’s Design for marriage.

Looking at parenting and the biblical principles that should inform our family life.

The message of the gospel is that you are loved far more than you could ever dream, or even grasp intellectually. God’s love for you is immeasurable—wider, longer, deeper, and higher than any love you have ever experienced.

This Sunday in God’s Design series we are going to examine what the Bible says about gender differences.
