Luke 11:1-13 If you were asked about areas where you would like to grow in your Christian life, a majority of people would say that growing in prayer would be on that list, and if not at the top, it would be near the top. Prayer is a vital means of grace in our discipleship […]
John 15:1-11 Is being a Christian kind of like yogurt? You know, you can get it with fruit or without fruit. We might have some lively discussions on that topic, each with his own opinion. But, clearly, what really matters is what Jesus said on that important issue. Join us as we listen to what […]
John 13:1-20 John 13 starts the second “book” in the gospel of John – what some have called the “book of glory.” This section will culminate in Jesus being crucified and then being gloriously resurrected, but it starts on quite a different note. In John 13:1-20, we’ll see Jesus humbling himself by taking a basin […]
Nehemiah 13 Many of the stories that we tell children in our culture tend to end with the same phrase: “And they all lived happily ever after.” As we’ve gone through the first twelve chapters of Nehemiah this summer, the story has followed that typical narrative arc, bending toward a “happily ever after.” At the […]
Nehemiah 6:1-19 What’s your favorite Olympic sport to watch? Any votes for the steeple chase? That’s probably one of the lesser-known events. The steeple chase is a nearly-two-mile race over various obstacles, including water-filled pits. In some ways, the steeple chase reminds me of life itself. Hebrews 12:1-2 picture the Christian life as a race […]
John 10:1-21 What welcome words of comfort and acceptance, especially after being treated with cruelty and rejection. The man had been born blind, but Jesus had miraculously given him sight. Instead of celebrating this amazing kindness with the healed man, the religious leaders had mocked him and kicked him out of the synagogue! It was […]
Colossians 2:20-3:4 Join us as our very own Jake Osborn leads us through Colossians 2-3 and challenges us to set our minds on Christ this new year!
John 2:13-25 Many people, when they imagine Jesus, envision a mild-mannered, tranquil, wouldn’t-hurt-a-fly type of man. But, as we’ll see in this week’s passage from the gospel of John (2:13-25), there was something that led Jesus to make a whip, flip over tables, and dump money out in the courts of the temple in Jerusalem! […]
Ephesians We’re excited to introduce our new church mission statement this week! As a church, we believe God calls us to “glorify Him by growing together in Christ as a caring community of disciple makers.” That may sound like a straightforward statement, but it’s packed with great truths and challenges for us. So come learn […]
John 1:1-8 We’ve probably all faced the reality at some point that something in our life needs a massive overhaul. We may sense something is not the way it ought to be and realize something has to change. As anyone who’s tried it can testify, change is not easy. It requires conviction. It requires intentionality.
