Don't you wish life had an instruction manual? Or just directions to the next stop? Negative things can happen, but it'd be nice if it wasn't the result of driving off every cliff along the way.

In this episode, Pastor Taylor ta...

The truth of suffering is that it's an exercise in humility. We do not want to suffer because we do not think we should have to suffer. But Peter points directly at the One who deserved least of all to suffer. God Himself, suffered by becoming man, and humbled Himself all the way to the cross. How could we think we deserve better than our Lord? In this episode, Pastor Taylor finishes a series...

The Bible never talks about dating. That is because dating is a cultural expression of how we end up married. The Bible's concern is how we put the Gospel on display in marriage. If we would focus on that Gospel centered result, dating appropriately wouldn't be so confusing.
