Romans 1:1-17 Our new series "The Gospel for the Romans" reminds us what the Church is all about. The Gospel informed our identity as followers of Jesus as well as our purpose--to take and teach the gospel to everyone who needs it.

Habakkuk 3 Even after we have these back and forth conversations with God where we express our raw emotions to Him--what do we do when the answer is a request for us to be patient? Will we still rejoice even if there is no immediate answer to our prayer? Will we still rejoice if there is no discernible fruit to be found?

Habakkuk 2:6-20 How do the "woes" against Babylon offer us today comfort when things seem out of control?

Deuteronomy 5:21 How does the Tenth Commandment reveal the heart of the Commandments as a whole? It leads us back to the grace we've received but don't deserve. It reminds us that obedience is a response to His grace--what more could be need?

Deuteronomy 5:18-19 What do the commandments prohibiting adultery and stealing have to do with one another? Behind both lies the false belief that God has not given us everything we need, and therefore, we are entitled to take that which is not ours.

Deuteronomy 5:17 Why do the redeemed people of God need to be commanded not to murder? If most of us would by default have no issue keeping this commandment, what more could it be saying to us?

Deuteronomy 5:16 Why does God care that we honor our parents? How much do I really have to do in order for it to "count" as honoring them? Pastor Thomas helps us see how honoring our parents--as imperfect as they may be--trains us from a young age to obey our Perfect Heavenly Father.

John 12:1-19 On Palm Sunday, Pastor Thomas delivers a powerful message that challenges our perceptions of Kingdom of God.
