Today we begin our advent series by looking at the hope we find in Christ. We learn that our hope is not just wishful thinking, but is rooted in the person and work of Christ.

Today, we continue studying The Holy Spirit by looking at Spiritual Gifts. These gifts are a blessing from the Holy Spirit to every believer. In this sermon, we will learn core theological truths about the gifts, discuss whether they still exist today, and explore some of the more misunderstood gifts.

Guest Preacher, Kord Offenbacker, joins us to dive into the importance of community with others that God created us for. Kord is the Director of Emerging Leaders with Downline Little Rock, a discipleship training parachurch ministry.

We live in a world that prioritizes hustle and hurry. A world where we are expected to work harder, sleep less and do more. But what if this pace of life isn't what God intended for us? What if God desires us to live at a much slower pace of life so that we can truly delight in him? Today we begin our series on Spiritual Practices by looking at the practice of Sabbath, a foreign concept to many of...

At the end of John 13, we read about two tragic wrongs committed by two of Jesus’ beloved disciples. So, what do you do when your closest friends wrong and wound you? For starters, you might check out Jesus’ response. Also, what should you do when you wrong and wound your Lord or others? Check out this message for some answers.

Surprisingly, John’s Gospel does not discuss Jesus’ institution of the Lord’s Supper during the Passover Meal. Instead, John tells of Jesus interrupting the meal to focus on a critical lesson for his disciples to learn. It was a lesson about Kingdom of God virtues and values. For John and Jesus, this was an extremely important lesson. Hopefully, it will be important to you as well.

John’s Gospel is written to promote belief in Jesus as the Messiah the Son of God. His key question throughout his Gospel is, “Do you believe in Jesus?” And what we find in John chapter 12 are different responses to Jesus - from “Full On Belief” to “Full On Disbelief” to “Pretend Belief” to “Secret Belief.” So, what is your response? What does your life say about your belief in Jesus? According to...

Happy Easter! Join us as we study the resurrection of Christ and the hope it brings to all people today.
