God not only created human beings in His image but also to function according to a specific design. This design includes understanding gender and marriage from God’s perspective.

God created human beings in His image. It's the explanation for the beauty of humanity. This biblical worldview is the explanation for what is so right and so wrong with all of us - and thankfully, it also provides us the ultimate solution.

A worldview is a framework from which we view reality and make sense of the world. A biblical worldview is understanding God's story through the lens of Creation, Fall, Redemption and Restoration. Our lives and world are broken because of the consequences of a choice that took place at a tree. Our lives and the world can be different because of the grace demonstrated at another tree.

A worldview is a framework from which we view reality and make sense of the world. A biblical worldview is understanding god's story through the lens of Creation, Fall, Redemption and Restoration. The most natural place to start building that framework is "In the beginning."

We all have a worldview, a framework that shapes how we live. It is the lens through which we see, understand, and interpret the world and our place within it. A Godly worldview begins with looking to the Word of God to understand the Story of God.

We all have a worldview, a framework that shapes how we live. It is the lens through which we see, understand, and interpret the world and our place within it. Do you know what has shaped your worldview? Today we begin to unpack what a godly worldview is and how we live from it.

One of the biggest sources of conflict is money. But when we understand that life is about stewardship not ownership, we begin taking steps towards financial peace.

When we receive and embrace the peace that only comes from God, we have an opportunity to wage peace and use conflict as a tool for God's Glory, the good of others, and our growth.

Conflict is a pain point that surfaces in all our lives, but Jesus calls us to leverage conflict as an opportunity to display the gospel by choosing to forgive. Because Christ has forgiven us, Jesus puts forth a call for us to use forgiveness to fight against conflict and initiate reconciliation.

Peter experienced amazing highs and devastating lows during his time with Jesus. But in one moment, his denial of Christ by a charcoal fire the night before the crucifixion left Peter broken and devastated. Jesus' gracious restoration of Peter after the resurrection gives hope to us all.

Even on the day we celebrate Christ's resurrection, some are struggling with doubt. Jesus' encounter with Thomas encourages us to honestly wrestle with our doubts, which can bring us to a place of settled belief.

Life is filled with hurts. The grief we experience on the inside isn't always obvious on the outside. How do we navigate through these emotions? How can we help others who are struggling? In John 11, we have much to learn from Jesus as He engages with two grieving sisters.

Life is filled with distractions. But the things that distract aren’t necessarily wrong or bad. It’s often just a matter of what we ultimately prioritize. In John 6, Jesus challenges His followers to pursue what endures instead of what is temporary.

What people see on the outside doesn’t always line up with what is happening on the inside. Today we will look at Jesus’ interaction with Nicodemus to better understand the gospel.

What people see on the outside doesn't always line up with what is happening on the inside. As we look at how Jesus interacted with people, we will see Him graciously and intentionally allow the Gospel to change them from the inside out.

John brings his letter to a conclusion by assuring us that those who believe in the name of Jesus may know that we have eternal life.

John is writing to strengthen our faith and to encourage our fellowship with God by reminding us that what we believe about Jesus matters. But he also affirms that our faith is active and ongoing resulting in life in Christ.

John is writing to strengthen our faith and to encourage our fellowship with God by assuring us of the deep love our Heavenly Father has for us, made manifest through Jesus Christ.

John is writing to strengthen our faith and to assure us of our fellowship with God. He reminds believers that our love for others is one of the primary characteristics of a follower of Jesus.

John is writing to strengthen our faith and to assure us of our fellowship with God. He challenged us to walk in the light—to walk with honesty in the revelation of God’s truth (1:5-2:2). Some may now be wondering how do we know that we know Him—that we are in relationship with Him. John’s answer is that our fellowship with Him is not primarily about what we avoid, but what we pursue.

John is writing to strengthen our faith by helping us understand who God is and how we maintain fellowship with Him. God is light so we should walk in the light by dealing honestly with the seriousness, the guilt and the presence of sin.

As we close out the Christmas series and 2020, let’s consider how the light and life of Jesus is impacting our lives.

The proclamation of the birth of Jesus is an invitation to come to Him. Shepherds and Wise Men were the first to be invited. Jesus’ ministry was characterized by the repeated invitation to come. The invitation still stands today. How will we respond?
