Need more joy?...Let's get out of God's way!

Let's strive to be cleaner on the inside than the outside...what God is doing is an inside job!

What's the take-away? AIM to please Jesus...in everything!

We're kicking off our time with the Thessalonian church. Prepare to be challenged, encouraged and inspired

Devote yourselves to prayer...that's it. Let's do it!

The peace of Christ and the word of God...dwelling and ruling inside of us produces new things, good things for us and those around us.

Set your hearts and minds on things above...too simple!! So why is this so tough? Let's get the bottom of it. Paul's talking about identity and putting to death the stuff that brings death.

Jesus is King! Beware of deceivers, philosophers, false teachers....but how? Come on and find out!

Jesus is King, He's enough, it all about Him...that's it in a nutshell

Welcome to Colossae! Join us as we dive into this epic letter to the Colossian brothers and sisters!

As we finish up Philippians it may be hard to find out that one of contemporary christianity's favorite scriptures may not mean what we think...but don't worry it's better! Paul keeps challenging the Philippians and us to learn a secret...how to be content in each and every circumstance.

It's a mind thing! How we think, what we think about...it all matters in the Kingdom of God. The mind does well what the mind does often

Paul is all about focus, intentionality and purpose. How does he face adversity? Staying fixed and focused on the goal ahead of knowing Jesus, sharing in his sufferings and being conformed to His likeness. Let's hear Paul out on how we should think and what we should stop thinking about!

Jesus humbled himself, emptied himself, became a servant and so should we. Here's what his looks like to be a shining star in a dark world.

This can all be summed up in one word...Humility...simple concept but not easy. Follow along as Brent takes us through the why and how of discipleship in Jesus

The Gospel...over and over and over. It's the lens that Paul views everything through. He derived power, purpose and identity from the Gospel. Unfortunately in our day, the Gospel has been boiled down to doctrinal information alone. We think if we know the information we'll be OK. This is not Paul's reality or Jesus's teaching.

We're heading to Phillippi! Paul's still in prison as he pens this letter, but be prepared as usual, to be challenged, encouraged and inspired by these Spirit filled words.

Finally...Paul wraps up Ephesians with a bang. Be strengthened...we're in a cosmic battle...pray always. Simple enough, but will we be a people who live this out?

Paul has settled into ground zero when it comes to living out our new identity...the household. What we do behind our front doors says more about who we are than anything we do in public. Husbands, wives, children, parents, household slaves and masters. There is no stone unturned.

Join Ben as he guides us into Paul's teachings about parents, kids, obedience and exasperation. The Kingdom ways of family are challenging, counter cultural and ultimately life giving...get ready to dig in!

Submission to each other, wives and husbands? Oh my...marriage as a means to show the world about God's love and the church! Marriages that reflect and radically proclaim God's grace and love? Lets go!!

Imitate the Father AS DEARLY LOVED children...Here we go, Paul is really leaning into what kingdom living should look like and what it shouldn't look like. Jesus has not come to christianize disobedience but to give us the true light to walk in.

Paul calls the Ephesian christians (and us!) to action. The church and the. world are not the same. Get rid of the old ways, live out the new creation life, specifically in how sin is dealt with and how we talk to and about people. It's simple but not easy....

The church gifted in order to give gifts...Christ the King, the divine warrior...mending broken bones there all packed into this next section of Ephesians 4

Therefore...it's a big word with tons of meaning. Everything Paul has written tot eh Ephesians previously was meant to slingshot them into a kingdom kind of life. How? Paul starts outlining the process right here!
