At the end of Exodus chapter 1, the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, disobey Pharaoh and lie to him. God's response? He rewards them with families! This raises the question: Are there times when lying is justified? If so, when? Join us on today's bonus podcast as we explore and apply this important question.

Exodus means “exit,” or “departure.” This book of the Bible begins with an oppressed people, who feel as if God is absent and has forgotten about them. It tells how God intervenes through Moses.

Join us as we explore this amazing book tog...

Today we finish a series of messages about the daily rhythms of Jesus. We believe that Jesus not only came as our Savior, He came as our example as well. When you look at how Jesus lived, you find that there were certain practices that he made sure to do consistently: prayer, serving, resting, giving, and more.

The Old Testament tells a tragic story of kings gone wrong: how they took more than they gave, how they desperately clung to power, and how they ultimately ran the nation of Israel into the ground. The good news is that the story doesn’t end there. 2,000 years ago Jesus came as Messiah—which means king. And unlike all the other kings before Him, He ruled with humility, selflessness, love, and just...

And, for those who have experienced great loss, the question is not just philosophical, it is personal.  The Bible does not give just one answer to this question, it gives many.

How old is the earth? The universe? How did the first life begin? Where did humans come from? The truth is that intelligent, Bible-believing Christians hold a variety of views about these important questions. Though we disagree about how God chose to create, we all agree that He is the ultimate reason that there is something rather than nothing. Join us as we investigate the scientific evidence th...
