Does God lead us into temptation? If not, why does Jesus teach His disciples to pray, "Lead us not into temptation?" Check out the final message in this series to find what Jesus was teaching the disciples...and us. 

Forgiveness: we all want to receive it, but may not be so quick to dispense it. Find out in today's message, why unforgiveness really is such a big deal.

Today's message helps us learn how to ditch our oxygen-tank-sized hope and turn toward the God that breaths life—the same God that gave up His last breath for you.

We may never experience the amount of suffering that Job did, but we can know for sure that suffering is a part of life. Today's message gives practical ways to prepare for what comes our way as we faithfully follow Jesus.

In today's message, Pastor Jarrod shares four ways to make it through a Job-like testing to rise from the ashes and live again.

After Job and his friends said what they had to say about his situation and God's hand in it, God finally speaks directly to Job...and us. Join Pastor Jarrod in Job chapter 38.

Like Job, many of us think God is safe and tolerable. Today's message from Pastor Jarrod points out that this kind of thinking is very dangerous as it can lead to doubting, distrusting, and even denying God.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the drama in our lives that we need a friend to speak truth to us lovingly but bluntly. Join Pastor Jarrod in Job 32 as we meet the person who was that friend to Job.

We are living in turbulent times and it's easy to get caught up in the things of this world and what we are passionate about, but as Christians we have a standard that defines how we respond to all situations. During this turbulent election season, this message will prayerfully provide answers to how we can respond in a way that is pleasing to God.

In his yearly vision message, Pastor Jarrod shares what God has done through Grace over the past year, and challenges us to stay the course and see where God takes us in the year to come and beyond.

From John the Baptist's haunting question in a prison cell to the mystery of God's blessings, Doug Herman guides us through a journey to find faith amidst tragedy. His gripping story and deep insight will help you find hope in the broken pieces of life.

Silence seems to be the most common response to our prayers, especially when suffering, but that doesn't mean God isn't listening. What can be learned from God's silence? Follow along as Pastor Jarrod continues Job's story.

It's hard to know what to say to someone going through a difficult time or personal tragedy. Today Job's friends teach us what not to say or imply, and we'll also learn what to do to offer helpful support.

When you find yourself at a point in your life where you feel you just can't go on, remember that, just like He was with Job, God is with you in the fire and will see you through.

Pastor Jarrod continues his message, "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People," with five question many people ask regarding God and suffering.

Today's Pastor Jarrod discusses the first two trials Job experienced and his response to it. Listen and find out why the way we respond to difficulties and hardships is important to God.

The question of why God allows evil and suffering comes up in everyone's life at some point. Does the Bible tell us why? Today Pastor Jarrod begins his series on the book of Job to help us find the answer.

Every person alive on September 11th, 2001 remembers where they were when they first heard of the tragic events unfolding on that day. Fifteen years later some still wonder where God was on that day. Today's message sheds light on the hope that can only be found in Jesus, even in the face tragedy.

Ever wish you could change yesterday? Or even all of last year? Ever wish you could push "reset" on the last decade of your life? This weekend we took a look at God's perspective on our regrets—His perspective on our "wasted" years.

Have you ever wondered why God made you the way you are? Have you ever wished you could smarter, better looking, or more talented? In Psalm 139, God paints an incredible picture of how and why He made us the He did. It's a picture full of intricate detail that can change the way you view yourself and your purpose in life.

In the final message in the series on the letter of James, we learn five key ways to have a healthy soul and help others have one too.

Mental and physical toughness may not be all that important to you, but there is a toughness that all believers should be concerned with and do everything they can to achieve: Spiritual Toughness. Follow along in James chapter five and learn what it takes to have this type of toughness.

Not many people wake up thinking, "today is a great day to die." Yet, as we'll see in James chapter 4, that is exactly how we should approach each day. No one is promised tomorrow, so let's learn how to live as if today is our last.
