As we begin the sermon series on Ecclesiastes, we are told that all in this life is vanity. This may begin a sense of hopelessness, that is unless you know the One in who you can put your hope in. A life in Christ, not the world, is filled with meaning and hope.

God is the reason why we could ever do any good. Abiding in Him allows us to pour into others and treat others as God does: with deep compassion, kindness, and love that is inaccessible anywhere else.

Idols are more than just wooden statues, they are things of the world. God calls us to put Him on the throne, not the world. Live for eternity, not for the temporary!

Doubt is something we all struggle with even as believers. Here we look at what Jesus says about doubt. 

Through our walk with Christ, it's important to hold to Jesus Christ, our Anchor in the storm, when distracted. Through this, we can stay focused on Christ and His mission.

We were once dead, and now we are alive. We no longer are slaves to sin and have been set free by Jesus' blood on the cross. Feel comforted that the Spirit of God is with you.

God sends us to proclaim, pray, and trust His provision. Be devoted to pray and and share the Gospel this week.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

A few of our students went on mission in France over Thanksgiving break, and some of them share their experience.

The Gospel changes everything in our lives, from big picture things to day to day things, such as our interactions with our leaders, with others, and with God.

Jesus Christ will return one day, although we don't know the day or hour. Scripture shows us we can have hope in His return, as well as what kind of response we should have for the second coming of our Lord.

How can we live a life pleasing to God? We do this by loving others. By this, all will know we are disciples of Jesus.

Only through a relationship with Jesus Christ can we began to live a life pleasing to God. Hear how to live out the Gospel that has changed your life.

How do we grow in our faith? Allowing God's Word to transform us will change our lives forever. Develop and pray for a great love for God's people. Hold fast to the Lord the Gospel that saves you.

The Gospel changes who we are and how we live so that the world around us sees and hears the Gospel proclaimed! 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

How does the world get turned uside down? Through this message, we will see how the Lord can turn our world and the world around us upside down through the message of the Gospel!!!

Our college intern, Thomas, speaks tonight out of First Corinthians, and reminds us not only that God and sin incompatible, but also that God loved us enough to pay the ultimate price to give us victory over sin.

Concluding our sermon series through the Book of Exodus, we find Israel stuck between a rock and a hard place. Sea on one side, treacherous wilderness on the other, and Egyptian army closing in on them to boot. In this moment, the people of Israel are suddenly not so sure that God's plan will end well for them. Spoiler alert: God was in control the whole time, and He's still in control.

Continuing in our series through the book of Exodus, we see the need for the nation of Israel to stop and reflect. The Lord's instructions to both remember and teach future generations of His faithfulness leaves Israel with a bold call to action, which rings true to us today as followers of Christ.

Continuing in our series through Exodus, we go through the story of The Passover, and it's connection to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

Continuing in our series through Exodus, we read through these ongoing encounters between the prophet Moses and the Pharaoh of Egypt, and of course the plagues that come to pass. 

As we continue through our series in Exodus, we see that this plan to get Israel out of Egypt isn't going to be as straight forward as we might've hoped. Despite this, we see that God is faithful and steadfast, holding true to the word that he has promised to Moses and his forefathers. 

Continuing in our series through Exodus, tonight we go through God's calling for Moses. Through this passage we learn about many of the ways we commonly respond to God's call on our life, but also see a glimpse of what is possible when we respond to God's calling with obedience.
