Prayer can be a weird thing. Sometimes it feels natural, but there are other times when it feels awkward and useless. This week we begin working on our prayer lives by looking at what many call "The Lord's Prayer." Luke 11:1-10

This week we wrap up our series on the unexpected aspects of the Christmas Story! We look at the Christmas story in Matthew! Check it out! Matthew 1

Throughout the Bible God uses unexpected people to accomplish his will. The Christmas story is not different! Join us this week as we talk about some of the people that are a part of the Christmas story and what role they play in the birth of Jesus! Luke 1:26-55 Philippians 2:3-11

This Sunday we kicked off our series called Unexpected. We talked about how God can use everyday, mundane, and even boring things to accomplish is wonderful plan! Bethlehem was not a thriving metropolis and a manger is not the place a king was expected to be born. But it was in this mundane place that God brought salvation to the world!

What is confession? Are we supposed to confess our sins to other people? How does that work? Do I really want people knowing everything about me? Join us as we look at what the Bible says about confession. 1 John 1:9 James 5:16

This week we continue our series in Generosity as we dive into what it means to be a good steward. "This isn't about more money for the church. This isn't about chastising anybody for where they spend their money and how they spend it. It's about turning our hearts."

This week we continue looking at the theme of generosity in the Bible.

Generosity is an important theme that can be traced through out the bible. Join us as we explore what the Bible has to say about generosity. Generosity allows us to be part of something bigger than ourselves, brings joy, and makes us more like Christ.

This week we answered your questions! Spiritual Warfare can be confusing, so we took this Sunday to respond to questions from you. How did pride get into heaven? If satan’s pride lead to rebellion and heaven is perfect, how did sin get in? If Adam and eve had never eaten the fruit and sinned would we still be sinful beings? We know that the Devil knows the bible, but did he know the plan before it...

This week we continue our dive into the armor of God. Where do you find your strength?

This week we continued our series on spiritual warfare. We looked at the importance of having a foundation of truth. We discussed the breastplate of righteousness and how it is important to remember that our righteousness comes from Jesus, not our own efforts.

This week we continued our discussion of Spiritual Warfare. The last too weeks were about Satan, demons, and the strategies they use to attack us. However, we do not have to be afraid because we have a great ally! Jesus is our ally and he has already won!

This week we talked about how Satan, our spiritual enemy, seeks to destroy us. Intense! It is important that we know how Satan tempts us so that we can be alert. "8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8)."

This week we continued our discussion of spiritual warfare. This week we focused on what can be an uncomfortable topic: Satan and demons. What does the Jesus say about Satan? What do we find when we look at other places in the bible? What does this mean for us in our daily life?

This week we talked about spiritual warfare and the battle between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of God. Paul, in Ephesians 6, tells us that there is an unseen spiritual world that exists alongside our physical world.

This week we talked about the last eight chapters of the book of Acts, which tell the story of Paul's journey to Jerusalem and his subsequent trials and hardships. Despite knowing the dangers that awaited him, Paul was compelled by the Holy Spirit to go to Jerusalem. Despite the warnings and difficulties, Paul remained faithful to God's calling. He was eventually arrested, forgotten in jai...
