In Psalm 23, David asks his Good Shepherd to "Lead [him] in the paths of righteousness" but what is the source, meaning, and practical application of this familiar phrase? Listen to Part 5 of our Psalm 23 series, as Kyle Rogers shares an incredible message on this notion of righteousness! It's such good news!

What a profound statement: "I shall not want." There is only ONE who can satisfy all of our wants, needs, and deepest desires - our GOOD SHEPHERD, Jesus Christ!

Check out Week 1 of our Psalm 23 Sermon Series as Pastor Rob unpacks "The Lord is MY shepherd" and how we, like King David, must remind ourselves that we ARE sheep!

The final chapter of Ruth paints a "happy" ending to the story we first read in chapter one. Is this just a fairytale ending, a story of good fortune, or does it point us to something much grander? Our lives, much like Ruth's and Naomi's, can seem discouraging, devastating, and at times even tragic. But as we read chapter 4 of Ruth, we are reminded of Paul's words of hope in 2 Corinthians 4:16-17,...

Redemption is costly. Redemption is a legal transaction. Redemption is transformational! To receive and experience the redeeming love of God, all you need...is NEED!

In the third chapter of Ruth we discover that Boaz promises to redeem Ruth, the widowed Moabite, and make her his bride. We hope you listen this week to discover how this incredible story points to Jesus as our perfect redeemer and how His promise of redemption invites us to find our security in Him!

In Chapter 2 of the Book of Ruth, we are introduced to a new character, Boaz, who is a stark contrast from the other male characters we've met so far in this story. Boaz is God's faithful and worthy man who extends an abundance of favor and grace to Ruth. Listen to week 4 of our series as Kyle Rogers shares the good news of grace for those who seek refuge under the shadow of God's wings!

Guest Pastor, Ryan Welsh, preaches through Ruth Chapter 1 and describes the rock-solid theology of Naomi and her belief that God EXISTS, God is SOVEREIGN, and God is GOOD. We see ourselves and our own story in Naomi as, we too, need faith to understand how these truths of God play out in everyday life!

In the grace of God, the road to nowhere may yet turn out to be the first leg of the long journey home.

Series Intro and Overview

Sex is misunderstood, misused, and frankly missing in many Christian marriages today. Rather than offer 5 tips to a better sex life, we need a redeemed understanding of the purpose of sex, a refocused commitment to the gift of sex, and deep gospel healing for the wounds caused by the misuse of sex in our world today.

Christianity is quite noteworthy, even unique, in lifting up singleness as a commendable way of life. Jesus and Paul embody a life lived in God's service as single adults. Single widows were paradigms of service and caregiving in the early church. Godly singleness, the so-called gift of singleness, was seen as a sign that our future is guaranteed by God, not by our family.

Men and women are image bearers, equal in dignity, value, and worth. God sovereignly gives unique and distinct roles to men and women within marriage, the family, and the church. Unfortunately, all of this has been corrupted by men and women. Fortunately, by God's amazing grace, the broken views and roles have been redeemed in and through the person and work of Christ. Only by understanding where...

Carrying the power of truth in confrontations with your spouse must always be covered in love and accompanied with grace, which always has its focus on redemption. Using powerful words to the appropriate end is crucial. Spouses are to help each other grow into something more profoundly beautiful than anything they could create on their own. This is the way to use the pattern of God's loving redemp...

Friendship is at the heart of the purpose of marriage. When friendship is cultivated, it is a tremendous gifts to be enjoyed. Far from the inconsistent and self-centered type of friendship, marriage is meant to seal two friends in consistency, transparency, and sympathy. They are committed, open, and want to share each other's interests and heart-felt longings. The key here is that friendship cann...

Love is a deep longing for the Object of love, Jesus Himself. When the Bible speaks of love, it measures it primarily not by how much you want to receive but by how much you are willing to give of yourself for the sake of another. To say that marriage is unrelated to service and self-sacrifice is an indicator that one does not fully understand or more likely has not experienced love Himself: Jesus...

What's worse than the prevailing impulse we all have to first serve and please ourselves is the fact that most of us are convinced that this impulse is ok. To top it off, many are deceived into thinking that not only is selfishness normal, but even necessary because everyone around us is looking to take from us. But Paul announces that Jesus' way of divine wisdom is death to that very impulse. We...

Marriage is a profound mystery and if this precious relationship is going to flourish, it involves both the husband and wife dying to themselves out of sacrificial love for one another. By God's grace, continual sacrifice will not only unveil the beauty of the gospel for all to witness, it will also lead each partner into a deeper union with their spouse.

We are relational creatures by design and relationships shape our lives more than anything else on earth. However, because of sin, every single one of us is relationally broken. We have relational wounds. We're in unhealthy relationships. And worst of all, we've been looking to the wrong relationships to fix us. In this marriage series, we hope to see marriages redeemed and relationships restored....

Paul concludes his letter to the Thessalonians with what sounds like a call to Christian faithfulness. This is not the case. Instead, Paul’s final remarks tell the Thessalonians that God himself will sanctify them completely and that His faithfulness alone will accomplish the great task of keeping them blameless. This is the miracle of the grace that is ours in Christ Jesus that God always works o...

Paul encourages the church of Thessalonica to submit to church leadership, love well, worship regularly, pray consistently, and be led by the Holy Spirit. As he does this, he is painting for them a picture of what a flourishing church looks like in an environment of hostility. A healthy and flourishing church is identified by how its people relate to one another and to God.
