8.31.23 Weekly Recap. Ephesians chapters 1-3 show us how we can be in the family of God. Chapters 4-6 help us to recognize that we are in a spiritual battle. The WAY we fight this battle seems counterintuitive to how we've been conditioned to think. What does it mean to be "in the fight for our faith"?

10.23.23 Weekly Recap. We start a mini-series with a fly-over view of the book of Ephesians. This week, we specifically look at what it means to be a part of the family of God. What does it mean to believe the Gospel? What does it mean to have a loving Heavenly Father? What does it mean to be a "Child of God"? Next week, we'll look at what it means to be in the "Fight for Faith....

4.26.23 Weekly Recap What does it mean to "walk in the Spirit" or "be led by the Spirit" or "by baptized by the Spirit"? This isn't some mystical, weird thing we just hear about and ignore, but this is a transforming work of God in our lives. Check out this study from Galatians 5 (and more.)

4.19.23 Weekly Recap. Many have grown up hearing the phrase, "Believe the Gospel." But many of us are either confused by or numb to it... In this episode, we looked at what The Gospel is, why the Gospel is good news, and how we can respond to the Gospel.

3.15.2023 Weekly Recap. We do a little study into this idea of "Ecclesiology." - In II Samuel 7, David wants to build God a physical temple.  God promises David instead that not only will the TEMPLE be built through David's line (Solomon), but God's KINGDOM will advance through David's line (Jesus.)  There are so many practical takeaways for us from truths like this. We discuss them in t...

3.8.2023 Weekly Recap  We look at I Samuel 24 and see how David was gracious to Saul, and we consider how this is a picture of God's grace toward His enemies. We then study how we can better be a person of integrity, a person of peace, and a person of empathy.

3.1.23 Weekly Recap. We continue in our series seeing Jesus through the life of David with one of the most told stories in history.  We recognize WHO GOD IS, WHO WE ARE, and HOW that should change the way that we live.  Spoiler alert: We're not David, and the Bible isn't about us. (TM: Matt Chandler.)

A proactive mindset takes initiative. A people-first mindset takes an investment. 

1.25.22 Weekly Recap.  We continue in our series talking about the way we think about others. There are really two types of people: those that have believed the Gospel and those that have not. Do we have empathy toward those that have not believed, and do we have unity with those that have believed?

1.4.23 Weekly Recap.  We start a new semester, a new year, and a new series all about our thoughts. Many of us want to change our behavior, but it's what we THINK that shape who we BECOME.
