Millions will have read the story of the birth of Jesus Christ from Luke 2 for a Christmas service. But there is so much more to that story! What happens next gives us a glimpse into why the Lord sent his Son to be born on that morning. Listen to this short message where we learn what this mysterious person, Simeon, has to say about Jesus when Mary and Joseph bring him to the temple at 40 days aft...

Bethlehem was, "Too little to be among the clans of Judah." It was an insignificant little town. But, Bethlehem has a very rich history of Royalty and plays an important role in the legitimacy of prophecy. Join us today as we look at Old Testament prophecy and how the King of Kings was born as part of the Father's perfect plan in this little town surrounded by shepherds. 

Does the way we conduct ourselves as believers really have an effect on the world? Join us today as we explore Paul's letter to the Ephesians and see how we are called to walk in faith. 

Diving into Ephesians 4, we will begin on a path to see how we should "walk" as believers. In the first verse of the chapter we see that Paul is telling us to walk in a manner worthy of the calling. What does that mean? How do we walk? Join us as we move from the indicative nature of Ephesians 1-3 into the imperative nature of Ephesians 4-6.

This may change your perspective on what Thanksgiving in the United States really means. Paul's prayer for Ephesus has him down on his knees. Join us as we compare Paul's desire for Christians to be filled with the Holy Spirit and what President Lincoln wrote in the 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation. 

As we continue to study through Ephesians, it becomes clear that Paul has patterns for teaching. In this study a trinity of evangelism becomes clearly evident. To be humble, to be bold and to have endurance, is what Paul is teaching us. Please join us as we not only learn these truths, but pray God would develop these in our walk as we share the truth with others. 

Sometimes it is interesting to see the things in the Bible that come in three's. In this study from Ephesians 3:4-7 we will find that Paul reveals the mystery of the Gospel in a trinity. As he sums up verse 7, we will find a trinity of ministry. Join our study today as we dig deep and see that after God calls you, he will use you where HE wants you and make you a minister of the Gospel message.&nb...

Diving into Ephesians 3 this week with a look at Paul as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. Paul's perspective about his position from Roman captivity gives us some perspective on our place in the world today. You just need to ask yourself: What are you chained to?

What can we take away from the early Reformers like Martin Luther? How is the Protestant Reformation applicable to our lives today? Today we cover a short history of Martin Luther, some pre-Reformers and the impact it had on the church. Join us a we find out what it means to leave a legacy!

Now that Paul has taught us who we are in Christ Jesus, and we realize that we are no longer strangers, where do we belong? What does it mean that Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone of God's household? How do we as saints, fellow believers, fit into the house of God?  A study from Ephesians 2:19-22

What is our response to knowing that Jesus is our peace? Do we respond to the reality of God's reconciliation of the church, or our souls, with the confidence of a believer who knows Christ's peace? What do we do during the storms of life? Are we faithfully content with knowing that the work was done for us on the cross? Or do we retreat into the world and our worry? Today we cover Ephesians 2:14-...

A quick recap of Vs. 11 helps us to understand what we were made for. As we move through the next few verses, we gain a better understanding of our separation from God through our own sin. Most importantly, we learn how we are drawn closer to our God!

Ephesians 2 contains some of the deepest and most intimate theology in the Bible. Verses 8 and 9 explain God's Grace as we explore the 5 Solas. And verse 10 shows us that we are part of His workmanship as a perfect Creator. 

A study from Ephesians 2:6-7. What does it mean to be alive and raised in Christ? What is the coming age? How do we respond to these truths? Join us as we dive into these amazing verses from Paul's letter to Ephesus.

We were dead in our sin, but God! I am a sinner not worthy of grace, but God! I can't do enough to be saved, but God!  When we realize just how depraved mankind is, it is hard to understand why our loving Creator would want to redeem us to Himself. The answer to the question lies in two simple words; But God! A study from Ephesians 2:4-5

We need Jesus. Let this message be a strong reminder of where we once were, a bold declaration of where we are now in Him and motivation to reach the lost...   A study of Ephesians 2: 1-3

When you feel like the enemy is winning, he is not. He is under God’s feet. When you feel like the government and your neighbors have all gone mad realize that it does not matter, He is in control. We must stop complaining about how bad things are and start sharing the Gospel message of Jesus Christ that proudly and loudly proclaims His mighty power!

Today we examine Ephesians 1:18-19. What did Paul mean in his prayer for the saints at Ephesus that he wanted God to enlighten the eyes of their hearts? God shows the greatness of His power towards those who believe. Opening the eyes of our hearts helps us to see and understand what this power is and how it applies to our lives...

Paul heard reports of the faith and love the the Ephesians had for God and for each other while he was in prison. What do people report about you? Does anyone know of your faith? When people talk about you, do they talk about your faith and love? Today we look into Ephesians 1:15-17 and examine what Paul said about the faith of the saints living there. 

Today we explore Ephesians 1: 3-14. We are chosen before the foundation of creation in Him. What does this mean? How do we know we are secure in eternity? Why does His own work and our response work for His glory? How do we respond? A great message to discover our riches that exist only in His glory!

Ephesians 1 Verse 2. Paul's greeting to the people of Ephesus is full of rich theology. Explore the Grace and Peace that Paul brings on behalf of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. This greeting should truly help us gain perspective on our faith!

An exposition of Ephesians 1 Verse 1 that explores the office of an Apostle, how Paul is "from Jesus" and what it means for us, the Saints, to be "in Jesus." I also explore, in light of the recent San Francisco gay choir video, what our response should be, as believers who are in Christ. 

Taking a deeper look at Galatians 6. Paul said he bore the marks of Jesus Christ. Do you bear the marks of Jesus? Is there evidence in your life that you are a believer? 

As believers, can we have pride without being prideful? How does that pride look in relation to the idea of pride month? The Word of God has the answers.
