Summary: Why do we long for a hero? Why do our heroes always let us down? This Sunday, we will begin a new Advent series, and look at how all these longings point to Jesus. He is the quintessential hero, the chosen one, the Messiah. Who He is makes Him the only hero who can truly save us, and what’s He’s done proves He’s the only hero who will never let us down. Audio Transcript: You're listening...

Summary: When's the last time you've seriously thought about your funeral? How do you want to be remembered by those you leave behind? If you were to write a eulogy for your own funeral, would what you say? What would you like to be included in your obituary? What would you choose for your epitaph? These are seemingly morbid questions, especially in a culture desperately bent on sheltering itself...

By the way, congratulations for making it out. Whenever it rains, I already know the Navy SEALS are going to show up.

Summary: Satan hates God. However, he can't hurt God directly. So he does everything he can to hurt God indirectly, and he does so by attacking God's children. Holy Scripture promises us that "all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus promised his followers that they will be hated just for being Christians (John 15:18-20). Christian, if you fol...

Summary: Proverbs 13:20 says, "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." Wise friends set us on a trajectory of wise living. Foolish friends predict a foolish future. Who are your friends? Are they wise? Are you a good friend? Do you treasure friendship? This week we look to the greatest friend ever, Jesus Christ, to study what made Him such a great fr...

Summary: Psalm 34:8 says: "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!" There is a seeing and tasting that is infinitely deeper than physical. Tasting God, who is supremely beautiful to the heart and exquisitely sweet to the soul, precedes seeing God. The only true way to master our harmful desires is to counter them with healthful desires. How can we learn to crave that which is best for us? Through...

Summary: How do we wrestle with the realities and complexities of our family situations today? How do we properly sort through the blessedness and the brokenness? Is it worth it to dig up all the dirt in order to move forward? How do we identify and interact with our biological families and the world given that Scripture tells us that when we're united to God through Christ we become a member of a...

Summary: The question we’re going to wrestle with this week is, “why is trust something that needs to be built at all?” Why is trust so hard to gain, and so easy to lose? More importantly, how can we master the art of not just creating the perception of trust, but actually being stable, reliable, trustworthy and likable people ourselves? How can we, as follower of Jesus, become the kind of people...

Summary: Why are words as powerful as they are? What is it about a turn of a phrase that can make us laugh or cry? Why can some words start families and other words spark wars? Words have the power to create life and inflict death. Words are immaterial, yet contain the power to create and shape material reality. Perhaps this begins to scratch the surface of why Jesus is the Word. Audio Transcript:...

Summary: Though we shirk our responsibility to live God-honoring lives, Jesus takes responsibility for us. Our sin wasn't His fault, but He took responsibility. Once we receive His free gift of grace, Jesus entrusts us with the responsibility to use our time, talent, and treasure to love God and people.

Summary: In Matthew 10:16, Jesus said, "Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." Jesus often mixed metaphors to describe the nuanced profundity of the Truth. Jesus calls Christians to live like sheep who follow the Good Shepherd, which in turn, makes us a special sort of sheep. Sheep are proverbially stupid, yet Jesus calls us to...

Summary: The God of the Universe, literally kneels to wash the filthy crud off his disciples' feet. This is one of the most shocking and scandalous texts in all of Scripture. Then Jesus says, "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet." At the end of that scene, Jesus says in John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one...

Summary Several years ago the executive leadership team of Chick-fil-a had worked for quite some time on how to keep up with the competitive challenge created in their industry by Boston Chicken (later known as Boston Market). After a period of intense research and market studies, a group of young visionary leaders with big ideas and bright strategies found themselves in a committee room of frenzi...
