Through telling two similar parables, Jesus explains to us what we should expect the world to like like, and what we should expect the Church to look like before He returns.

When will Jesus return? The better question is: how do we get ready for it? What should we doing as we wait? Tonight we learn from Christ's story of three servants given gifts, by their generous Master.

What is Christianity really like? What does it mean to truly follow God? Tonight Ryan walks us through Matthew 13 and a man who finds treasure hidden in a field that will change his life.

What exactly is the Kingdom of God? How can we know if we are following God closely? These are questions Bryon answers in our latest Parable.

In Mark chapter 4 Jesus gives one of His most memorable and meaningful lessons. What is the state of our hearts? Everything hangs on this one question. Ryan opens up this important parable to show us the life-changing words of Jesus.

What is the book of Ruth really about? What's really going on with the threshing floor? Where is Jesus in all of this? Pastor Ryan concludes our series in this amazing book.

How do Ruth and Boaz finally find hope for Naomi and her family? What does true Christlike behavior look like? Owen Vinson takes us through the end of Ruth chapter 3.

Ruth + Boaz = ??? That is the question of Ruth chapter 3. It is time to define the relationship. But - as our panel with Bryon, Haley, and Hannah will show us - there is so much more to the story than that.

Boaz sets an incredible example in loving Ruth for how we can love and care for those around us. But more is going on here than we think. Boaz is not just an example. He is a signpost. He is pointing to someone else even more gracious than we can possibly imagine.

Tonight we hear from Youth Intern Owen Vinson. He takes us through Ruth and Boaz's first meeting and shows us how God is working the entire time.

Naomi knows God is in control, but her heart is broken and angry. So often when things go wrong in our lives we turn our back on God, but God is faithful to us still. As Naomi begins the journey home, she won't be alone. God will be with her, through Ruth.

In the first half of Ruth Chapter 1 we learn that God is sovereign in our suffering, God is faithful to us when we are suffering, and most important: God is faithful to us even while we are sinful.

Bryon guides us back through Philippians 4, and helps us reflect on where we are since Beach Camp. After the church camp high fades and new seasons arrive that aren't as great as summers, how do we keep a JOY that will last?

How can we find hope in the daily struggles and difficult circumstances in our life? God's Word gives us hope that not only are these trouble helping us deeply, they are also happening within the loving hand of God.

What does it mean to endure? The Christian life is one of endurance. We wait and pray for Jesus to help us and to return. How does this apply to a busy week at WinShape? Pastor Ryan shows us.

We end our time at Beach Camp by ending our time in Philippians. Paul shows us that even in jail, God can bring freedom. Even in heartbreak, God can bring hope. So often, these are the very things He uses to bring try joy into our lives.

What does it mean to rest in Christ? How do we find joy in the jail cells of our lives? Bryon walks us through Philippians 3 and tells us how.

Paul wants the young church at Philippi to be united in suffering. What does it look like when God is really moving in a Church? Philippians 2 shows us.

The book of Philippians is written to the Church at Philippi. But how did that church come to be? Ryan takes us through the founding of the Philippian church and explains what it means for us today.

In this special Mother's Day sermon, Ryan addresses families, the Gospel, and takes us through some helpful insights, from Jesus' time with the Woman at The Well.

"Above all else, Guard your heart..." We have heard that verse so many times in our lives, but what does it actually mean. In tonight's sermon, Ryan takes us through why Jesus cares deeply about our heart, and what that means for our lives.

Proverbs 31 has been a popular text for centuries. This week, Bryon shows us what it has to say about us, and more importantly, how it points us directly to Jesus Christ.

Wisdom is a banquet feast.  Wisdom is good and wisdom gives us life.  It is also something that requires we leave behind the simple wasys that are dragging us down.  We learn tonight how God works in our lives to bring us wisdom. 

Lust is a difficult topic.  It's hard to talk about and understand.  But God's Word can help us.  The Bible has the ability to not only explain lust and its dangers to us, but it can actually change our lustful hearts as well.

Starting our new series this Spring, "The Way of Wisdom," Bryon introduces us to the book of Proverbs and walks us through Proverbs 1. As we begin a journey growing in wisdom, learn what it means to begin the journey in the fear of the Lord!
