The woman at the well is proof that God's grace can reach anybody. In her story we learn that true satisfaction is found in Jesus and His love for others should shape our own.

We start Beach Camp '19 by watching Jesus meet Nicodemus, a man like us. A person, who most of us strive to be like. But Jesus gives him a stern warning and wonderful news: "You Must Be Born Again."

James is all about Faith that Works. The Christian is known by his or her actions the way a tree is known by its fruit. What we love in private will show itself in public. James wants to help us see that true faith is always put into action.

News about abortion is everywhere. Mixed messages blitz our social media and news feeds from all sides and opinions. With so much information, we need the Bible to teach us the truth. We take a closer look at the Legal, Scientific, and Biblical sides of abortion.

Why do Baptists only baptize those who believe in Jesus first? Why don't we baptize babies like our Presbyterian or Methodist brothers and sisters? Tonight we talk about more than just Baptism. We learn not to just accept things because we've grown up with them. We need more than that. We need to hear what the Bible really says.

You asked, we answered! For the last 2 weeks you have been submitting questions about anxiety, phobias, friendships and parents. For our final segment, Ryan and Brent try to answer.

Anxiety can hit hard, and if we don't learn how to respond, it can take over. Dr. Brent Baskin has dealt with Anxiety for most of his life, and he has learned many helpful methods along the way.

One of our biggest problems with anxiety is in wrong expectations. We keep waiting for God to take all anxiety away and fix our hearts. What if we are supposed to have a little anxiety? And what if God walking with us in anxiety is better than God taking it away?

Whether they are family, friends, or romantic interests, relationships are not only important, but they also have a deep power in our lives. They can mold us into something better, or something much worse. Greg Lisson ends our Big Issue series by teaching us how to find relationships that move us forward rather than hold us back.

One reason we don't read our Bibles is because we don't think we have enough time. Not only do we have much more time to read the Bible than we think, but we also don't need as much time either.

In a special Big Issue, we hear an open letter written by a mother to a daughter about relationships. When it comes to dating, the family is so often ignored. Relationships become private and hidden rather than public and celebrated. This hiding only leads to brokenness and danger. The Bible wants to bring dating out into the light.

Whether you are dating or single, God's Word has so much to offer us. It protects our hearts, guides our decisions, and leads us to Jesus. This is our hope in dating or singleness.

So many people date just to date. This creates a casual view of sex, intimacy, emotional connection, and a lazy view of people in general. God's Word calls us to a much higher and more fulfilling view when it comes to relationships.

In our final story, Pastor Ryan shares his testimony about how Jesus Christ came running after him to save him even though Ryan was a Church kid who wanted everything to do with getting married and nothing to do with Jesus.

Depression and Anxiety are among the biggest obstacles in our culture. How do we live with them? Is there any hope? Where is Jesus in all this? Brent Baskin knows these burdens very well, and shares his story to help others.

Missions is an essential part of who we are as Christians, but where do we start? How can we learn more? How do I know if I am called to be a missionary? Lifelong missionary Steve Rubado has some guidance for us.

Stories of Gods grace help us see Gods grace clearly. Josh Tolman was living the high school and college life far away from God. But looking back he sees that the Lord was pursuing him the entire time, even at the lowest point when he was caught stealing by the police.

When we think Spiritual Warfare, we think about what the movies tell us: Hauntings and Seances and Ouija boards. But Spiritual Warfare according to the Bible is much different, much more common, and much more important than Hollywood tells us.

How will it all end? What is Revelation about? What about the Rapture? What even is the Rapture? Join us as we walk through our next "stranger thing" in Christianity.

What is Baptism? Where did we get the idea of Baptism? Should you be Baptized? Should you be Baptized again? We walk through these questions and much more!

Jesus describes freedom as the Truth taking over your heart. This is more important than ever, as the rate of Bible-reading is dropping and the rate of suicide is at a 50 -year high.

The future can be scary. What if I miss God's calling on my life? In light of Scripture, this fear is unnecessary. God is already telling us the path he has for us through giving us Passions, Talents, and Opportunities.

We all struggle with time. Time Management, Anxiety, Stress - it is all related to time. How can we manage time better? Jesus is the answer, and He shows this to Mary, Martha, and us.

What do we do when we ask Jesus to change our circumstances and He responds: "no"? Jesus is doing a great work in silence. He is doing something much deeper than changing our circumstances, He is changing our heart.

Jonah has had a system his whole life. If you do good, then God will save you. By saving Nineveh, God has broken Jonah's lifelong system. Can Jonah handle it? Can we?
