We often do not live like the body of Christ because we rarely understand what that body is supposed to look like. Paul does not want us to be confused, that body is of many parts, but only one Spirit and one head. When we have a correct image of what the body is supposed to be, we will live in a way that shows the world the love of Jesus Christ. Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about the body of Chris...

We live in a day and age where feeling any shame is a bad thing. Our culture says it is wrong to make anyone feel shame for anything. The Bible tells us that shame should drive us to repentance.

This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert shows us how to not bring shame on...

So often in life we depend on our own strength. We are taught from an early age to be self-reliant. The truth is the strongest and wisest things we could ever do fall tragically short of providing what we actually need. God, however, in His "weakest" moment, was strong enough to save us all. This week, Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about God's weakest moment in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. G...

The overarching message of Ephesians covers the entirety of God's purpose in the life of his children.
