In a world filled with brokenness, Jesus came to bring healing and restoration. His purpose was clear: to save us from sin and restore our relationship with God. This week, we’ll discover how the promise of a Savior changes everything, offering hope and redemption for all people.

The story of Jesus begins with a genealogy—a reminder that God’s promises are deeply rooted in real people and real history. This week, we’ll discover how Jesus invites us into a new family, one shaped by grace and the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan.

Join us as we wrap up our series, I’m Glad You Asked. This week, we’re tackling the question: Can I know God personally? Deep within us is a longing—a thirst—to connect with the One who created us. But is such a relationship truly possible? Let’s explore this together. John 10:10-11 & 14-16

Welcome back to Glad You Asked, our series tackling life’s toughest questions about faith. Last week, we explored, “Is Jesus Really God?” and discovered that the Bible makes a strong case for His divinity. But that leads us to another critical question: “Is the Bible reliable?” If we can’t trust what it says, everything else falls apart. Join us this weekend as we dive into this important topic an...

In our Glad You Asked series, we’re exploring one of the most fundimental questions of Christianity: Is Jesus really God? This question invites us to delve into the very heart of Christian belief, exploring what Jesus’ divinity means and why Christians affirm His life, death, and resurrection as divine acts of love and salvation. We’ll look closely at scripture, history, and perspectives from the...

In our series " I'm Glad You Asked, " we are asking some big questions. This week, we explore the question, "Is Christianity Too Narrow?" We are surrounded by people of many faiths, so how can we insist that there is only one way? To say such a thing sounds narrow-minded at best and judgmental at worst. Be a part of the conversation as we dive deep into these questions and barriers many of us wres...

You’re invited to join us for the next part of our series, I’m Glad You Asked, where we tackle life’s big questions. Last week, we explored “Is There a God?” and discussed the evidence for faith. But for many, the question goes beyond evidence. Often, there’s a deeper struggle or doubt that holds us back from exploring God further. This week, we’ll dive into those deeper questions and barriers tha...

Last week, we tackled “Does Life Have a Purpose?” and found that without God, the answer might be no—but with Him, not only does life have a purpose, but your life has meaning and direction. This week, we move to the next logical question: “Is There a God?” Come explore, question, and discover with us.

Does life have a purpose? Each week this month we are asking big questions and offering a safe space to engage in honest dialogue, seek answers, and explore faith with openness.

Join us this weekend as we dive into 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 and the powerful truth that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. In a world that glorifies power and success, Paul reminds us that true influence comes when we lead with humility and vulnerability. By embracing our weaknesses, we open the door for God’s power to work through us in ways we could never imagine. Don’t miss this opp...

This week, we look to Joseph’s story in Genesis 50:15-21 as a reminder that while our past and family shape us, they don’t define us. Despite enduring betrayal and pain from his own brothers, Joseph allowed God to transform his story of brokenness into one of forgiveness, healing, and blessing. God invites us to break free from the unhealthy patterns of our past and step into the new life He offer...

This week, our focus will be Jonah 3:6-4:11. We’ll explore the story of Jonah, a prophet who knew God’s voice but struggled to show love to others. Like the religious leaders in Jesus’ time, Jonah had knowledge of God but lacked compassion. Jesus made it clear that true spirituality must be reflected in our love for people, and spiritual maturity is not about religious activities but about how dee...

This week we explore the profound and often overlooked treasures that can be found in grief and loss. Through the story of Job, we'll learn how God meets us in our deepest pain and transforms our hearts, leading us to a greater understanding of His love and power. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience healing and renewal in your spiritual journey.

We live in a culture that views limits as liabilities. We are raised to believe we can do and be whoever we want. However, the Scriptures have a very different view of limits; they view limits as gifts that God uses to teach us and grow us into the people He has called us to be. In the Bible, we learn about a man named Elijah who is burned out because he has come to believe the lie that the future...

To “Americanize” something means to shape it with American characteristics or bring it under the political, cultural, or commercial influence of the United States. When we “Americanize” Jesus within the church, we follow Him primarily because we believe He will make our lives better and more comfortable according to worldly standards. This is not a new problem. Jesus' disciples faced it, too.

Many of us find ourselves constantly overextended, doing more for Jesus than our inner life with Him can sustain. This often leaves us feeling anxious, frustrated, and teetering on the edge of burnout. This weekend, we’ll dive into what it truly means to understand that God desires to spend time with us, and how we often get distracted by doing things for Him. A powerful example of this can be fou...

It’s impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. God created us as beings who think and feel, who don’t just understand theological truths but are called to live in a relationship with Him and others. Our emotional lives are a powerful place to meet God, and it is often beneath the surface where He desires to do His greatest transforming work. Join us in this new seri...

What does it mean to be a “citizen of heaven” but still be a citizen of the United States? Can we be patriotic and proud of our country yet remember that our first allegiance is God? How does a Christian deal with the hostility that seems to weave through politics in our country today?

The Bible teaches that all authority, even that of secular leaders, comes from God. These leaders are considered His servants, intended to promote goodness in His creation. Whether or not they acknowledge God's authority, they fulfill their role when they work to restrain evil and create a safe society for everyone. As Christians, we demonstrate our obedience to God by being obedient to our govern...

Join us this weekend when we continue our series "One Nation Under God?" This week, we are exploring what it means to be a dual citizen. We are citizens of the United States and have the responsibility to be the best citizens we can be, while at the same time, our citizenship is in heaven!  How can we do our best to be “in the world but not of the world,” as the Bible teaches?

American democracy is more than a set of governmental institutions and practices. It rests on a foundation of deeply ingrained values that both shape and reflect our hearts. Some of these values are noble. Other values—including ones we take most for granted—are in direct conflict with the gospel. Historical perspective can help us to see contemporary American democracy with new eyes, in the proce...

It seems these days that our country is more divided than ever. Partisan politics is the rule in our government. Racial struggles dominate the news. Civil authorities like the police clash with the citizens they are sworn to serve and protect, and those citizens show no respect for those who serve. The rich get richer, and the poor grow poorer. Our once united country appears to be falling apart a...

In the final week of our series, we will understand that grace is the final ingredient of enduring friendship. In the story of Philemon and Onesimus, Paul reminds them both that, through Christ, they are now forgiven. Over and over again, he appeals to this new identity in Jesus as the basis for their reconciliation with one another. Why? Because, in Jesus, they have now been covered by His grace.

If we want our friendships to last, we need to be open to letting the other person influence us by not only hearing the truth but also responding to it in ways that create lasting change. Both Philemon and Onesimus had to be ready to not only hear the truth from Paul about their strained relationship but also allow that truth to transform them. Repentance means being willing to take a new path tog...

The first essential ingredient for enduring friendships is truth. Because we are all sinners, it is inevitable that friendships will eventually lead us to encounter—and face—sin in ourselves and in others. This is certainly a reality in Philemon and Onesiumus’ case; if their relationship as Christians is ever to grow into an enduring friendship, it requires both to face the truth about themselves,...
