You Changed My Mind

Matthew 7:7-12

When you’re in a small group, or talking with a non-believer in class, or see your brother/sister in Christ stumbling in sin, ask yourself: What can I say or do to be helpful in bringing a wandering sheep back? Is this going to put a heavier burden on them? If you feel judged and maybe offended when someone brings this kind of thing up to you, ask yourself: Is the content of what they’re saying bo...

Behind all the stress and the worry… what do I want? What am I most desiring of? Surrender it to Jesus. Say, “My life is yours, I’ll go wherever you want me to go, do whatever you want me to do.”

Taking on an investment mindset for the sake of the Kingdom with our time, talent, and treasure.

Matthew 6:1-18

Why do Christians follow some things in the Hebrew Bible, but not others? What does it mean that Jesus "fulfilled" the Law/Torah? Jesus is showing that His teaching is a continuation of God's intent first laid out in the Torah. His first example is that it's not simply the act of murder God is concerned about, but the condition of the heart that leads to it (anger, hate). Our nature leads us to be...

Do we appear spiritually alive on the outside, but inwardly in crisis? Are we inwardly full of faith, but hide it? Jesus teaches us that the world is decaying and dark, that He is light and redemption. We are called His salt and light, to be inwardly authentic and outwardly illuminating.

Are we content with what the world tells us happiness is? Or are we satisfied with people's approval? Jesus shows us here what God's approval and blessing truly looks like.

Why does Christianity seem so complicated? What if there was really a very simple core of Jesus' teaching, and the rest is trying to figure out how to live that out in our context? This week we begin an extended series looking into the core of Jesus' teaching that the rest of Christianity flows out of. For the next 90 days, we'll be committing to memorizing the Sermon on the Mount, and I guarantee...

Let's say you've made it past the first few dates and your relationship is progressing like you hoped- How do you know the or she is "the one"? What should you be looking for in a potential spouse? What should we be working towards as a couple? What does spirituality look like as a couple? In our final week of Dating series, we answer  these questions and more from a Chri.stian perspective&nb...

How can we thrive in a season or life of singleness? What can a Godly path of dating and intentional relationships look like? This week we look more into Song of Solomon 4 and 1 Corinthians 7 to discern Godly wisdom for dating in the 21st century.

What is God's design for marriage and sexual intimacy? Does the Bible have anything, or anything good to say about them? What foundation do we need to have as Christians to flourish sexually whether we're single, married, or anywhere in-between? Our pal Steve takes us through Scriptures in Song of Solomon, 1 Corinthians, and more as we explore these questions. 

Are we willing to follow Jesus and be faithful in evangelism and discipleship even if we don’t see immediate results?

Rejecting materialism and success driven ideologies that have infiltrated even the church, and instead embracing faithfulness.

The purpose of our lives transcends the country and culture in which we live

What does the Gospel mean to you? Good news for the sinner, the poor, and the oppressed.

Third installment of the "Assignment" series. There is a lie from the world that our destiny is clay we can mold as we want. However, the truth of God is that we are the clay being formed by the world to love it, and we need a robust counter formation away from the ways of the world back to God.

Part 2 of our "Assignment" Series. Out of the overflow of knowing Jesus we make Him known. We are formed not to know what our Rabbi knows, but to do what our Rabbi Jesus did.

In a series on ministry values and identity. Is it possible we may be so focused on good things that we miss what God called us to all along? 

It's not a rejection, but a repositioning

The Israelites face a catastrophic loss. The Ark is captured and all hope is lost. How do we reconcile what seems like an attempt to seek God's help, but leads to an even worse defeat?

Trinity Young Adult Ministry series on the books of Samuel

Exile, Deliverance, Kingship These are cycles we find ourselves in with God, and find throughout the Hebrew Bible. Yet Jesus came to bring us a cycle of sanctification because He has won the battle against our sin.

Why doesn't God just save everybody? Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Do we really believe it's good, urgent news?
