Are Your Words Making Others Sick?
It is easy to believe that our words are harmless, but Scripture paints a very different picture. Our words have the power to either build others up, or to actually make them sick - to harm their souls, hurt relationships, and break hearts. Wha...
Quick to Listen
Before we learn to say anything that matters, we need to learn how to listen to what other people are saying that matters! Are you a good listener? Or do you just listen so you can talk?
Our Money is Not Our Money
The biblical ethic of money teaches the powerful principle of stewardship. Learn how all that we have is actually God’s, and we are called to care for it and use it wisely!
Generosity is Good for You (and Others!)
Jesus teaches that it is “more blessed” to give than to receive. Why? What does he mean? In this teaching we explore the many ways we find this to be true in the biblical worldview.
A Price to Pay
As we wrap up our series on Daniel, we talk about the price and Daniel and his friends were willing to pay so they didn't compromise their faith. When we apply that story to our lives, what price are we willing to pay for our faith in Jesus?
How to Redeem the Culture
It can be tricky living in a culture whose values and norms are often in such direct contradiction to those of Jesus. How, as Christians, are we to respond? We can become angry, bitter, and even hurt, or we can move in the opposite direction to...
Raise Your Expectations
In this passage we see something we don’t see anywhere else - Jesus being unable to perform miracles because of the lack of faith of those around Him. Today we ask the question: “Would we see more of God in our lives, if we expected to see more...
Culture Demands. God Provides.
As we look at the first chapter of Daniel we discover how intensely they were pressured to be indoctrinated into their new culture. As exiles, how did they hold onto their identity, their moral code, and their God? And what lessons can we pull ...
We Are God's Witnesses
Jesus calls us His witnesses. What does that mean for your life today? How can you live a life that is a testimony, that testifies, to the truth about Jesus?
One Invitation Could Change Everything
In this text we see the power of a simple invitation: several times we see followers of Jesus inviting other people to "come and see" the amazing work of Jesus. Today, we can do the same. A simple invitation could change someone's life forever....
People Need to See It!
People need to see the Good News, not just hear about it. How can we, as the church, show people our faith in a way that is attractive and draws them closer to Jesus?
Circles of Sufficiency
Do you ever feel like you are running on empty in life? God has provided three circles of sufficiency that when we lean into them we find the strength and replenishment we all need.
Gratitude & Generosity: Better Ways to Live
Exercising the habit of generosity changes your heart and causes you to be more thankful for everything!
I Am the Resurrection
What happens when we die? How does our sin affect our eternal destination? Jesus tells us that He not only knows the answer, but that He IS the answer. He said, “I am the resurrection.” What does this mean for our lives?
I Am the True Vine
Jesus teaches us that we can do nothing without Him. And he calls us to live a life of significance that produces fruit - fruit that will last! As we learn to follow him more fully, what fruit are we leaving behind?
I Am the Way to the Father
Jesus describes Himself as the only Way to relationship with God. The subtext is that God actually wants a relationship with us! That is incredible news! However, it can be easy to settle for something less than the loving, full hearted relatio...
Filled with Awe
Guest preacher Mark Tindal challenges us to remember that part of following Jesus is praying for and expecting the miraculous!
I Am the Good Shepherd
For many of us it is easier to think of God as an our leader or our Savior, but it can be hard to let him care for our hearts. This week we look at what it means when Jesus says that He is our Good Shepherd.
I Am the Light of the World
We live in a world that is full of darkness. A world that often distorts and confuses good for evil, light for darkness. How have we, because we live in this world, been affected by the darkness? Have we gotten used to it and forgotten what it ...
The Bread of Life
Jesus says that he is the Bread of Life? For us to truly live we need to feed on who He is. But what does that mean and how do we do that?
Doing the Work
We all usually know what we should do - the problem isn't knowledge, its application. This teaching will challenge you to do the work you know you need to do, in order to be the person you know you want to be!
Dig Your Well Deeper
In a surprising twist of a Bible passage, James tells us to count it “pure joy” when we face hardships. How is that possible? What does he mean? And how can we apply that to our lives? In this passage we learn how hardships can make you better ...
Grace and Effort
A Christian truth that will lead you to a better life is the practice of repentance. Repentance, though, can be confusing. In this teaching we learn how God’s grace coupled with our effort will lead to lasting life change.
