07/14/24 - Holy Sexuality | Part 2 - Jesus & Sexuality

The Bible keep using this phrase, "sexual immorality." It sounds passé if not regressive and often discarded. The question we should be asking is, have human ideas of sexual ethics really made life better for everyone? 

07/07/24 - Holy Sexuality | Part 1 - Jesus & Sexuality

The concept of sexuality is absolutely dominating our popular culture. It's clearly a powerful and, if misused, dangerous spiritual matter. The good news is that no matter how deep our brokenness, confusion, or pain, God provides redemption and goodness.

06/30/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 7 - Shalom In an Age of Anxiety

With rates of anxiety skyrocketing, it's been called an "age of anxiety." While a diagnosis of anxiety and Scripture's definition of worry are different and have different solutions, they both disrupt shalom. We can't worry our way to peace. So, what do we do?

06/23/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 6 - Shalom Is Meant to be Shared

The idea of sharing our faith makes most Christians break out in a cold sweat of anxiety. But what if we've got it all wrong? What if we're not trying to convince someone we are right but rather just participating in what God is doing?

06/16/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 5 "Bringing Shalom to Your Family"

Today is Father's Day and we will focus on the role of Father as well as the role of spiritual mentor. God wants us to be intentional about providing spiritual direction. How do we do it?

06/09/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 4- Bringing Shalom to the Workplace

How big is the gap from Sunday to Monday? In God's mind there is no division between the sacred and the secular. Who are we working for? No matter where we work, our attitude should be that we are working for God's glory.

06/02/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 3 - Love Is The Plan

God is on a mission to create shalom in the world, you play a role. It can feel overwhelming but in a lost and broken world, God has a plan.

05/26/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 2 - You Are on Mission

God is on a mission to create shalom in the world, you play a role. To make any impact requires a huge shift in your identity. You are on Mission!

05/19/24 - As It Is In Heaven | Part 1 - The Story of God

God, from the beginning, has been doing work in the world, and He invites humans to participate in a real and necessary way.

05/12/24 - What is Truth? | Part Two - Convicted

Jesus revealed truth to the world. We love learning truth but we don't always do a great job of living truth. How can we move from information to conviction?

05/05/24 - What is Truth? | Part Two - Interpreted

Jesus revealed truth to the world. So, why are there so many disagreements and divisions among people who claim to follow Jesus?

04/28/24 - What is Truth? | Part One - Revealed

Jesus didn't claim to know truth, he claimed to BE the truth. How do we think about truth in a modern, scientific and secular society? What does that mean for modern truth claims? You might be surprised.

04/21/24 - Raised To Life | It's a Commitment

In Romans 6, Paul brings two groups together unifying them and encouraging them to remember their commitment to join Christ in baptism.

04/14/24 - Raised To Life | It's Simple

Sometimes we make simple things complicated. Jesus's baptism teaches us that Baptism can be simple.

04/07/24 - Raised To Life | Fullest & Truest

Baptism finds its fullest and truest meaning in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

03/31/24 - The Question that Answers Your Questions

In the still moments we find our mind occupied with questions of meaning and purpose. The reality is there's no direct way to answer those questions. Instead they are addressed when we tackle another question - Did Jesus actually rise from the dead?

03/24/24 - Torah Together | A Way Back

As we close out our exploration of the Torah we're left with a dilemma - We cannot meet God's holy expectations and are left with the consequences of failure. What is the way back to God?

03/17/24 - Torah Together | Shape Us, Break us, Bring us to Jesus

Deuteronomy literally means "second law." There is law sprinkled throughout these five books of the Torah. Some laws are awesome, some are odd and some are troubling. What are Christians supposed to think and do with the Hebrew law?

03/10/24 - Torah Together | Life Well Lived

Deuteronomy is Moses final words to the nation of Israel as they are on the border of the Promised Land. What he tells them is critical to life as we know it, both for them and for us.

03/03/24 - Torah Together | Through the Wilderness

Ever felt like your life is not where you expected it to be? Especially when you've done all the "right" things. The truth is that God will lead you through the wilderness for our own good.
