Resurrecting Compassion
We have become so inundated by news and media and so focused on ourselves that true compassion is hard to find. Join us as we call out some of the reasons why this is true and learn what true compassion looks like from the life of Jesus.
Revealing Authenticity
Authenticity is hard to come by these days. We all are tempted to only show the world around us what we want them to see. The problem is that those superficial coverings in time turn into spiritual conditions, which we need to address. Join us for this study in 2 Corinthians 3 and through Christ […]

Restoring Intimacy
Though technology and social media can help us in small ways in our relationships, they also have the potential to do major damage. They are changing the way that a generation is looking at relationships, which is completely different from the kind of intimacy that Jesus both demonstrated and asked us to show.
Recovering Contentment
In a world full of personal struggles that are perpetuated by social media, how do we live as authentic followers of Jesus? We begin answering that question today by looking at Philippians 4 and considering the secret to contentment.
Gender Relations
This message deals with the final distinction the Apostle Paul made in Galatians 3:28, noting that in Christ we are neither male nor female. What does this mean and how might it apply to our lives?

Socioeconomic Relations
In his New Testament letter, James challenges us to consider whether or not we are likely to show favoritism to people based on their socioeconomic status. Do we give preference to those who have a higher place in society due to their finances? What does God really think about that? We’ll consider these questions and […]
Race Relations
There are many barriers we create among people when we focus on our differences instead of what unites us through our faith in Christ. Join us in a study of Galatians 3 and Luke 10 as we consider how we allow race to divide us when we need to come together most.
Making Disciples
One of the most famous statements of Jesus comes in Matthew 28, where He commissions His disciples (and therefore, us), to go and make disciples. But how? How do we use our stories to influence others? Join us for a three-step model that will lead us in to prayer, care, and sharing the gospel.

Ambassadors of Christ
As those who have been reconciled to God through Christ, we now have the privilege of being Christ’s ambassadors to a dying world. Join us as we consider using our personal stories with the story of the gospel to impact eternity.
Power to Overcome
What if we lived in the power of the Holy Spirit that lives inside of us? This is a question we try to address through a study of the first half of Acts 2.
Breathing New Life
The book of Ezekiel gives us many images of the Spirit of God moving among His people, including how He moves as breath, breathing new life into dead places.

Counselor
Join us for this introduction to our series and the study of John 16:5-15 as we get to know the Holy Spirit. In this passage, Jesus introduces His disciples to the Spirit as One who will serve them in the role of a counselor.
Love Mercy
We all take opportunities in our lives to demonstrate mercy, but is it the cry of our hearts? What is our attitude toward mercy? We’ll tackle these questions and more as we explore the second part of Micah 6:8.
Act Justly – The Pharisees
We being our new series, which is inspired by Micah 6:8, by understanding from the example of the Pharisees what it means to act justly. Like the Israelites of Micah’s day, the Pharisees were quick to offer religious gestures, but their hearts were not in it. God is calling us to something more.

Conflict Over Faith
The last message in our series on dealing with conflict in our relationships confronts the conflict we face as a Christian. In a society that is less accepting of biblical truth all the time, how do we handle it when conflict arises over our faith? 1 Peter 4 tells us just that.
Confronting Conflict
The early Christian church faced their share of conflict from all angles. Acts 15 details how they sorted through an internal conflict, which provides a great outline for us to follow as we handle conflict in our own relationships.
It Starts at Home
There is no place like home when it comes to relationships – home can bring out the best and the worst in all of us. In Colossians 3 we receive instructions on how to live as those who follow Christ in our homes, so that we can prevent and handle conflict as it comes.

Healing the People
One of the most repeated and revered miracles of Jesus is the way He healed people of their sickness. While we celebrate and invite the same healing in our own lives, we believe that physical healing also serves to point us to a deeper and more eternal series of healing that Jesus makes available to […]
Calming the Storms
We marvel when we read this story at how Jesus calmed the storm in the Sea of Galilee, but it was the storms brewing in the hearts of His disciples that He was most concerned with. Join us in this study of a miracle of Jesus from Mark 4:35-41.
Feeding the Multitudes
As it is with all of the miracles of Jesus, the feeding of the 5,000 is about so much more than the temporary good Jesus was able to do in the lives of the people. In John 6 Jesus offers us more than a free meal made from scratch, He offers us Himself – the […]
