Romans 12:2 – Don’t Conform, Be Transformed
If we are to truly surrender ourselves to God as living sacrifices, as verse 1 of Romans 12 commands us to, then it will start by us not conforming to this world or the flesh and being transformed by the Spirit through the renewing of our minds.

Ephesians 6:10-20 – The Armor of God

Mark 4:10-12 – Spiritual Blindness
Mark recorded some difficult words from Jesus that He used to explain why He spoke in parables, words that might mislead us to a misrepresentation of Jesus if we don’t look past the surface and get to the heart of our Lord. Join us as we learn how to dig deeper and then do so, […]
Genesis 19 – Sodom and Gomorrah

Judges 13-16 – Samson

Proverbs: Caring for Others

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Not Our Understanding
In order for us to actually benefit from the wisdom the Proverbs offer us, we need to make sure our hearts are ready to receive that wisdom and apply it to our lives. The reminders in Proverbs 3 help us get to that place where we are ready to lean on God’s understanding instead of […]

Proverbs 4 – Solomon and the Importance of Wisdom

Acts 2:1-21 – Receiving the Holy Spirit

Luke 18:9-14 – The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
Jesus told parables, in part, to help people understand what is necessary for entrance into the Kingdom of God. One of the greatest obstacles to that entrance is pride, which can be only cured by humility. Hear from Jesus examples of pride and humility and allow the Lord to search your heart as we strive […]
Matthew 13:44-46 – Finding Treasure at Easter
As we start a new series studying the parables of Jesus, we begin by thinking about the Kingdom of God like a hidden treasure. Once found, this treasure is worth giving up everything else we have in order to keep. This reminds us of Easter because if we want to have new, resurrection life, we […]
