Jesus' call to his first disciples was simple: Come, follow Me. Today, that same invitation extends to each of us. So, how will you answer? Baptism in water is a bold proclamation to everyone that we are committed to following Jesus. It symbolizes our association with His death, burial, and resurrection; it's through His sacrifice that we're restored to relationship with God and released into a life of complete freedom. Join us as we celebrate with those who are taking this next step in their faith journey!
Sometimes the questions raised by ancient prophecies can cause anxiety and fear. When the nations march against Israel, what will occur? Will America play a role? How does it end? Join us as Pastor Jon brings comfort and clarity to these prophetic words from Ezekiel.
2,500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel named the nations that would someday unite against Israel. Who are they? Are we seeing this unfold today? Come and join us as Pastor Jon unlocks some of the truths from this Old Testament prophecy.
When someone calls you narrow-minded, it's rarely a compliment. In our culture, being labeled as narrow-minded suggests you're intolerant, judgmental, or closed to new ideas. But what if Jesus Himself calls us to be narrow-minded - at least in one crucial area of life? In Matthew 7:13-29, which is the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents us with a series of stark contrasts: two gates, two prophets, two disciples, two foundations. And at the heart of it all is an invitation to embrace the kind of narrow-mindedness that leads to life. So, on Family Ministries Sunday, come and jo
Throughout history, Jesus has often worked powerfully through the faith-filled generosity of just a few. These Gospel patrons have partnered with Christian leaders to bring the message of Jesus around the world. And that method continues. So, what might Jesus do in our day through a generation of people who are ready to support their leaders—leaders who will build the church, bless the world, and fulfill the Great Commission? Come and hear from John Rinehart as he shares with us about the value of Gospel patrons today.
When you think about your feelings towards God, what usually comes to your mind first? Is it a happy and pleasant feeling, or are you worried and scared? The most overlooked book of the Bible opens with a description of God that, depending on who you are, is either terrifying or comforting. This Sunday, let's learn together about these two sides of God's nature. Which side you experience is up to you.
What does God do with our sin? Forgive? Yes. But, according to the book of Micah, he does something more with it than we often realize. Come and join us as we learn about what God actually does with our sin. Trust us, it's good news.
What if one of the most destructive sins is the one we don't even know we have? The book of Obadiah exposes a sin so sneaky that most of us walk in it without ever realizing it. Let's learn about this pesky sin and how we can overcome it.
Come celebrate our local ministry partners.
We live in a world with more voices and more access to information than any generation before us. Yet, many of us are still empty. Could it be that we're looking in the wrong place? Come and join us as we discover what God has to say about what to look for and where to find it.
Can you ever wander so far from God that you reach a point of no return? Is there a limit to His patience with us? Many of us fear we may have reached that limit. Join us as we unpack the book of Joel and discover two words that just might change everything.
Go to church. Check. Sing loudly. Check. Give generously. Check. When it comes to religion, we're pretty good at checking the boxes. But what if God is less impressed with our religious activity than we think? Let's open the book of Hosea and find out what God actually wants from us.
