Luke 24

On Resurrection Sunday, we rejoice because we know that Jesus is victorious over sin and death. Not only that, but He has promised to never leave us or forsake us! On this Resurrection Sunday, we celebrated Jesus’ victory by looking at Luke 24 and considered the ways He showed us that He would always with us.

The Gospel of Mark 15:1-39

In the book of Hebrews, we're encouraged to “consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.” On Good Friday, we took time to consider Jesus and all that He went through before and on the cross in our place so that we could have peace with God forever.

Romans 16:1-27

In Romans 16, Pastor Paul concludes his letter to the Roman church with some of his co-laborers in Christ in mind—“the excellent ones” (Psalm 16:3). In our 50th and final study in Romans, we reviewed the names of these excellent ones that Paul called out and appreciated the qualities they demonstrated as they served the Lord. 

Romans 15:1-33

God has given us two important tools to minister to one another—the word and prayer. There is no more powerful combination for the lives of the ones we love than the ministry of the word and prayer. The Apostle Paul encourages us to wield them wisely as he demonstrates their proper use in Romans 15.

Romans 14:1-23

Psalm 77

When we’re faced with trouble and despair, what do we do? When we can’t sleep and our minds are filled with questions, where do we turn? In times of distress, we have a choice—we can focus on our troubles, or we can seek the Lord.

Romans 13:8-14

Romans 13:1-7

God has established 3 institutions: the family, the church, and the government. There are some roles and responsibilities God has given to one that the others should not be involved in. When we study the Bible in context, we gain a better understanding of the specific roles and responsibilities the family, the church, and the government have in a healthy society.

Guest Speaker Bill Corcoran

Throughout scripture, we see that when there is something to be done, leaders arise who step out with courageous faithfulness to it. Guest speaker Bill Corcoran encourages all of us to be godly leaders in the places God has called us to work.

Romans 12:15-21

With the love of Christ, we can bless our enemies and love those who treat us poorly. In this second portion of Romans 12, the Apostle Paul encourages us to love our enemies with the courage available to us in Christ and reminds us of our purpose to lead our enemies to Jesus.

Romans 12:14

Romans 12:9-13

Romans 12:9-21 contains approximately 30 exhortations and applications—practical ways we can practice being the kind of friend to others that Jesus has been to us. Just consider what a good friend we have in Jesus and how we can be that kind of a friend to those around us.

Romans 12:3-8

Romans 12:1-2

In most letters he wrote, the Apostle Paul spent half the letter addressing doctrine and half the letter addressing application. The letter to the Romans had a little more doctrine than application, but that doesn’t make the application any less intense. Romans 12 begins the application portion of this letter as we ask two questions of the Lord: Who are you? What do You want me to do?

Romans 11:6-36

Romans 11 is full of the goodness and severity of our God. The Apostle Paul provides examples and evidence from scripture that God still has a plan for Israel. But before Paul gets into that, he makes an emphatic and enlightening statement about how we are saved: Salvation is either all by your own works, or all by God’s amazing grace.

Vision Sunday 2023

On the first Sunday of every year, we review the history, vision, purpose, and practice of Refuge so that we can confidently answer these questions: What are we doing? Why are we doing it? What does it look like? We turn to the Bible to find the answers to those important questions so we can understand God’s vision for His church.

John 1

The birth story of Jesus in the Gospel of John isn’t easy to find. Unlike Matthew, there’s no list of names. Unlike Luke, there’s no heavenly host addressing shepherds. That’s because John highlighted the deity of Jesus—how Jesus is God.

Luke 2:1-20

Luke 2 may be a familiar text. But as we work and worship our way through the word from God that never changes, by the power of the Holy Spirit we will change as we preserve, ponder, and proclaim the indescribable gift of God’s Son!
