Is God real?

Is everything in the Bible true?

Peace

Power

December 06, 2020 15:57

Purpose

November 29, 2020 16:07

It’s easy to get locked in on the daily stuff of life. There are things to do, people to see, kids (or pets!) to chase. But all the while, there’s this nagging sense that something’s missing. Where’s the purpose that can bring meaning to the daily grind?

Jesus Will Return

November 22, 2020 16:07

United by Love

November 01, 2020 16:08

Divided by Race

October 25, 2020 16:08

It’s hard to see what racial unity can look like when we’re surrounded by division. But God has this big plan for the church—that every nation, tribe, people, and language would one day gather together. We haven’t always done a great job of this, but could we take another step forward today?

Divided by Politics

October 18, 2020 16:08

The Relationships I Chose

September 20, 2020 16:07

The Healthy Habits I've Developed

September 13, 2020 16:07

Sometimes our bad habits don’t really seem that bad. And good habits sound like a good idea, but they’re so hard to get going. So why go through the effort of trading sleeping in for working out? Or scrolling our phone for spending time with God?

Jesus Skeptic - Part 2

Jesus Skeptic - Part 1

August 30, 2020 16:08
