Wisdom is everywhere - but what KIND of wisdom is it? James takes us through this intriguing question in chapter 3 of his letter.
Do words matter? You bet they do! James gives us an important, and ever-so-practical lesson in the power of words and how Jesus can change them.
Faith and works. Does the Bible contradict itself on this topic? Let’s dig in to James 2:14-26 and see what God has to say.
We are in James chapter 2 as we take a closer look at the way Jesus changes the way we love.
The word “religion” has fallen out of favor, but pure and undefiled religion - the religion that James writes about - that is something different altogether.
What if following Jesus led you directly into the rising waters of a flood? This is a story of God’s faithfulness, a church’s perseverance, and a unique perspective of ministry that will impact anyone who wants to step out in faith and build the church.
James continues the power-packed list of what changes because of Jesus. In chapter 1, verses 9-18 we learnt he Jesus changes treasures and temptations.
As we begin the book of James, we realize that following Jesus means a lot more than checking a box. It changes something… EVERYTHING.
We’re talking about labor this Labor Day weekend. The labor of love that is a godly marriage. Join us as we get practical and life-changing wisdom from the book of 1 Peter.
It all comes down to this. The final chapter of the book of 1 Samuel. The climax (or anticlimax) to Saul’s reign.
Like Saul in chapter 28, David finds faces his low point in chapters 29&30. Will David fall apart as Saul had? Or will he find a better way to respond?
This may be one of the weirdest stories in the Bible. A seance in the dead of night, a death sentence, and a silent (almost) God. And there is so much for us to learn!

It’s deja vu all over again as David and Saul find themselves in a similar situation to chapter 24. But this time, what have they learned? It’s another musical journey as we look at 1 Samuel chapter 26: The Boys Are Back In Town (David’s Mixtape Vol. II)

It’s a musical journey through the heavy lessons of 1 Samuel 24 in this teaching called Born To Run (David’s Mixtape).
1 Samuel chapter 22 holds some difficult lessons for us even as we see a gripping story unfold: Drama at Ramah!
At the beginning of 1 Samuel 22, we see an important change in David. His repentance at the end of chapter 21 is certainly a big part of that, but we also being to see a “recipe for refuge” that God is bringing to this man after His own heart.
Our study this week takes us all over the pages of Scripture; from 1 Samuel, to the Psalms, to the Gospel of Luke. Along the way we will see the need for the simple, yet powerful practices of repentance and worship.
1 Samuel 19-20 is a turning point in the book - or, as our title implies, the “End of Part One.”
The book of Leviticus is one of the most skipped-over books in the Bible, yet there are deep and vital truths when we take a closer look. Pastor Brian walks us through the keys of UNLOCKING LEVITICUS.
The story of David and Goliath - a bedtime story about the little guy always winning, right? Maybe not - in fact, there’s a whole lot more to this true tale than the bedtime story we heard as a child!
We have so much to learn from 1 Samuel 16: 1-13 Identity, what we hear versus what we see, and the importance of Moms.
God brings King Saul a series of wake-up calls in 1 Samuel 14. And God has some wake-up calls for us to heed as well!

Guest teacher Eric Dicicco continues our “Kings of Hearts” series with 1 Samuel chapter 3 and a message entitled “From Silence To Significance".

The beginning of a new series through the book of First Samuel entitled “Kings of Hearts”. In this teaching we begin the book and find that right away, God is looking for a Game Changer.
As we launch into a new year, what if what we are called to in 2022 isn’t that “new” at all? Pastor Brian sets our course in this teaching called “Still Keeping It One Hundred”.

As we begin the book of 2 Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul zooms in on three areas: trials, eternity, and the centrality of Christ.
It's important top have an awareness of what's coming, but it is also important to know how to live in the meantime! As we study 1 Thessalonians 5 and realize that the way we live is the difference of night and day.
As we look at the end of 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, we examine what happens at the END. We’ll study Paul’s first thoughts on these final things and answer the question: “So what?”
In Matthew 5 Jesus begins to label His disciples. He calls them the salt of the earth and the light of the world. This study uncovers the depth of what those statements entail and challenges believers to fulfill their role here on earth.

This week we begin our brand new mini-series about the three things Jesus assumes we are doing.
As we finish the final chapters of the book of Judges, the strange story of overreaction and war from 3,000 years ago seems more modern than ever.
So what can we learn from one of the worst chapters in the Bible? It turns, out, quite a bit! Pastor Brian takes us through Judges 19.
Can a family really change history? In Judges 17 and 18 we learn that they can - for better or worse!
We come to the end of the sad story of Samson. But as Charles Spurgeon said, these stories are not for our imitation, but our instruction. And we have much to learn from Judges chapter 16!
In Judges 14 we begin to see a pattern in Samson’s life that led to a deadly numbness - and it’s a pattern that can impact us as well!
Pastor Brian takes us through Judges 13, which begins the story of Samson and shows us valuable insight into our marriages. We also take a look at the vision for who we are as a church.
Pride, pouting, and password pronunciation is at play as we study chapter 12 of the book of Judges in our series, “Unlikely Heroes”.
In one of the more debated sections of the Old Testament, we find a very modern story of Middle Eastern conflict and the dangers of applying cultural values to the worship of God.
In Judges chapter 9, “everyone dies and it’s awful.” But God still speaks through this dark chapter of Israel’s past!
God's Word includes the good and the bad when it comes to heroes. Today we'll take a "warts and all" look at the life of Gideon to see some important principles for life.

In Judges 6 fear, risk, and obedience collide as we get the origin story of an unlikely hero who is given a glimpse of how God sees him.
When God’s people are harshly oppressed, and leadership is missing in Israel, two moms lead the way to victory!
Judges 3 contains one of the weirdest (and grossest) stories in the Bible. But there is A LOT to learn from this strange (but true) tale.
Disobedience comes at a cost, we get (Spoiler Alert) the entire story of the book of Judges in chapter 2, and our first hero emerges.
Heroes emerge as the conquest continues, a questionable challenge turns out to be godly parenting, and Israel begins their downward spiral.
In Colossians 4, the Apostle Paul teaches us the importance of our three spheres of authentic influence: our prayers, our words to the world around us, and our friendships.
