It is easy for us to love those who are easy to love. But this is easy for everyone to do. Jesus has called us to a higher standard. Find out what loving our enemies, or those who are harder to love, really looks like.
God desires that we as believers stand out from what the world accepts as normal. We are to love others in a way that reflects the heart of Christ. Join us as we discover what this looks like.
If we are to raise our children the way God desires and expects us to, then we will be doing things quite differently than how the world says we are to raise our kids. Join us as we examine what it means to raise our children in a godly home and the blessings that follow when we do so.
Join us as we look at what it means to raise our children in a godly way, and to lead our families with reverence for Christ.

Many times Christians can feel like Satan and evil are winning in their lives. Join us as we examine what we are to do when we encounter times like these.
As Christians, we must be aware of those things that can rob our peace. We also must recognize that there is only one way to experience true peace. Join us as we discover what this way is.

As Christians, there may be times when we are questioned why we believe what we believe. We need to be prepared for such times. Join us as we look at some of the key points we must know about our Bible and our faith.
God so desires that we not only hear the Word, but that we act upon it. Join us as we look at what it means to allow the Word of God to take deep root in our lives in order that His goodness and mercy may spill over into the lives of others.
Paul writes to the church at Colossae that they are to let the Word of Christ dwell in them richly. Join us as we examine what this looks like and what it means to let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Join us as we examine what it looks like to be a good tree which produces good fruit for the Kingdom of God.
Jesus teaches us that we are to love our enemies and others. This can be quite difficult to do since it is the complete opposite of what the world says we should do. Join us as we examine what we must do in order to love our enemies the way Christ loves them.
It is clear that Jesus wants us to live differently than the world says we should live. One of the ways He does this is by teaching that we need to love our enemies. Join us as we examine what the definition of an enemy really is and what Jesus means when He tells us to love them.
For years people have asked why Jesus chose the twelve disciples that He did. Surely there were others who were more qualified, at least in their own eyes. Examine with us what traits Christ is looking for in those who choose to follow Him.
God desires to make each one of us new in Him. Join us as we examine what it means to be made new in Christ.
Jesus had no problem spending time with the outcasts, the marginalized, and those who everyone else thought were unclean. If this is how Jesus lived, then shouldn't we be more like Him, too?
What does it look like when faith is a verb and not just a noun? Join us as we examine what the Bible says our faith should look like to the world around us.
The story of Jesus calling His first disciples is pretty remarkable. These men that Jesus chose had a choice to make: accumulate considerable amounts of money for the amount of fish that Jesus just allowed them to catch, or leave everything and follow Him. What might Jesus be calling you to leave behind?
Sometimes in order to follow the will of God for our lives, we need to say "No" to things that are also good and pleasing to the Lord. We must follow the example Jesus gave us of being in communion with God the Father every day so that we can hear and follow His leading.

As we celebrate Father's Day, join us as we look at what it means to be a godly father, the way God designed us to be.
There is a difference between growing in knowledge and growing in wisdom. Look with us at what it means to follow Jesus' example of how to grow in wisdom.
Parenting is a task that is not for the faint of heart. Anyone who becomes a parent for the first time faces a lot of questions and uncertainties about what lies in store for them and their child. Imagine how much more nervous and scared Mary and Joseph must have been, seeing that they were just teenagers and they would be the parents of the Son of God. Examine with us how Mary and Joseph raised their Son, Jesus, and how this can have application in our lives today.
At the beginning of his gospel, Luke states that he is writing to a friend named Theophilus. This man was a friend of Luke's and Luke wanted to tell him everything he knew about Jesus Christ. Join us as we examine what it means to know Jesus personally.
The story of Hagar can teach us a lot about the character of God. Even when we think we are unworthy, forgotten, or unloved, God hears the cries of the brokenhearted. He desires to bring us out of darkness and into His glorious light. Join us as we discover what it means to recover from a broken heart.
The heart of God is focused on the mission of reaching, reconciling, restoring and being in relationship with people created in His image. Join us as we examine what it means to be a part of God's mission in the world.
Recognizing that we are all sinful by nature and in need of a Savior requires humility. When we humbly come to the throne of God and ask for forgiveness of our sins and seek a relationship with Him, He meets us where we are and gives us new life.
God desires to have an intimate relationship with everyone on earth. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sins, and to draw us closer to Him. Once we discover this, we need to take a stand on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and learn what it means to become a child of the One True King.
Jesus has a lot to teach us about what it means to have peace while in the midst of difficult circumstances. This peace comes from God alone, and we must humble ourselves and receive this free gift.
God desires for everyone to come into a personal and loving relationship with Him. It is our responsibility as Christian believers to reach out to the unsaved and to not make it difficult for them to be a part of the family of God, or to understand the Gospel message.
The thief that was crucified next to Jesus reminds us that it's never too late to admit our failures and accept Jesus as our personal Savior. May we all humbly come to the cross just as the thief did.
We all experience tests, trials, and troubles. But knowing that our Savior understands our pain and is with us in the midst of it can make all the difference.
It is easy for us to only spend time with people who are like us, who share similar interests and come from similar backgrounds. But God has called us to spread His love to the whole world, not just to people who are like us. Join us as we listen to a guest speaker, Pastor Larry Dodson, share the importance of living in unity with our brothers and sisters in the faith.
God is love, and He has designed us to be loving people as well. We must learn from God what love is and how to love others, especially our spouses. Our love should be evident in our actions and not only our words.
We all face disappointments in life. Jesus teaches us how we are to deal with disappointment, whether large or small.
As the Church we are called to make disciples and to bring the love of Jesus to our communities and to the world at large. Join us as we examine what it means and what it looks like to do this.

The Thief will come to steal, kill and destroy you. But if you have the Peace of God in your heart, there is nothing the thief can do to you.
Mary was betrothed to marry Joseph, and she probably had a plan for what her life would look like. And then the angel visited her and told her she would give birth to a Son out of wedlock. God turned Mary's plan upside-down, but Mary chose joy and humbly accepted God's plan for her life.
When we look at the Christmas story from Mary's perspective, we understand how amazing it really is that Jesus came into this world as a baby boy. God loves us so much that He sent His Son into our world to save us.
As we begin the Advent series, we look at the gifts that God has given us. This week we look at the gift of hope that we have in Jesus Christ.
We must be careful not to create idols out of anything. If anything becomes more important to us than God, then it is an idol. This was not only a problem in the Old Testament, but it continues to be a problem today as well.

The followers of Jesus asked Him to teach them how to pray. What we know today as the "Lord's Prayer" is so much more than something top memorize. It is a model of how we are to respond to God.
God is at work all around us and even through us. Sometimes we just need to stop and take notice of what He wants to get done and make ourselves available to Him.
