Jesus never asked his disciples to go and be witnesses in the world in their own power. Instead he commanded them to wait for the power of the Holy Spirit to come upon them. He is the power for all Christian mission. Series: Spend & Be Spent Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: Acts 1:6-11
The Apostle Paul instructs the church to have the mind, or attitude, of Christ.

Series: Spend & Be Spent … Continue reading The Son’s Incarnational Step →

The wonder one experiences while beholding the beauty in creation or the revelation in worship has the power to point them to divine truths. Attention to God’s presence and activity make awareness possible, leading to worship. Series: Rhythms Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: Psalm 63:2-3
Essential to the Christian life is the rhythm of engaging with God’s word and listening for His voice to find healing and direction. The busyness and distractions of modern life, such as smartphones, stand in contrast to Jesus’ practice of retreating to solitude for communion with the Father, underscoring the need for stillness in a … Continue reading Word and Whisper →
Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman reveals true worship as the foundational rhythm for a fulfilling life, addressing her pursuit of satisfaction through relationships. It underscores how misguided beliefs, practices, and priorities—like the Samaritans’ syncretism or the Jews’ legalism—obstruct authentic, Christ-centered, Spirit-led worship rooted in biblical truth. By offering her living water to quench her … Continue reading Worship (Revisited) →
David’s experience of worship in the wilderness shows how turning to God in worship provides strength and abundance amidst life’s challenges.

It is a life-transforming experience to learn once and for all that Jesus doesn’t prepare the feast—Jesus is the feast. Only those who dine on him by faith will be satisfied. Series: Jesus Appearing Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: John 21:1-14
The church cannot be guilty of hiding its confession behind lock and key. There are too many people who need to hear a clear defense of the facts of the resurrection, but they also need Spirit-filled Christian lives to be the interpretive lens through which to understand it. Series: Jesus Appearing Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: … Continue reading Why Are You Still Here? →
In the already but not yet of Jesus’ movement from the grave to the sky, he presented himself to the eyes, ears, and heart of Mary Magdalene.

Life is filled with disappointing ends: Dreams that never come true; hopes and expectations that are never met. Sometimes it seems like all we ever do is strike out. But Easter declares that with God there are no dead ends or hopeless situations. The misery of Friday and the silence of Saturday only set the … Continue reading The Exalted Servant →

Speaker: Sean … Continue reading Simon of Cyrene →
As Jesus takes up his cross to head to his execution, he does so as the new Isaac, giving himself over to the Father’s will. He is truly God, but also truly, fully, perfectly, and substitutionally man. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Way of Sorrows Scripture: John 19:17
Jesus told the truth, not just about himself, but about everyone else, so much that they wanted to kill him for it. Your eternal destiny hinges entirely upon your attitude toward him. He is the light of the world. In his presence, you will either fall down to worship him or do everything you can … Continue reading True Truth →
The central exhortation of the book of Hosea is the call in 14:1 for Israel to “return” to the Lord. What follows is the substance, the content, of returning. It is more than mere sentiment. It is a decisive action of the will to confess sin, seek forgiveness, render the praise God is due, all … Continue reading The Way Home →
Hosea reminds us that the God who is a “betrayed spouse” is ultimately a loving Father who refuses to give up on or abandon the son he loves. He will do whatever it takes to bring him home again. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Unrequited Love. Scripture: Hosea 11:1-11
What is the hope for a people who are like a half-baked cake, an old man past his prime, a silly, witless dove, or a crooked bow? A shepherd who can lead them out of their faithlessness, giving them a heart undivided. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Unrequited Love. Scripture: Hosea 7:8-16
God wants to be known by you; to give life that lasts forever to you; to forgive your every sin; to heal everything that is broken; and to reconcile you to himself.

Through Hosea, God not only reveals his willingness to do whatever it takes to buy back his errant bride, but also whatever it takes to break the pattern of sin that keeps leading her astray. He heals his beloved’s past and makes possible new beginnings that the marriage might last forever. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Unrequited … Continue reading Of Raisin Cakes and Men →
The story of Hosea is not just Israel’s story, it is humanity’s story. All of us have sinned and turned our backs on God.

A short message for Covenant Renewal Sunday. Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-17
The true transformation we seek at the start of a new year can only be found in Christ as we submit ourselves totally to him as living sacrifices pleasing unto God. Speaker: Courtney White Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
What would it take for you to believe that God loves you? That he delights in you with wordless adoration? That he sings and rejoices over you from a place deep within his own heart? To know this with certainty, look no further than the manger at Christmas, which points directly to the cross. Speaker: … Continue reading Love →
The people of God are called to be a people who rejoice. We rejoice because Christ’s first Advent means Immanuel, God with us, but also because at his second Advent we will rest in safety, forever; our souls will not be left among the dead, but will be raised to everlasting life; and he will … Continue reading Joy →
In his son, Jesus Christ, God has withheld no spiritual blessing. Everything pronounced over Israel in Aaron’s blessing at the foot of Mt. Sinai can be found fully in him alone. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Numbers 6:22-27
The God of surprises calls his people from every generation to make their home in the center of his will, to be about his missional work in whatever “cities” they find themselves in, and to put their hope in the future he has in store for them. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Jeremiah 29:4-14
The call to the faithful on Christ the King Sunday is to relent in whatever pride, stubbornness, or focus on the things of the world we might have, and to lift our eyes to heaven, that we might behold with the eyes of faith the Most High God and see reality as it really is. … Continue reading The Most High God →

The wedding feast that God has prepared for his son at the end of time is open to all who will come, but only if they come in the right manner. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Roots Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14
We live in an evil, broken world—full of hardship, suffering, and injustice. But the Scriptures call those who belong to God to live (and pray) in faith—faith that says even though God may not do what is right in the timing or manner we demand, he will certainly do it in the end! Speaker: Sean … Continue reading The Parable of the Persistent Widow →
Jesus taught that one’s eternal fate is fixed at the point of death, and that fate is determined by choices made in this present life. How are you using every moment today in preparation for the future? God helps those who repent and call upon the name of the Lord to be saved. Speaker: Sean … Continue reading The Rich Man and Lazarus →
God is not the grouchy old man who offers salvation purely out of pity for the misery of man’s lostness.

He is a Father who has sent his Son and Spirit to rescue and to save … Continue reading The Lost and Found →
The teachings of Jesus come with a challenge: Will you listen and do what he says, or not. The difference between those answers is the difference between being wise and being foolish, between blessing and catastrophe, between life and death. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Roots Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27
Jesus used parables to communicate the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, which gave his listeners the opportunity to choose whether to draw nearer to him or withdraw further from him. The question is not whether truth is being revealed, but whether hearts are open to receiving it. Jesus didn’t come to offer a religious … Continue reading The Parable of the Sower →
This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ: That Christ died according to the Scriptures for sinners—even sinners like you and me; that Christ is risen from the dead—that he has forever broken the power of sin and death, that his victorious life can be yours today; that Christ will come again to finish what he … Continue reading The Sunday of All Sundays →
The work of Jesus provides both restoration for past failures and power for future boldness. The work of the disciple is not to try harder or dig deeper, but to surrender over in watchful prayer to the will and work of God. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Upside Down Kingdom Scripture: Matthew 26:69-75
God is in control of human history. He calls men and women to look to Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, for salvation. Jesus invites us to join him in his commitment to the will and word of God. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Upside Down Kingdom Scripture: Matthew 26:47-56
Jesus shows us what true humanity looks like. He freely said “yes” to God’s divine “no,” and the result of that decision changed everything. He invites all people, not just to accept his atoning sacrifice, but to make his own God-united humanity our own, that by his work in our hearts we would “measure up … Continue reading The Divine “No” →
Jesus’ purpose in Jerusalem did not meet anyone’s expectations or demands, so within just a matter of days the very voices that praised him fell silent and the ones shaken by his arrival called for his execution. What is our response to his arrival, presence, and self-revelation in our own lives? Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Upside … Continue reading The Triumphal Approach →
A Messiah from Nazareth would be nothing less than a national embarrassment to his people. But Matthew is not embarrassed about it at all. He wants us to see this clearly. Jesus didn’t come from where anyone expected him to come. He didn’t come in the way anyone expected him to come. He may not … Continue reading The Embarrassing Messiah →
Despite the tragedy we see in the world around us, we can be certain that God is at work to bring renewal and restoration. That work is always centered on his Son, Jesus Christ, who is the faithful deliverer that leads his people into the deep, covenantal love of the Father; whose sonship is both … Continue reading Deliverer and Delivered →
The wise men didn’t see it all, but they saw enough. While everyone else was “deeply disturbed” by the news of the messiah’s birth, the wise men seek him, rejoice upon finding him, worship him, and offer him their treasures. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Treasures Scripture: Matthew 2:9-12
The arrival of the Messiah resulted in the formation of two camps: one full of praise and welcome, the other full of hatred and opposition. You and I have the opportunity to pick which camp we belong to, but choose wisely! Though receiving Jesus is risky and at time uncomfortable and requires you to surrender … Continue reading Herod the Not So Great →
The wisdom of the magi was not in their expertise in astrology, philosophy, or the magical arts, but in their awareness of, faith in, and obedience to the truth of the Scriptures. They didn’t follow a star; they followed the word of God. Their journey was not to a place, but to a person. Their … Continue reading Wise Men →
Jesus Christ, the Son of Mary, the babe of Christmas, is the Stone upon which you can build your life; the Son who offers peace between God and man; the Light that reveals and transforms our darkness; and the King of kings and Lord of all lords—the very promise and power and presence of God. … Continue reading The Reign of God →
How does God shine light into darkness? How does he bring hope to despair? How is his grace made available to man? It is all offered exclusively in “the child who is born to us, the Son who is given to us.” God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Speaker: Sean Scribner … Continue reading The Light of God →
The greatest gift of all time presents the greatest crisis of all time: Will you, or will you not, receive him? Many will not, and for them there will only ever be trouble and anguish and dark despair. But for those that do—who set him apart in their hearts and build their lives upon the … Continue reading The Crisis of God →
The sign of God at Christmas means that Yahweh himself delivers and saves. It means that he keeps his promises and is true to his word. To the hard-hearted, the coming of Immanuel portends certain doom. But to the faithful, who welcome and receive him in their weakness and finitude, the coming of Immanuel signifies … Continue reading The Sign of God →
Where do you turn when the going gets tough? Turn to Jesus Christ, the one who suffered for you. He has entered into the depths of the human condition, conquered our greatest enemies, and freely shares the plunders of his grace. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 30
Who better to turn to when times are dark than the one who alone has the power to transform darkness into light! Jesus Christ offers what you and I need most: Not information or knowledge of the future, or the means to control nature or fate, but intimacy and fellowship and communion with the living … Continue reading Into the Darkness →
The story of David and Goliath teaches us that having God and his word at the center of your life changes the calculus entirely. What matters is not having instruments of human power by your side, but the one true God of Israel who saves. In his eyes, the real heroes who make a difference … Continue reading For the Glory of God Alone →
At our time of deepest despair, the word of God comes to remind us that God is in control. He has chosen his Anointed One, and his plans and purposes can be trusted. It is up to the people of God to choose to trust him. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 16:1-13
Yahweh is the kind of God who invites people into his plans and purposes. As Saul is revealed to be a failure as king, hope still remains. God will raise up another, a man after his own heart, from whom will come the King of all Kings! Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 13:7b-14
Despite Israel’s hardness of heart, God was determined to make a people for himself. He is looking for those who will put away all their substitutes and seek not just his will, but God himself. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 8
God’s voice has not gone silent, even amidst our own wicked generation. He still deals patiently with people and speaks powerfully through his word—the word entrusted to his church that has been given a window of opportunity to proclaim it to the world. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices Scripture: I Samuel 3:1-14
The way God works in the life of the individual reflects the tendency of his ways. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No situation is too big for him. No person is too small for him. His providential purposes not only incorporate, but often rest upon, hopeless, impossible situations. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Choices … Continue reading The Trial of One is the Salvation of Many →
All throughout Luke, the crowds are seeking out Jesus, but on the threshold of Jerusalem Jesus declares that the Son of Man has come to seek out us.

On the outskirts of Jericho, the one who couldn’t see at all was the one who saw Jesus best. Like him, as oasis of grace is available to all who look to Jesus in faith and see him for who he really is. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke 18:35-43
The exasperation of Jesus is not the result of our inability, limitation, or need, but our unbelief, particularly when we have already experienced his grace. He has come to reveal himself and work in deeper ways than our own small minds can imagine, and he asks for us to truly listen to him and believe … Continue reading Holy Exasperation →
The touch of Jesus has the power to heal what is truly broken, to affirm the existence and value of another, and to grant peace to those made sons and daughters of God by grace. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke 8:42-48
Jesus knows the true content of each person’s heart. He has descended right into the midst of our brokenness and need. He makes himself known in ways that result in our healing and forgiveness. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke 5:17-26
Everywhere he went, the crowds were drawn to Jesus for a reason. For at least one woman, it was the invitation to come to him just as she was. He offers the same to you. Come to him, have faith, and receive the peace and blessing of God. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Kingdom Come Scripture: Luke … Continue reading True Welcome →

Speaker: Richard Meservey Series: Building Blocks of Life Scripture: I Corinthians 1:30
The New Testament does not offer any sort of mechanical, automatic, inevitable perseverance, but there is keeping power in the love and grace of God that is more than sufficient to bring us through, from beginning to end. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Foretaste Scripture: Romans 8:28-39
A life of holiness is one that is empowered by the indwelling presence of God, that crucifies the flesh and its sinful deeds, and assures the mutual belonging of the Father and his children. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Foretaste Scripture: Romans 8:9-17a
Is the Bible’s expected norm for the Christian experience the “man” of Romans 7 or the life in the Spirit of Romans 8? Good theology and exegesis would say the latter, for if we belong to Christ Jesus there is “now” no condemnation “and” the Spirit gives us power over sin, today. Speaker: Sean Scribner … Continue reading Life in the Spirit, Part 1 →
God longs for the glorious day of consummation along with creation and the church. He has given us his Son and his Spirit to associate with our sufferings, intercede on our behalf, and help us in our weakness. Be eager, but be patient. Glory is coming.

The narrow road and gate that leads to life demand we renounce all dependance upon anything of this world and cling only to Jesus. He is not merely the gatekeeper; he is the gate itself. He is the only way to access the Kingdom of God with all of its blessings and benefits. Speaker: Sean … Continue reading The Narrow Door →
The blood of the lamb, sacrificially poured out for another, was the life of Israel. All the blood spilled for generations pointed to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, whose life is released for all who have faith in him. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Door to Life Scripture: Exodus 12:13
The universal problem of sinful man is that he makes himself his own standard of right and wrong, seeks to indulge in and satisfy whatever impulses or cravings he has, and will use others in order to satisfy or save his own skin. Jesus Christ is the solution to that problem. He is only ever … Continue reading The Scandalous Door →
The message of hope in the story of Noah is that even in the fury of God’s wrath through the raging waters of the flood, one can see the depths of his divine mercy and compassion.

We are living in hard times, but take heart: Jude’s letter may be marked by the presence of passion, but it is also marked by the absence of panic.

To turn from the Scriptures is to turn from God himself. Therefore, the place the Bible holds among the hierarchies of authority in your life has very real implications for your eternal destiny. Salvation itself rests upon the integrity of the gospel’s truth and its transforming impact upon your life. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Fake … Continue reading The True Gospel →
The greatest threat to the church today is not persecution of the faith from without, but perversion of the faith within. Only belief in the Christ of the Scriptures and perseverance in the truth of the good news of God has the power to save. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Fake News Scripture: Jude 3-4
We live in an age of disinformation. But there is one place that you can go to for Truth—a place that the world, and even many who call themselves Christians, will tell you cannot be trusted. It is the Word of God, for the people of God. Thanks be to God! Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The … Continue reading Contending for the Faith →
The pathway to attaining unity in faith and maturity in holiness begins with deeper intimacy with the Body of Christ. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Life Groups Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-16
Connecting has always been an essential component of life for the church of Jesus Christ, and to the author of Hebrews it is a matter of necessity and urgency. We must be very intentional to not give up meeting so that we can actively point one another to the all-sufficiency of Christ and the magnitude … Continue reading Connecting →
Through the fellowship of a local church body, the cultivation of Christian attitudes, and the active presence of Christ, the Apostle Paul had learned the secret of true contentment in all things, a model for the people of God in every time and situation. Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: Philippians 4:10-20
What sets Christianity apart from all the religions of the world? The answer is Jesus. He is God with us, as us, for us, and he wants to be in us. He has come to make God personally known and to invite us into his Family. Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: John 1:1
Jesus is present with his church today, and he is coming to make right every wrong tomorrow. And until that day and hour which nobody knows, he commands us to fix our eyes on the future in such a way that it impacts every decision we make in the present. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The End. … Continue reading When Will All This Happen? →
Karl Bowden shares a message from II Peter 3 on the type of holy life Christians should live in light of the Lord’s return. Speaker: Karl Bowden Series: The End. Scripture: II Peter 3
The world today is increasingly hostile to its creator and the truth of his word. But the more the world resists the truth, the more the church must be determined to stand upon it, especially in light of the coming return of Christ and the judgment that he brings. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The End. Scripture: … Continue reading A Time is Coming →
The ultimate purpose for missional living, giving, and going is not the alleviation of human suffering, the fight for real justice in society, or even the rescue of souls from an eternity in Hell. Those purposes, however Biblical, noble, and right are subordinate to the even higher purpose of the glory and honor of Christ, … Continue reading For the Glory of God →
There is an extremely low probability that being the type of missional person God commands you to be will result in you giving up your life in death. But there is a 100% guarantee that being the missional type of person God commands you to be will require you to give up your life in … Continue reading The Promise of Better Things →
To complete what is lacking in the afflictions of Jesus means embodying the self-giving love of Christ to the world—to be spent, to give ourselves away, to be broken bread and poured out wine in person to those who need it. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Destinations Scripture: Colossians 1:23b-29
God is love. It is essential to his nature. From it he created the world, gave himself to redeem it, and makes room in his heart for you. As we think about “missions” or “outreach,” none of it makes any ultimate sense, and there is no real driving force behind it—it is even impossible to … Continue reading The Love of God in the Soul of Man →
Missionary to Columbia, Jeannine Brabon, shares a message for the 2022 EMC Missions Conference.
For the Christian, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is more than a religious belief. It is an historical event upon which all of life can be built with confidence. If Jesus rose from the dead, then all the Scriptures can be trusted. It takes more faith to reject the resurrection than to accept it. Speaker: … Continue reading True →
You don’t have to pick up your Bible and wonder whether or not what you are reading was what was actually inspired and written. It is God’s word for you today, and it can be trusted. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Good Book Scripture: II Peter 3:15-17
Revelation is personal, historical, and scriptural. It is also canonical. God wants to be known and is knowable. The canon of scripture ensures he is knowable to every generation. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Good Book Scripture: Matthew 22:29
God has revealed himself in the world, to the world. Through words, deeds, and the incarnation itself, God has made himself known. The record of his revelation has come to us in the form of the inspired Scriptures. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Good Book Scripture: II Timothy 3:14-17
The authentication of true Christian spirituality is when the Holy Spirit’s operation and influence in your life is manifested through his gifts, his services, and his energies to the glory of Christ and the benefit of his body.

Your time in this life as a Christian is not meant to be spent living for yourself, playing it safe on the sidelines.

Speaker: … Continue reading Faithful With Investments →
With his dying breath, Jesus made provision for those who drew near—provision that took shape in the form of persons given to one another. To be saved is to be part of a family, and the expression of that reality by necessity occurs within a localized gathering of people with deep, mutual, interdependent ties of … Continue reading Given to One Another →
God’s mysterious plan from before the beginning of time to reconcile people to himself and one another has been entrusted to the church. It is in the corporate gathering of God’s people where the message of people reconciled to one another is enfleshed. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: We Over Me Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-13
Suffering is not incompatible with blessing, but is actually an opportunity for both blessing and witness. The people of God are called to fear nothing but God and be a bold, audible, and visual witness for Jesus. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Influencers Scripture: I Peter 3:13-17
The apostle Paul shared all possible truth with all possible people in all possible ways—the whole gospel to the whole region with his whole strength. This is the type of influencer you and I are called to be. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Influencers Scripture: I Corinthians 9:19-23
The lesson of the beatitudes is that those who embody the values of God’s Kingdom will be blessed. But Jesus goes on to insist that those who are blessed must be agents of change in a world that is dying and in darkness, bringing glory and honor to God. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Influencers Scripture: Matthew … Continue reading Salt and Light →
In this one vision, John is seeing what has been, what is, and what is to come.

The salvation offered by God is more than a transaction done for us, but the whole life of God offered to us and in us. Justification, regeneration, sanctification, holiness, new life—these are all the things the Father does for us and in us through his Son and Spirit. We are more than justified sinners. We … Continue reading Children of the Father →
At creation, the self-sufficient, 3-in-1 God, out of love, made room within himself for others who are not himself. Through the Son and by the Holy Spirit, the Father is working to restore that which has been lost. When we, by faith, say yes to his gracious offer of salvation, we’re not getting some impersonal … Continue reading A Triune Salvation →
Peter’s message to a people undergoing adversity is to not allow those things to rob them of their joy or distort their perspective. Remember all God has done for you.

Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Citronella … Continue reading The Person Behind the Mask →
Because we are all works in progress, we who make up the church can’t expect to always agree on things. For good-willed people who agree on the essentials, the question isn’t if differences and disagreements will arise, but when—and when they do, how will they be handled? Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Citronella Church Scripture: Acts 15:36-41
The Bible is not ignorant of the issues that trouble human relationships, nor is it dismissive of the types of failures the church is capable of. God’s word provides everything we need to be all we are called to be: a community where truth in love reigns supreme. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Citronella Church Scripture: Acts … Continue reading A Community of Distrust →
That Jesus is the resurrection and the life means that your relationship to him today will determine your experience of eternity tomorrow.

As the True Vine, Jesus Christ is the true and better Israel, the one producing fruit his Father the Vinedresser desires. He is the one who was obedient unto death.

Jesus is the only way to the Father because he is the Truth of God and the Life of God in the flesh. He saves by who he is and all that he does, and there is no other way to heaven than through him. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: I Am Scripture: John 14:1-6
There is no safer, more secure, more rich or satisfying life than life as part of the flock of Jesus.

The exhortation of the scriptures is to entrust our hearts to Jesus, who tends, feeds, and secures his flock through devoted undershepherds who rightly divide the word of truth, but also rightly live it day in and day out. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: I Am Scripture: John 10:1-5
Jesus Christ is God’s special revelation, unique in how he alone reveals and exposes both the truth about God and the truth about us. He is God’s personal, saving presence in action, and he invites all who live in darkness to come to him, walk in the light he is and provides, and be transformed … Continue reading The Light of the World →
The point of the sign and reenactment and ensuing discussion of the feeding of the multitudes is not that Jesus provides food, but that Jesus IS food.

For people of faith living in this broken world, the whole story of Lazarus teaches that it’s not just the things Jesus does that reveal his heart, but sometimes it’s the things he doesn’t do.

Missionary guest, Bill Allshouse, shares God’s word about divine encounters from the story of Philip in Acts 8.
Worship is more than just showing up on Sunday morning and singing a few songs. It involves the totality of the whole person presented unto God as a living sacrifice. This is what we were created to be and to do. Speaker: Aaron Meservey Series: The Way to Worship Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
You and I can never come to God for healing and restoration until we acknowledge and accept our need for healing and restoration. The Bible provides the diagnosis of our problem, as well as the prescription for the cure, and it begins with genuine and sincere lament leading to repentance and faith. Speaker: Sean Scribner … Continue reading Worship’s Restoration →
You were created to know God and to worship and delight in God. Jesus Christ is the only one who makes God known and only through him can God be worshipped and enjoyed.

The apostle Paul did not believe in the inevitability of perseverance. It is possible to be led astray, even for Christians living out the gospel.

If the church is at the heart of all God’s plans for human history and the very meaning of the gospel itself, should it not also be central to the lives of those who claim to belong to Jesus Christ? Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: When God Shows Up Scripture: Acts 2:1
The expectant belief of the apostles, grounded in the commands and promises of Christ, resulted in prayer that persevered. The expectant people of God pray with persistence, unity, and confidence in Jesus. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: When God Shows Up Scripture: Acts 1:9-26
Jesus told his disciples to go and wait before they go out. Maybe he needed to see obedience in the small things before calling them to the big things. Could the same be true of us? Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: When God Shows Up Scripture: Acts 1:1-8
In Moses, we see one whose desire was for the honor, ways, presence, and glory of God. In Christ, we see all those desires being fulfilled to the greatest degree.
