If there is so much evil, suffering, and poverty around us can there be a God that is good? Is the God of the Bible good? What about all of the condemnation and Old Testament harshness? Could there be a God that actually cares about humanity? Join us as Greg seeks to answer the big question, "Is God Good?"
Do you ever wonder if Christianity is true? What about other religions? Have you ever been asked, "Why do you believe in that?" Join us as Blair seeks to answer some of these tough questions.
In the culture we live in today, there are so many distractions and so many things to keep us busy. Sometimes we may be called lazy for playing video games or our social media habits, but are we all really lazy... or just so busy being distracted that it seems like we are? Do we really get enough rest? Are we present with God and others? What does God want from us when it comes to being busy or lazy? Join us as Kristen dives into some of these questions in week three of our, "Mind the Gap" Series.
Often times anxiety and stress overwhelm, or maybe we feel out of control. Because we rely on our own ability, or external things to provide the peace we need... we are left wanting, in more duress than before. This week, Matt dives in to Proverbs chapter three and discusses the issue of trust. Who or what do you trust? Are you acting as god of your life? Join us as we dive in to the second week of our series, "Mind the Gap."
Our beliefs are the driving force behind our behaviors. Likewise, our behaviors reveal what we really believe. Proverbs seeks to step into that gap and help connect our behaviors and beliefs by speaking into our personal pursuit and practical application of the wisdom of God. In this series we hope to illuminate the personal and practical truths of scripture and give a framework to how we can apply them to our lives.Join us and your student(s) as we go through a Proverb a day for the month of October! We'll be posting each day on our social media account the Proverb for that day.
Words carry tremendous weight. Scripture even says that live and death are in the power of our words. What do your words convey to others? Are you a live giver or taker? Join us as we dive into our third message in the "Words" series.
Words are powerful. They have the ability to bless and curse, to give life or bring death, but what might be even more powerful is their ability to reveal. In a world where filtering is the norm and appearance is a way of life. It’s a gift that Words have the power to reveal what’s in our hearts and invite us into honest prayer with our God.
In a world that is now more connected than ever before, why is loneliness such a problem? Two out of every three people feel a deep sense of loneliness and disconnection... can there be more? Find out as we discuss loneliness and the hope that community brings, as we continue with our series, "HOPE."
Hope is powerful. Hope is shaping. It’s the hope of glory, Christ in us that should be shaping our lives above all else. As we grow toward Him and root ourselves in Him, He will shape who we are and the lives we live.
What do you anchor your hope in? It’s a question we all answer every day with our choices and actions, but one we rarely ask ourselves. This week, Blair kicks off our semester and our new series “Hope”. He begins in Colossians 1 talking about the hope of the gospel. The reality is that we live in a hopeless world with headlines of despair on a daily basis. So how do we live with the hope of the gospel and what exactly does that mean?

In our culture, we replace when things are worn out. When we don't agree, we rebel. This is our nature and this course of action that is most familiar to us.

Join us in our third week of the RE: series, as Matt discusses the idea of God's Renewing work.
