Stories You Think You Know - The Greatest Opportunity

What if the thing standing between you and the life you were made for isn't sin — it's your to-do list? Jesus knew we'd never slam the door on God. We're too polite for that. We just reschedule him. Forever. Buried in Luke 14 is a parable that quietly exposes the most expensive habit most of us never notice — and an invitation that, against all odds, is still open for you right now.

Stories You Think You Know - Small, Hidden & Slow

You check your phone 205 times a day, hunting for proof that things are moving. But what if the most important growth in your life is happening in the dark, underground, completely beyond your monitoring? Jesus tells a story about a farmer who scatters seed — then sleeps. And the crop grows anyway. What you can't refresh, can't trend, and can't measure might be exactly where God is most at work.

You've probably heard the story of a farmer, four soils, different outcomes. Here's what you might have missed — the farmer throws seed everywhere. The path. The rocks. The thorns. He doesn't test the ground first or write anyone off. Turns out, that's the whole point. Your soil isn't your destiny. Hard ground breaks up. Thorns get cleared. Something alive is waiting to grow in you, and it doesn't require performance — just space.

Women in Leadership Seminar

What does the Bible actually say about women leading in the church — and does your answer depend on which passages you've been handed? Walking through Genesis, the Gospels, and the contested letters of Paul, this conversation doesn't dodge the hard texts. It digs into them. What emerges is a case rooted in original languages, historical context, and the full arc of Scripture — from Eden's partnership to new creation's restoration. Wherever you land, you'll leave with a richer understanding of the questions themselves.

This is Church - Deacons

What if the people quietly setting up chairs, paying for someone's groceries, or staying late to clean up aren't supporting the church's mission — they are the mission? Explore how one crisis in the earliest days of Christianity forged a structure so compelling that even its enemies couldn't replicate it, and what that means for every follower of Jesus today — title or not.
