Why We Pray

Ephesus And Exorcism

When a demon has a foothold in a life, do exorcisms work? Seven brothers found out the hard way when they tried to use Jesus' name like a lucky charm in their exorcism — and ended up beaten and stripped naked. Journey to Ephesus, the witchcraft capital of the Roman world, and discover the only power that always sends demons running.

From Judaism To Jesus - Lives In Transition

Knowing about Jesus isn't the same as trusting in him. And being a Christian doesn't always mean we've left every old pattern behind. In Acts 18–19, we meet three very different people — Paul, Apollos, and twelve disciples of John the Baptist — all standing at a turning point in their faith. Their stories show us what God's next step looks like, whether you're a seeker getting close to Jesus or a believer ready to grow into more of who he's called you to be.

Corinth - Sin City

Have you ever felt like you had nothing left? That is exactly where the apostle Paul found himself when he arrived in Corinth — alone, exhausted, and nearly broken after a brutal stretch of beatings, death threats, and disappointing results. Corinth was the most morally corrupt city in the ancient world. If anyone felt like quitting, it was Paul. In this message, we walk through four ways God encouraged a desperately discouraged Paul — and how God encourages us the same way today. Through unexpected friendships, surprising spiritual fruit, a personal word from God, and even the backfiring plans of his enemies, Paul discovered that God shows up in our darkest moments in ways we never see coming. If you are discouraged, this message is for you.

The Importance Of The Church

How can we actively be the church for one another, for our community? Unlike our individualistic society, we are called to do faith together and to be strengthened by other believers. So, what does it really look like to live out your life as the body of Christ? Let's take insight into 1 Corinthians for the answer.

Athens - Meet The Unknown God

Our neighbors don't know the Bible. They don't know about sin. They don't know who Jesus is or why he matters. So how do you even begin to tell them? Paul faced that exact challenge when he walked into Athens — one of the most sophisticated, religiously saturated, biblically ignorant cities in the ancient world. Alone, outnumbered, and speaking to some of the greatest philosophical minds of his day, Paul delivered one of the most brilliant gospel presentations in history. In this message, we unpack what Paul said, why he said it, and what it means for you and me as we try to reach a post-Christian world.
