Lessons in the Wilderness

Through the testimony of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Zechariah, and John the Baptist himself, God makes it clear that this rugged wilderness preacher is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. But how did John prepare the way of the Lord and make His paths straight? His nickname, “John the Baptist” gives us a clue! Join us this Sunday as we continue in our advent series and hear a powerful testimony of life transformation.

The Genealogy of Jesus

When you look your family tree and read through the names, it might be a little boring if it just remains a name on the page; but dig a little deeper and you discover that every name has a unique story, a story that eventually leads to and connects with your own story. This Sunday we explore the genealogy of Jesus, and God’s relentless quest to prepare the way for your salvation story!

Learning to Love Your Enemy

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”  - this is Jesus’ word to the average person, facing everyday circumstances and relationship hardships. You’ve got to be kidding right? It takes a God sized imagination to say this, and it takes Jesus sized boldness to live like this, and it takes Holy Spirit sized courage to follow this command of Jesus. Are you up for it?

Learning to Live Without Revenge

Growing up, I often heard adults say “The time should fit the crime.” Our idea of a just world is one in which those who hurt or wrong us get what they deserve. Jesus however tells us do not resist an evil person and do not seek revenge. Join us this Sunday as we unpack Matthew 5:38-42, and learn what it means to nonresistantly love those who hurt us, and in turn invite others to be transformed by the power of Jesus.

Learning to Live Without Lying

Simply let your “yes” be “yes” and your “no” be “no” – Jesus.  That all sounds quite simple, doesn’t it? But don’t confuse simple with easy; studies reveal that the average person speaks 1-2 lies a day, with 60% of us unable to get through a 10 minute conversation without lying. In the age of fake news, false promises, and there absolutely being no absolutes – how does the Good News of the Kingdom shape our promises? Let’s talk about it, see you Sunday.
