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.

Why We Pray

One of the best yet most neglected spiritual practices is prayer. Let's delve into why it's important to keep praying, no matter the circumstance.

Thessalonica and Berea

In Acts 17, Paul and Silas show us how to live a life that makes a difference for Jesus. It involves courage to speak about Jesus, even to people who don’t want to hear. It means knowing biblical content, so we can speak the truth. It shows us by making converts and not being surprised when we face conflict. If we want our lives to count for Jesus, this study shows the importance of courage, content, converts, and handling conflict to make a difference for Jesus.

The Philippian Jailer

Beaten, bleeding, and locked in a torture device at midnight — yet they were singing. By morning, the jailer and his entire family were Christians, and the magistrates who ordered the beating were apologizing. Find out how God is about the business of growing his church in ways nobody expects.
