A life of following Jesus means submitting all of ourselves to Him in worship, which includes the plans we make for the future.

James 4:13-17

Dan Cooper | March 30, 2023

Godly wisdom and worldly wisdom oppose each another. Our motivation, posture, and fruit will tell us what type of wisdom we’re seeking and walking in.

James 3:13-18

Nate Brawn | March 9, 2023

Our words are more powerful than we realize, and our faith is reflected in how we use them.

James 3:1-12

Alan Bowdler | March 2, 2023

Faith without works is not a genuine, living faith but a dead or lifeless “faith.” Our faith in Jesus is proven genuine when our lives reflect the faith we claim to have.

James 2:14-26

Dan Cooper | February 23, 2023

We cannot “love our neighbor as ourselves” while showing favoritism toward only those who are like us. God shows no partiality, and neither should we.

James 2:1-13

Stephen Morris | February 16, 2023

We’re not only meant to hear the truth of God’s Word but also live it out. Being a doer of the Word leads to genuine blessing and joy.

James 1:19-27

Dan Cooper | February 9, 2023

While God tests us, He never tempts us. When we face temptation, we can have confidence that He will provide a way of escape because He is faithful.

James 1:13-18

Dan Cooper | February 2, 2023

Trials are the refining fire God uses to draw out the sinful impurities in us, so that we grow in our faith and better reflect Jesus.

James 1:1-12

Dan Cooper | January 26, 2023

Christianity is, in fact, exclusive in that Jesus is the only way of salvation. Yet Christianity is also inclusive in that this salvation is available to all who desire it through trusting and believing in Jesus.

John 14:1-7; Acts 4:8-12; 1 Timothy 2:1-7

Todd Schreiner | January 19, 2023

When Jesus took on flesh to save us, He unashamedly identified Himself with us in the process. Through baptism, we unashamedly identify ourselves with Him.

Matthew 28:18-20; Colossians 2:6-15

Dan Cooper | December 1, 2022

Abraham’s willingness to give up his only son, Isaac, was a foreshadow of God’s willingness to give up His only Son, Jesus, so that we may have life. It’s a picture of the gospel in the Old Testament.

Genesis 22:1-19

Alan Bowdler | November 17, 2022

God’s reassurance of His covenant with Abraham and the eventual birth of Isaac show us that God keeps His promises. We may not know exactly when a promise will be answered, but we can be certain that His promise will come true.

Genesis 17:15-18:15, 21:1-7

Stephen Morris | November 10, 2022

The sign of circumcision, instituted with Abraham, was more than just a physical act. The spiritual implication reveals it has more to do with the heart, which remains true for us today.

Genesis 17:1-14

Stephen Morris | November 3, 2022

The call of Jesus to the blessed life He won for us is found in surrender, not striving. With Him, we can experience deep joy and abundant life, but away from Him, we experience scarcity and death.

Genesis 12:1-9, 15:1-21

Josiah Callahan | October 27, 2022

When we seek authority and influence over others and control over our circumstances, we experience anxiety and bear the pressure of performing, but we can rest in the fact that God is faithful, trustworthy, and in control.

1 Corinthians 10:6-14

Tim Marrero | October 20, 2022

Zacchaeus shows us how a relationship with Jesus is of the highest value, and his interaction with Jesus is a great blueprint for us on how we should view our money.

Luke 19:1-10

Stephen Morris | October 13, 2022

While much of our culture prioritizes the outer beauty of the body, God values the inward beauty of the heart more.

1 Samuel 16:1-13

Dan Cooper | October 6, 2022

We’re so prone to making sex an idol because it represents our greatest longing, which is the gospel itself.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Dan Cooper | September 29, 2022

We are most prone to fashion an idol out of love when we forsake the One who first loved us.

1 John 4:7-21

Dan Cooper | September 22, 2022

We were created to worship, which means when we’re not worshipping the God we were created for, we will always worship something in His place.

Exodus 20:1-6; Romans 1:18-25
