MATTHEW: THE BRIGHTEST WORSHIP IN THE DARKEST HOUR is an exploration of worship as seen in the closing chapters of Matthew. It takes us through the Passion Week and shows how Jesus worshiped in His darkest hour through prayer, sacrifice, weeping, outreach, and song. Each week highlights a unique expression of worship, drawing from the narratives of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the triumph of Christ's resurrection. This series invites us to see worship as a daily response to God's love, inspired by Jesus' example and the actions of those around Him. Join Horizon for this verse-by-verse study at the Equipping services, meeting Sundays at 8:30 and 9:45 a.m.

To be successful, an archaeologist needs the stamina of an explorer, the intelligence of a scientist, the consideration of a historian, and the optimism of a child. In many ways, those same characteristics serve us well as we investigate faith. Skeptics who want proof are often surprised to learn that there's historical and archaeological evidence to support the historical Jesus. The places mentioned in scripture are actual locales, and scientists have worked tirelessly there for centuries to investigate the veracity of the Bible and its claims. Join Horizon at the 11 a.m. Exploring Service as we look at those findings in RAIDERS OF THE LOST CITIES, a journey of discovery and truth through archaeology.

Beth and her husband, Todd, live with their family in Cincinnati, Ohio where they serve as Co-Executive Directors of Back2Back Ministries. After graduating from Indiana University, the Guckenbergers moved to Monterrey, Mexico where they lived for 15 years. Between biological, foster, and adopted children, they have raised eleven children. Beth is the author of eleven books including adult and children's titles. She travels and speaks regularly at conferences, youth gatherings and church services about reckless faith. Her style is based in story-telling and she draws from her vast field experience as a missionary, Bible teacher and parent for illustrations of biblical concepts.

The world is often cynical about kindness. We tend to wonder, "What's their hidden motive?" Fred Rogers, the cardigan-wearing TV host, faced that skepticism daily on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. His show's mission, rooted in his Christian faith, was about seeing people's pain and suffering with them. It's the same approach Jesus showed in His neighborhood, ministering to the hurting and neglected, while others rushed by. Join Horizon at the 11 a.m. Exploring Service for WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?, as we unpack how Mister Rogers and Jesus taught us to care for those around us.

The growth of the early church was a grass roots effort -- individuals shared their faith story to others, who then passed it along down the line. The Apostle Paul wrote many letters encouraging those missionaries to continue to do so, despite difficult times. His final letter to Timothy is a challenging reminder that the world still needs to hear about Christ, and it's our responsibility to faithfully hand that message to others like a runner passes along a baton.
