As humanity begins to fill the earth once again, they continue their rebellion, and so God comes and scatters all the people by confusing their language.

By slowing the spread of wickedness, God reveals Himself as both a holy judge and a gracious redeemer.

As Adam and Eve carry out God's mandate for the earth, Satan enters the story to entice the couple to forfeit their identity.

There is one true God and He is the author of all creation. God brings order, function, and beauty out of the dark, watery chaos by creating a magnificent world and a image bearing humanity.

What if the key to getting what you really want in life is to simply slow down?

One of the best ways to eliminate hurry is when we learn to simplify.

Through the discipline of Sabbath, we learn how to take a true rest and allow our souls to catch up with our schedules.

It might be time for you to discover (or rediscover) what quiet time is really all about.

In this fast paced world, it is important to slow down long enough to discover what we are giving our attention to. Because what you give your attention to is the person you become.

God always keeps His promises, even when He takes longer than we would like.

God stayed true to His promises by sending Jesus at Christmas. Let the light of Jesus shine in you and through you.

Just like He did for Mary, God wants to do something new within your life because of His great love for you.

We can experience peace right in the middle of the struggles of life because of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection.

When we neglect to be thankful, we have set ourselves on a dangerous course.

True joy and praise stem from a heart of thankfulness and sometimes praise requires a sacrifice.

The Apostle Paul admonishes us to give thanks in all things. While giving thanks for everything isn't always pleasant, it's God's will.

As we gather for the Lord's Supper, let's put aside the feuds that divide us and remember the sacrifice that unites us.

When Jesus took up the bread and the cup, He infused something old with something new.

When life gets tough, it is easy to doubt that things can get better. We need to have eyes to see that Jesus is active in our lives today. The Church must become a place that is safe for those who have doubts. The evidence for God is best revealed when it is lived out authentically in community.

There is no enemy you can face in this life that God cannot give you the victory over. But you must trust in Him. When the Church comes together in great faith, there is nothing it cannot do.

Jesus offers us a gift in saying that he has come to give us rest. This rest is found in a grace that does not demand that we jump through all the hoops or get everything right. The rest that Jesus offers is an unmerited favor for anyone who comes to Him.

Disciples do the unimaginable!

Discipleship is our call!

God never intended for us to walk alone. Authentic community in which we deeply know others and are known by others is necessary for a victorious faith life.

Jesus taught that the most effective prayers are simple and heartfelt.

The Bible is God's authoritative Word, showing us clearly who God has been in the history of humanity and what he desires for us individually.

If you are not seeing the fruit, you may need to check your roots.

True freedom is found in Jesus Christ.

You are not just saved from something, you are saved for something.

When we adopt the promise of grace, religion crumbles.

Willingness to sacrifice is one of our highest ideals. But what we are willing to sacrifice for makes all the difference.

Paul took an unusual path to become a leader in the early church.

Guest Speaker Mark Dunn

We are invited to the family of God and to be students of God's Word.

Because Christians have received hospitality and welcome in Christ, hospitality has now become central to our identity and to how we make kingdom disciples.

On the cross, Jesus showed us the cost of the hospitality of God to sinners.

Hospitality is a biblical command meant to bring the love of God into the reality of our day-to-day lives; it is especially meant for those who are far from God and the most vulnerable.

Hospitality starts with God; in making a home for humanity, God shows his care and that he himself is our home.

Mary is unexpectedly given the great responsibility of bringing a human life into the world. This baby is not just any child, but the Savior of the world. How will Mary rise to such a challenge?

Guest Missionary Mallory Loge

Jesus often found himself clashing with the religious leaders of his day. We must be careful not to love religion, otherwise we will forget to love people in the process.

During the time of Jesus, the Jewish people were caught between the Roman government and the Jewish religious establishment. When we see Jesus in every situation, we find unlikely friendships and relationships that supersede the political rift.

Jesus is asked a question about what it means to follow the law of God. The law says to love God and to love your neighbor. But who is our neighbor?

Doubt the Resurrection? You are in good company?

As we prepare for Easter, let's remember the hope of Christ's sacrifice.

As we prepare for Easter, let's remember the hope of Christ's return.

To avoid being misled by false prophets, test everything against scripture

We must love others by being willing to lay down our comforts, our security, and even our own lives for them—just like Jesus.

While there are many philosophies that teach otherwise, it’s important to stand firm on the belief that Jesus is the only way to salvation.
