Maybe you’ve heard the parable of the Good Samaritan, the humble man who stopped to help a fellow traveler others passed by. Do you remember, though, that his parable was in response to a question, and that Jesus finished it with a rhetorical question of his own? Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?

Jake talks on how none of us are past the point of restoration as long as we have love for Jesus.

Bob talks on what Jesus says we will (or won’t) gain by pursuing things of this world vs. pursuing Him.

You can learn a lot about someone by the questions they ask. Jesus might have already known the answer to every question he asked, but they can still teach us quite a lot about him. This new series explores some of those questions, starting with the deceptively obvious one Jesus asks to his disciples in a storm: why are you so afraid?

Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift… – Matthew 5:23-24. In today’s special message Jonathan Wolfgang challenges us to actually go out and do what Jesus said.

“I am the vine… you are the branches.” Scott dives into this verse from John 15 to help us understand what Jesus really means when he exhorts us to “remain in me.”

You may have read the verse that describes us as God’s “masterpiece”. Today, Jake looks at some different kinds of masterpieces (and other passages in Scripture) to show us what that really means.

The Bible often refers to us as “sheep”… which doesn’t feel much like a compliment. Garrett helps us look past our culture’s obsession with leadership to see why this metaphor is used so often.

Our new series explores what God’s made us to be, and in this first message Jake unpacks the frequent Biblical metaphor of clay in the potter’s hands to help us understand how God shapes us – cracks and all.

In the last sermon in this series, we ask the biggest questions left on the table: how does God speak to us today? And, just as importantly – how can we know, for sure, whether we are hearing His voice?
