The Porch

Is there sin or sickness in your life that needs healing? It's not hard to see this world is broken and in need of healing, but how do we move from hurting to healed?

What does it mean to have a saving faith? For Nicodemus, it meant following all the rules and checking the boxes, but this week Timothy “TA” Ateek walks us through John 3:1-15 to show us how Jesus is the Truth Teller when it comes to our salvation — it’s not something we earn, but a free gift we’re miraculously given!

You’ve probably heard “The church isn’t a place, it’s a people,” but do we actually live our lives like the Holy Spirit lives within us?

Suffering is (unfortunately) inevitable, but it’s not the end — instead of temporary happiness, God offers us eternal joy when we look to Him during trials.

Believing in Jesus is the beginning of your faith journey, not the end. Now it's time to follow Him, but how do we do that in a culture that pushes being in control of your own life? This week, Josiah Jones walks us through John 1:35-51 to show us how we can be better disciples of the one true leader of our lives.

In the beginning was the Word, then the Word became flesh and we were given the ultimate gift. This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek walks us through John 1:1-14 to show us how to respond to the gift of Jesus, the Son of God who came to reveal His Glory.

If we want a revival to happen in our generation, we have to have a hunger for holiness — but what does that look like? Guest speaker Luke LeFevre walks us through Matthew 24:37-44 to remind us that God's patience with us is not His passivity toward our sin, and if we want to experience true intimacy with Him we have to repent and start pursuing holiness.

In a society where we're told to "live our truth," Scripture makes it clear that the only way to find our identity is to recognize who we are in Christ. This week, guest speaker Kylen Perry, Metro Venue Pastor in Houston, TX, walks us through Genesis 32:24-30 to show us how God will lead us out of hiding to get us to embrace our design.

How will your future self look back on your young adult years? This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek walks us through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 11-12 and gives us biblical guidelines for living in a way that honors God and keeps us from wasting our 20s and 30s.

When you have an eternal perspective, the way you live your life should change. This week, Josiah Jones takes us through Ecclesiastes 7 and highlights Biblical truths that will help us live in the present, with the end in mind.
