The Porch

As Christians, the Bible tells us trials are inevitable — but what if you're putting yourself through additional, avoidable pain? This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek takes us through Ecclesiastes 10 and lays out what the Bible says about seeking wisdom to keep us off a path that leads to hurt.

Money is on our minds, but it shouldn't rule our hearts. This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek walks us through Ecclesiastes 5:10-6:6 to show us that money can bring joy and contentment or stress and anxiety; it all depends on whether you view money as a gift or a god.

How can you love someone you don’t know? To love God, we must know who He is—the one God who is three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This week, guest speaker Oren Martin walks us through Ephesians 1:3-14 to give us a biblical perspective of the Triune God who is worthy of our praise.

Do you ever feel like your worship has become stale? Unfulfilling? Or maybe you feel that worship simply isn’t for you. As we continue in our series, Dust to Dust, TA walks us through Ecclesiastes 5 to show us five keys to true worship that is life giving and satisfying in your walk with the Lord.

God’s design for the Christian life is to be lived in and amongst community. His people are there to lift us up in times of trouble, rejoice in times of celebration, and pray in times of desperation. Simply said: life is better together!

What your life isn’t as beautiful as you want it to be? How would your outlook on life change? As we continue our series over the book of Ecclesiastes, we see not only that there is a time for everything but that God makes everything beautiful in His time.

There is nothing is us that can give us meaning. Have you ever thought about that? As we kick off our new series ‘Dust to Dust’ through the book of Ecclesiastes, Tommy Nelson, Senior Pastor and Elder at Denton Bible Church, walks us through chapters 1 and 2 to see and consider the futility of life without God.

Have you ever considered what it means to surrender? Or are you unsure of how to surrender? Jennie Allen, founder of IF:Gathering and member at Watermark Community Church, shows us in Matthew 6:27 and Galatians 2:20 what it means to fully surrender to God’s perfect and freeing plan for our daily lives.

Are you feeling stuck? Needing someone to help pick you up when you’re down? John Elmore, a Teaching Pastor at Watermark Community Church, reminds us that Jesus is the better way, the best truth, and the eternal life.

Guest speaker Ben Stuart from Passion City DC discusses fighting temptation in the Christian life. He explores the challenges believers face in resisting temptation, the importance of spiritual intimacy, and the power of God's love in overcoming destructive behaviors.
