The arrival of Jesus means the gift of a Savior - the one who would restore our relationship with God the Father. With that gift also comes the arrival of a hope, love, joy and peace that goes far beyond anything this world can offer.
We often chase after 'happiness' in our lives by pursuing hobbies, money, relationships, and success. But what happens when things don't go our way? How can we have joy during hard times or when the world around us is anything but joyful?
In a polarized world of opposite opinions on nearly every issue or current event, how do we make sense of it all? When we're confronted with a cultural issue or event, how would God have us respond? How does God want us to see the world? How does the Bible answer the fundamental questions of where we came from, why we're here, and what's right and wrong?
At Christmas we remember that God is the giver of the ultimate gift. This season is the perfect time to receive the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ and learn how to live it out each day.
When we understand that Jesus Christ is the ideal Lord and Savior, our relationship with Him will lead us toward the ideal perspective on every aspect of life including work, relationships, marriage, family and more.
Jesus taught in parables to paint a vivid picture of what the Kingdom of God was like, and how He wants us to live. In a world desperately searching for answers to the problems of suffering, injustice and inequality, Jesus provides the way to a transformed heart and a brand new life of hope.
Join us each week as we walk verse by verse through the most famous sermon Jesus ever gave: the Sermon on the Mount. The things we learn together will help us to Live Different - and live better - at work, at home, at school, and with our families.
Christmas represents the fulfillment of God's plan for salvation since the beginning of time. There is no greater reveal in history than the arrival of Jesus Christ - the hope of the world.
Where did we come from? Why are we here? Why is the world the way that it is? Sometimes to understand the big picture, we have to go back to the beginning. Genesis provides big answers to big questions as it tells the story of who God is and His plan for the world.
Our faith isn't meant to be hidden away inside us. Jesus' command to 'go and make disciples' means we have a responsibility to pass along what we know as we live our faith out in everyday life. As we grow in faith, God will use us to encourage others toward a faith in Jesus, and model what a relationship with Him looks like. 2 Timothy is the Apostle Paul's faithful encouragement to Timothy to 'walk this way'.
The world constantly challenges us with claims of truth, but truth is not subjective. The letters of John will show us how the truth of Jesus can set us free from a world trapped in darkness, so we can walk in the light as children of God.
