2 Chronicles 24 gives a look into King Joash having the temple restored, but how does that apply to us today? Join us as we delve into the realization that WE are the temple of God ... and many of us need to restore the place of worship that is "us".

Our world often tries to claim there are many ways to God, or even that God is somehow whatever you want Him to be. But the truth is that "there can be only one" and the Bible is clear on who that is. Join us today as we talk about "The One" and how that reality should shape our lives.

Here's a stark reality: our world is under pressure, and so are Christians. The social climate in our society is promoting sin shamelessly. People are under pressure from their jobs, from family dynamics, from health issues, from finances, and many other sources. So they experience anxiety, weariness, and impatience. Join us as we tackle some things head-on in this message, culminating in how scripture tells us to deal with anxiety, weariness, and impatience.

So many times we might only think of the sacrifice Jesus made as a very "surface" sort of thing. But what if we really stopped to think about what 2 Corinthians 5:21 means when it says that Jesus was made to "be" sin so that we might "become" the righteousness of God in Him? That's what we talk about in today's message.

Early in 2 Corinthians 3 there are three ministries described from the old covenant, and these are then contrasted to the replacement ministries under the new covenant. What a powerful truth to understand the ministry of the Spirit, the ministry of righteousness, and the ministry of permanence.

So many people have come before us with a testimony of God seeing them through even the toughest challenges of life. Today we dig into Heb 12:1-3 and understand how this impacts us. We embrace being called to lay aside the weight and the sin that impacts how we "run the race" we call life.

Our faith has to endure, pure and simple. Here on this Easter, we continue our walk through Hebrews 10 and talk about enduring faith. And in the midst of it, we remind ourselves that Christ truly is greater than anything else ... including death!

God calls us to become mature believers, demonstrating endurance in our lives. The writer uses one of those four letter words: lazy ... in reminding us that we must have faith and perseverance. We learn today that one of the ways we have endurance is understanding that even while we are doing our best to hold onto Jesus ... He has also taken hold of us. Join us ... dive in ... grow today!

Do you get "saved" but it really doesn't change you? Do you truly receive the God of all Creation as your Lord and Savior ... but nothing in your life is different? Can you get saved and just keep living however you want? What does real repentance look like? This is what we find ourselves thinking through in the first part of Hebrews 6. Join us as we dive in and look at multiple passages of scripture about "repentance".

Hebrews 3 reminds us of the very real danger of becoming "hardened" in our heart ... a heart that can become evil and unbelieving, leading us away from the living God. Like hands with callouses, our hearts can toughen up to where we are no longer sensitive to the things of God or the voice of God. Are you sensitive?
