Some call the sample prayer Jesus gave us “The Lord’s Prayer” and others call it “Our Father.” Join us as we study the implications and significance of the meaning behind this short prayer in Matthew 6:9-13.

Join Greg as he explains that God’s forgiveness is not conditional on our forgiveness of others, as many believe. God’s forgiveness goes far beyond the absence of a penalty – God’s forgiveness is his presence.

Just as young children experience separation anxiety, so too do God’s children. During those times when all that we can see or feel may lead us to think that God no longer cares about us, according to our keynote passage in Romans 8:31-39 we can always be assured of the love of Christ.

Dale Carnegie taught about how to win friends and influence people, whereas Jesus offered a kingdom where power is not defined by riches or fame and where leaders are identified as servants.

Everyone yearns to have at least one BFF, to meet their own true love and come to know their soul-mate. The great news is that not only can we know God, but we can be known of God, and be his best friend forever!

God “works out” and produces his good purpose, workmanship and handiwork in our lives, because he has already “worked in” the life of our risen Lord.

Join us for this day of celebration, centered in Jesus, who is our hope, the foundation of our faith and life everlasting.

Breaking news :live from the empty tomb! The good news of Easter is that it was impossible for death to claim the body of Jesus. Nothing is impossible for God. HE IS RISEN!

Jesus came to this earth to serve, not to be served – and he invites us as Christians to live a life of service. How do you really feel about being a servant of the Lord?

If you want to make a deal and bargain, then you’ll want performance-based, Christ-less religion. Bargaining and making deals with God is the heart and core of religion. God doesn’t do religion – God does grace!

Recalling his experiences in a trip to Israel, Greg retraces the steps of Jesus on the first Palm Sunday. Greg encourages us to think about the religious expectations people had of Jesus then, and now.

We will journey with two of Jesus’ disciples on the road to Emmaus, as they left Jerusalem convinced all was lost. Jesus walked with them, just as he is walking down life’s roads with us today.

We often see what we’re looking for – Mary Magdalene came to Jesus’ tomb looking for his dead body and Jesus was waiting with eternal life. What are we looking for?

God’s hesed love does not give us immunity from pain and suffering. God’s hesed love isn’t always immediate pleasant or easy, but it declares that he will stop at nothing to demonstrate his unending love for you and me.

Paul told the Athenians that they were very religious because their gods needed them. The one true God, according to Paul, doesn’t gain or profit nor is he in anyway enhanced by human attention or activity.

God’s grace is sufficient – there is enough of his grace to cover you and me during our suffering. In Christ we see God’s grace personified and exemplified – he entered into our pain so that we might grow and mature in him.

In this first of a two-part series on pain and suffering we ponder the paradox Paul explained – when he was physically weak he was strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). Join us as we discover that in Christ our suffering does not need to be meaningless and how God can transform us in the midst of our pain.

God is seen and known only by and through Jesus, who came to reveal God. We pray for those who are yet to see and know the One true God.

Isaiah 42:1-4 can help us fit God into the biblical revelation of who Jesus was and is, rather than trying to make Jesus fit into the god Christ-less religion has caused us to know.

There are two dimensions of the kingdom of heaven–and the present dimension is right now! Heaven can’t wait!
