The Book of Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew was written to the Jewish community to show them Jesus actually was the Messiah. They needed this Gospel because they were prevented from seeing Jesus due to their unfair expectations of Him. What expectations do we have of Jesus that could potentially blind us?

The Book of Philippians

07/28/24 | Erin Winston
Fear and anxiety are on the rise these days. However, fear and anxiety are nothing new. In the book of Philippians, Paul gives the people of Philippi some excellent advice on how to develop a mindset like Christ to use as a tool to ward off the fear they dealt with daily.

The Book of Galatians

07/21/24 | Aaron Gibson
Weve all encountered some type of legalism in Christianity. In the book of Galatians, Paul addresses some legalistic views that began to spread throughout the region and reminds the churches in Galatia of their faith and how that impacts their life.

The Book of Ephesians

07/14/24 | Doug Bergeson
As we dive back into our New Testament series, Twenty-Seven, you'll hear about lousy poker players, top-notch detectives, three great untruths, emotional reasoning, fickle feelings, competing realities, the power of the mind, a great migration having nothing to do with wildebeest, Monarch butterflies, or Canadian geese...all in service to Pauls overarching message to the Ephesians!

The Book of Jude

In the small book of Jude, we have a great depiction of how the Bible remains both remarkably deep and yet easy to to approach and apply.

The Books of 1, 2, & 3 John

08/27/23 | Nate Rector
The three letters of John to the churches are only a combined 7 chapters long. And yet in this brief collection, John reiterates a singular idea 12 times! Why? What is the idea and why is it so important?

The Book of Hebrews

08/13/23 | Nate Rector
Hebrews goes to great lengths to explain the supremacy of Christ by highlighting the different ways in which Jesus is superior to differing elements within the Hebrew culture. But why does the superiority of Jesus still matter to us today?

The Book of Acts

08/06/23 | Nate Rector
The book of Acts serves as a telling of the great work of the Holy Spirit that links the two great works of Jesus. Further, it shows us that the Spirit is still working today.

The Book of 2 Thessalonians

07/30/23 | Kyle Tolbert
In 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes to clear up some misunderstandings the Thessalonians had about the Second Coming of Christ. Paul's ultimate goal is to remind the Thessalonian Christ-Followers that the Lord had placed them exactly where they were, on purpose, and had a plan for them in their normal lives, for as long as they were still on earth. And that is a truth worth reflecting on and celebrating!

The Book of Colossians

07/09/23 | Aaron Gibson
If Pauls heart behind the letter to the Colossians was to tell us how a Christian is supposed to live, why did he start with what a Christian is supposed to believe? How different would our lives look if we focused on the simple belief and life that Paul is pointing out in this incredible letter?

The Book of 1 Thessalonians

07/02/23 | Kyle Tolbert
What stands out in 1 Thessalonians is the way Paul goes about teaching and ministering to the people of Thessalonica. As we unpack this letter together, what will be revealed is a genuine, relational love between Paul and the people of Thessalonica that reflects the love of Christ and offers an open door to speak the truth of Jesus.
