Series
Haggai
God’s task for His people was bigger than one individual. We accomplish the work of His Kingdom when we put the first things first.
Recommissioned
It is tragic yet common for Christians and churches to wander away from Jesus’ parting instructions. To make disciples of all nations, we must recommission ourselves to the Great Commission.
1 Peter
The Apostle Peter wrote to scattered disciples trying to survive in a world that contradicted Jesus’s ways. His instructions provide sanity for us as we live fully in a place where we don’t completely belong.
Ecclesiastes
Solomon had everything this world had to offer and was still miserably discontent. We must learn God’s perspective if we are to free ourselves from the meaningless pursuits that are rampant in our society.
I AM
The more we understand the identity of Jesus, the more we will comprehend the activity that should permeate our lives. The person and ministry of Jesus Christ meet our greatest needs.
Psalm 119
The longest chapter in the Bible speaks to our need for all chapters within it. If we desire to live a joyful, God-honoring life, we must be relentlessly dependent upon knowing and applying the Scriptures.
Exodus
In the Book of Exodus, we discover a relentless God who will do whatever it takes to redeem hopeless people in inescapable bondage. God delivers us so profoundly that we should devote our lives wholeheartedly to Him.
Fear Not
Consider what it must have been like during that first Christmas when God invaded some people’s plans for His own. The presence and promise of God were meant to rid them of fear and embolden them to go forward.
Nehemiah
During Nehemiah’s day, God’s people were discouraged and directionless. Met with significant challenges, they continued to press on to the work assigned to them.
Parables
When Jesus taught His disciples, He often used parables. They were Kingdom truths contained in memorable stories. His paradigm-shifting call within them is just as radical for us today. As we study these stories, they are guaranteed to alter our own.
1 Thessalonians
Paul’s letter to the Thessalonian church portrayed a healthy church that he hoped could even get healthier. In light of Christ’s return and the promise of heaven, this church could stand strong in the culture and make a difference in every context in which God placed them.
1 John
If you really want to experience the life God intended, you must know the God who created you. Too many followers of Jesus struggle with an assurance of salvation, the standard of truth, the call of obedience, and the path of unity. Don’t settle for a mediocre faith, but pursue a faithful life.
Distracted
The burden of busyness and the tyranny of technology is doing significant damage to our souls. Instead of being devoted, we are distracted. Instead of feeling focused, we fare frantically. We normalize stress and neglect stillness. If you feel overwhelmed with the pace of life, let God’s Word expose you to a different kind of standard.
Family Proverbs
Most of us know all too well that the closest people can bring the deepest hurt. Family relationships suffer from unnecessary pain because we fail to apply God’s clear yet direct instructions. If you want to experience a godly home, you must apply biblical wisdom.
Habakkuk
The prophet Habakkuk struggled with God’s plan in the world because it didn’t meet his expectations. He didn’t hold back from asking hard questions, and God didn’t refrain from providing hopeful answers. If you have struggled with what God has done or allowed others to do, it is time to learn how to trust God again.
Sermon on the Mount
Matthew 5-7 archives the greatest sermon in the history of the world. As Jesus gathered His growing followers together, He taught a simple yet thorough overview of how Kingdom citizens should live. Christianity is more than a mere association of rules, but it is a complete dedication to a countercultural lifestyle.
Psalms [Vol. 2]
While all Scripture is inspired by God, Psalms are inspired for God. These ancient worship songs teach us how to respond to the unchanging God.
Philippians
Giving his life away for gospel ministry landed Paul in prison, and yet all he could talk about was the need to rejoice. If he could find joy in there, we should be able to find joy no matter where we are.
Financial Proverbs
Whenever we refuse to handle our finances God’s way, we invite unnecessary chaos into our lives. In the Book of Proverbs, God provides practical wisdom that is as relevant today as when it was first written. Discover God’s will for your money, and you will experience God’s best for your life.
He Shall Be Called
esus was prophesied to be the Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Mighty God, and the Prince of Peace. Are you experiencing Jesus to be all these things to you?
Malachi
Sometimes the spiritual apathy among God’s people is so tragic that He desires to close the doors to worship altogether. Offering nothing would be better than offering leftovers. Join us as we study verse-by-verse through the Book of Malachi and hear how God responds to those who tragically give Him the bare minimum.
Distinctive Discipleship
If you feel like you are stuck in your Christian walk, then it is time to start moving again. The solution for spiritual stagnation is distinctive discipleship.
Psalms [Vol. 1]
The Psalms teach us how to speak to one as glorious as God. As we study these ancient prayers and songs, we learn the right posture with which to approach God.
Multiply
Since Jesus rose from the grave, the Church has not grown by addition but by multiplication. What will it look like if we truly multiply disciples and churches?
Peace on Earth
When the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, they told them that peace on earth had come. As we look around us, how do we reconcile this supposed peace with the state of the world? Did the Angels Waste Their Words? December 3, 2017 Peace on Earth Did the Angels Waste Their Words? (Luke 2:8-14) When the angels …

Biblical Blueprint
Families can focus upon numerous worthless pursuits. As believers, we must build our families based upon the biblical blueprint provided.
Titus
Titus was a pastor trying to keep the church he pastored in the center of God’s will rather than the center of man’s wishes. When we encounter God’s direction regarding the Church, we will realize he has paradigm shifts for how we think and live as the Church.
Jonah
Jonah was a prophet on the run but discovered quickly that he could not outrun God. No matter how hard we may try to avoid God’s call on our own lives, we will soon realize that we cannot escape God’s relentless pursuit.
