Pastor Jeff Manion helps us see how the way we respond to pain is important. We learn to not allow the pain we experience to define the way we react.

Student Ministries Pastor Aaron Buer walks us through the story of Jacob getting married. This week our conversation revolves around what we want and how we go about obtaining IT.

Pastor Jeff Manion walks us through the events of Acts 2 and 3 for Easter 2018.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Dr. John Dickson Scripture: Luke 23:32-46

Guest speaker John Dickon walks us through the conversation between Jesus and one of the criminals crucified next to him. The conversation leads us to a three-part “safety check” to help us assess our understanding of the gospel. The safety check is important because it is possible to assume we have the real thing when we actually have a plastic version.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Dr. John Dickson Scripture: Mark 14:26-72

Pastor Jeff Manion discusses the events surrounding Jesus’ trial. Peter plays a central role as he moves from claiming he would follow Jesus to the point of death to being disappointed in himself because he denied knowing Jesus three times. Through this conversation we are reacquainted with a Jesus who knows what it is like to be alone because he was abandoned by those closest to him.
