Pastor Jason, Pastor David and Case look at what the national debate on gun control reveals about Christians today: We struggle to carry on meaningful conversations with one another about cultural issues when our opinions differ.

Pastor Jason begins a two-part look at service based on the Acts 6 model, which demonstrates how a church grows through the help of its members. "Service is the normal pattern for the Christian."

Kim Sawyer almost died in a motorcycle accident. A phone call, a prayer and an invitation to church from someone Kim had never met helped change both Kim's and her husband's lives forever. This interview with Kim and Stefan accompanies her story, which you can read at alcgrapevine.com/stories.

Our journey through each book of the Bible concludes for this summer with Pastor Jason's message from Ezekiel. "When you have done your worst, God is at his best."

Pastor Andy Foxall continues our series on the Major Prophets with a look at the Book of Lamentations. "We see the brokenness of man in Lamentations, and we see the faithfulness of God."

In the second week of our series on the Major Prophets, Pastor Jason explores the Book of Jeremiah. "We don't come in here at 10:15 and offer up ritualistic words to God. When we come in here at 10:15, we approach the holy God who sits upon His throne, and He is worthy of worship."

Pastor Jason and Case Hubbart discuss a National Review article on the impact of partisan politics on the witness of Evangelicals. Highlights:

Pastor Jason's message on the Book of Isaiah was the first of a four-week look at how Christ is evident in the Major Prophets. "When God has redeemed you, He has redeemed you for a purpose. Now go walk in that purpose."

Pastor Jason concludes our series on Solomon's wisdom books with a look at how the Song of Songs fits into the theme of redemption that runs throughout the Bible.

Pastor David's sermon in our Wise Guy series examined how to better understand the unique Book of Ecclesiastes, a book Solomon wrote 3,000 years ago that remains especially relevant today because of its emphasis on the meaninglessness of a life lived apart from God. "Jesus is both our source and our model for God's wisdom."
