When we think of royalty we may think of the red carpet and flashing lights. We probably wouldn't think of a king coming in humility, yet that is how Jesus came. What does this mean and what are the implications of this for his church? Join us as we take a look at the one true King!

1) The Nature of the King
2) The Nature of the Kingdom

Text: Matthew 21:1-11

A common approach to giving comfort in suffering is to reassure the sufferer that there are good reasons for the suffering; compelling answers to "Why?" questions. The book of Job teaches us consolation may be better given through a different question: "What?" Join us for the final installment of "Trusting God in the Darkness," where we will explore an unexpected approach to finding comfort in dark times.

1) What God says
2) What God doesn’t say
3) What it means for handling suffering well

Text: Job 38-42

When tragedy strikes, where do you turn? We usually turn to our friends and family. Why? Because we're looking for comfort and counsel. But not everyone is good at giving it. We'll learn from Job's "miserable comforters" to see what we can learn about how to offer good comfort to those grieving.

1) How not to counsel
2) How to self-counsel
3) The best counsel

Text: Job 3-37

Pull up news headlines circulating at any hour and you'll read about suffering. The loss doesn't have to be death. You might be grieving the loss of your health or the health of a loved one. You might be struggling through a time of financial need. Suffering is a certainty in life. So how do we learn to trust God in the darkness? Join us as we jump into a new series on the book of Job.

Looking at suffering from four vantage points:
1) How Satan sees suffering
2) How God sees suffering
3) How Job sees suffering
4) How you can see suffering

Text: Job 1:1-2:10

The Bible. It is the most widely read, quoted, translated, published, and sold book of all time, but what do you believe about it? In our series, Final Authority, let’s get curious about the claims of this book of books and consider what those claims mean for our lives today. Join us for the second message of this two-part series.

Three very practical ways we can listen to all that God has said in His Word to endure all that this world can do:
1) See it.
2) Receive it.
3) Practice it.

"I'm not worthy to be a follower of Jesus Christ."

Has that thought ever crossed your mind? There is good news if it has. Jesus doesn't pigeonhole you into who you currently are. Rather, he sees in you the potential of who you can become. That's worth celebrating!

1) Who he came for
2) What he called for
3) The befitting culmination of it

Text: Luke 5:27-32

"I think when God wants to play a really rotten practical joke on you, he grants you your deepest wish." - Cynthia Heimel

We are easily duped into thinking getting our deepest wishes will satisfy. Celebrities of all walks of life will tell you otherwise. Jesus refuses to play this rotten joke on us. He offers something far better.

1) The place of felt needs
2) The nature of faith
3) The priority of forgiveness

Text: Luke 5:17-26

Unacceptable. Worthless. Unwanted.

There was a man Jesus lovingly engaged with whose life could be described this way. Perhaps you can, on some level, relate. Come find out what Jesus did for him and can do for you.

A transforming encounter with Jesus:
1) The precursor to it
2) The radical nature of it
3) The costly love it requires

Text: Luke 5:12-16

No one is born a Christian. So how does one become a Christian? Luke helps us see how this happens by telling us stories about the first people to ever make the decision to follow Jesus. We'll get a good look at how that happened in the life of the earliest follower of Jesus: the infamous Simon Peter.

How does one become a Christian?
1) Hear
2) Trust
3) Confess
4) Respond

Text: Luke 5:1-11
