Our summer character series continues this week jumping into the New Testament in the Gospel of Mark. We'll encounter two different characters, both going through immense suffering, and see how Jesus brings healing to their lives. What we see in their healing will help us deal with our suffering today.

We continue our character study summer series in the book of Daniel with a look at one of the most encouraging stories of the power of prayer. How Daniel resists through teaches us many lessons about how great prayer is.

We continue our character series looking at David and one of the most beloved passages of all of Scripture: Psalm 23. In this message we explore the good news that God is our Shepherd King.

There is no lack of experts on the topics of leadership and character, but we often lack God's perspective on what true leadership and character in His kingdom looks like. Deborah is an amazing example of character through chaos, and she ultimately teaches us that it is not our character at all which we point to for help.

Shiphrah and Puah are likely two women you've never heard of before, but they are some of the most courageous and faithful women. The first chapter of Exodus tells us how they stood up to power to save the most vulnerable among them. Their faith teaches us about how to care for the most vulnerable amongst us today, and what it truly means to fear God and not the state.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that the authors of the books of the Bible were real people with real personalities and real struggles like us. In the closing of his letter to the Colossians, Paul mentions many of these real people. We explore how we can learn from each of them and how they point us to the good news of Jesus.

How should followers of Jesus live in a world of many people who don't share our faith? In this short section in Colossians Paul teaches us that the mission God has given us is one of grace towards others as we share the good news of Jesus in our words and with our lives.
