B&B: Bagels and Bibles with Kim Rogers

Sometimes you have to fight for HOPE. You have to choose to allow your eyes and heart to be open to seeing and feeling how Jesus is working in your life in the hardest moments. Guest teacher Elisha Bongay shares a powerful message about a dark time when she knew Jesus was all she had. When you feel like you have nothing left, you have to choose to believe Jesus hasn’t left you, you have to believe He’s your only source for EVERYTHING. You will be encouraged to stand firm in hope and never let it go.

Hope is vulnerable. And in those moments of vulnerable faith, we have to look with eyes of faith. In part two of our series, “Get Your Hopes Up!”, Crystal Gurevich takes us through the story of Lazarus, reminding us that God always builds his kingdom, even while we are vulnerably waiting like Mary and Martha for our miracle. When we place our hope in Him, we can be confident in knowing that Jesus always wins.

How many times have you been talking with a friend about something and you end with the phrase, "But I don't want to get my hopes up." Or perhaps you were repeatedly cautioned when you were younger with the similar "Don't get your hopes up." In this message Kim kicks off the fall series “Get your hopes up!”, reminding us that we serve the God of ALL HOPE.

Do you ever zone out or waste time? Our world is filled distractions and things that are constantly calling for our attention. They promise to entertain us or to help us numb the pain in our lives… but too often these distractions leave us feeling empty. In this teaching we discover the key to finding true fulfillment and how we can choose to live with significant purpose!

Sometimes our lives are like sitting in front of the television. We might end up in a show that is full of suspense, drama, sadness, or warfare... or maybe we have to sit through a boring infomercial that seems to go on forEVER.

How do we find peace and contentment when we are in a season that we are bored of, or scared in – or we are just OVER? The Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians that he has learned to be content.

In this message, Kim shares what Paul has to teach us about mastering the discipline of contentment.

This message kicks off the Summer Series “Life Doesn’t Come With A Remote”.

We hear a lot about God's great love, grace, and power - but we can't move forward in the wake of our sin and shame without understanding God's mercy… In this message, Kristina Vandenheuvel teaches us out of the life of David - how he moved past his sin and remained a man after God's own heart.

Are there things that you have intended to do, but just can't seem to get around to it? Has God asked you to do something but you are procrastinating? This month, Kim teaches on our good intentions using the parable of the two sons - which one was obedient? This message will leave you encouraged and challenged to get moving!

"Dear Woman, why are you sobbing?” are quite possibly the first words Jesus said after He was resurrected. He sweetly met Mary Magdalene by the tomb in the moment of her pain. She had seen up close the devastating effects of the bitter blows Jesus received on the way to the cross, but now she couldn’t find him.

In part 3 of the series titled WOMAN, guest speaker Crystal Gurevich leads us in asking what truths can we hold onto when we’re standing at the tomb, see an empty grave, but can’t see Jesus.

In part 2 of a 3 part series titled WOMAN, Kim tenderly steps into sexual abuse and assault in the bible and addresses abuse or harassment in our own lives.  She shares her own story and invites a pastor and friend, Gary Paltridge, to close up the message and pray for the women.
