Some Christians believe spiritual growth is God’s responsibility entirely. Others take a view that they must be more active in their spiritual growth. Perhaps it is a both/and situation.

This Sunday will be the close of our Forever Changed series with a message from guest teacher Leron Heath on Luke 24:13-35.

This Sunday we will look at the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10. In this world, which screams, “Mine!” the Spirit of God whispers, “Give.” Jesus wants us to put him at the center of our lives. That’s it. That’s a lot for some of us who have something we don’t want to give up. But God doesn’t say, “Give and you will be safe.” He says, “Give, and I will bless you. Trust me.” Blessing may […]

In this message we look at how Jesus forever changed the way we view, value, treat and cherish women.

We will look at the interaction Jesus had with a man named Zacchaeus in Luke 19. Zacchaeus was a despised tax collector. He was filled with guilt. His life was a waste. But the truth about him was he was only one sincere confession away from intimacy with God. He was as far away from God as it was possible to be, and yet he was one confession away from being forever changed. No matter how damaged your life may […]

Matthew 15 is the story of a very unusual interaction Jesus has with a Canaanite woman. She pleads with Jesus to heal her daughter who is suffering terribly. Jesus responds by giving two tests; one for this woman and another for his disciples. The woman is given an endurance test. How much faith does she have that Jesus is truly compassionate and able to heal her daughter? The disciples are given a love test. What is their attitude toward outsiders? […]

In this story, Jesus teaches that the work of God is not primarily about rules. It’s primarily about people. Jesus is essentially saying, “If you want to do the work of God, start by paying attention to people, especially people that others ignore.” The religious leaders of Jesus’ day were so devoted to showing their righteousness that they missed the essence of the work of God. The essence of the work of God is love. “As Jesus went along” he […]

This is one of the greatest responses to Jesus in the Bible. In Luke 7 Jesus has dinner at the home of Simon the Pharisee. A woman in the town who led a sinful life interrupts the meal by kissing and anointing Jesus’ feet. She’s so broken and overwhelmed by his love that it’s as if she’s forgotten who she is and where she is. She just pours herself out in adoration and gratitude, with no shame or embarrassment. And […]

We will look at a number of men and women in the Gospels, everyday men and women who had an experience with Jesus that forever changed them. Our goal in this series is not just that we learn about these interactions, but that we have our own life-transforming experiences with Jesus.

One of the unique aspects of Christianity compared to any other faith or movement is that it actually traces its origin to one particular event in one moment on one day in history. This moment has changed more human hearts than any other event in human history. In this message you’ll hear how Easter changes everything for you.
