Is there really only one true religion... or are all roads leading to the same destination? If God is real, why do so many people believe different things?

This week in Tough Questions, we'll dive into Acts 17:16–34 and uncover four realities about religion that challenge our assumptions. Discover why everyone worships something, why the human heart keeps creating idols, why God is impossible to ignore, and why Jesus' invitation isn't just to believe more but to repent and follow Him.

Come ready to wrestle with one of life's biggest questions and discover a truth that can change everything.

If you've ever wondered, "How do I really know what the Bible teaches when even godly people disagree?" You're not alone! Join us as we discover how to rightly handle God's Word without getting lost in confusion or endless debates. Through 2 Timothy 2 and James 1, we'll learn three practical steps for understanding Scripture: hold to what God makes clear, reject what God rejects, and give grace in the rest.

This week we're tackling one of the biggest questions skeptics and believers alike ask.

Join us as we explore the evidence, the impact, and the reason you can trust God's Word

Join us as we kickoff our summer series called Tough Questions. Tough questions don't have to weaken your faith—they can deepen it. This week we'll discover why truth welcomes honest questions and learn two practical keys for answering the toughest questions with confidence, humility, and grace. Whether you're wrestling with doubts or helping someone else find answers, this message will equip you to stand firm in the truth.

The crowds welcomed Jesus as King, but many wanted a king who would fit their expectations instead of one they would follow. In John 12:12–50, we'll discover why Jesus is the perfect King; present with us, personal to us, and worthy of our complete surrender. The real question isn't whether Jesus is King; it's whether He is your King. Join us as we explore what it means to lay down our lives and follow King Jesus.

Here's the truth: when you recognize who Jesus is, worship becomes the only reasonable response. Worship is laying down all that I am before all that Jesus is. This week, we'll explore what it looks like to live a life of wholehearted devotion and why Jesus is worthy of it all. Because if Jesus is worthy of it all, then He is worthy of our all.

What do you do when hope feels lost, faith feels weak, and your soul feels weary? In John 11, we encounter Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus and discover that He is still in the business of bringing dead things to life. When all hope seems gone, Jesus reveals Himself as the Living Hope who meets us in our pain, strengthens our faith, and offers eternal life to all who believe in Him. Join us as we explore the powerful truth that Jesus doesn't just give hope, He is our hope!

The next year may bring a conversation with someone hostile to Christianity. Are you ready? In John 10:22–42, we'll discover five practical strategies for engaging unbelief with truth, grace, and confidence. The goal isn't to win arguments, it's to invite people to follow Jesus. Join us as we learn how to have meaningful gospel conversations in a world that is often hostile to faith.

In a world full of competing voices, who are you following? Jesus, the Good Shepherd, calls His sheep by name, and they know His voice.

Join us as we explore the rescue story of the Gospel, learn what it means to hear and follow Jesus, and discover the peace that comes from remembering whose you are.

Not every voice should be followed. Thieves distract, strangers deceive, but Jesus is the Door, the way to salvation, protection, and true satisfaction. The voice you follow will shape the future you live. Join us as we learn how to step through the Door and discover safety, purpose, and life found only in Him.
