In a court of law, the jury is never there when the crime was committed. Yet, they are charged with handing down a verdict based on the evidence they are provided. In the same way, we must make a verdict, based on the preponderance of evidence on whether Jesus truly defeated death and resurrected himself. Pastor Boog looks at a couple pieces of evidence to consider.

The passage from Phil 4:13​, "I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength" is misinterpreted and twisted too often to emphasize "I can." We have an invitation to live from Him. So, why do we settle for what we can make happen on our own?

How does our experience of eternal life help us transcend our present circumstances?

What is the one thing separating you from being content, satisfied, in your life? How would you fill in the blank, "I will be content when _________?" Is contentment attainable? In the letter to the Philippians Paul says he has learned it. Let's look at the secret.

Stephany Rose shares a Purpose of Struggle.

During this season of Lent believers are preparing. Like the first apprentices, we are following Jesus to the Cross and Easter. Those who have separated themselves from the Church are invited to find their way home to participate in the life of the church. We are all called to a season of confession and then change.

What if your weakness and failures are actually a strength. How is that possible? The apostle Paul speaks to Jesus turning things upside down on the reality of strength and weakness.

Boog begins a new Series called The Space Between to prepare us for this Lent season. What do we do when there is nothing we can do?

Jesus said that how we love and care for the hungry, thirsty, the stranger and immigrant, the cold, the sick and alone, and those in prison...is how we love Him. It is a blessing, a gift to give rather than accumulate (Matthew 25.)

If you think money can't buy happiness, you're not spending it right. Jesus hints at this truth in His parable about the Rich Man and Lazarus. And the rest of Jesus' teaching makes it clear the way we should go. -Boog Rose
