While our works do not save us, a living faith will always be displayed through our love and service to others. We miss something, something important, when our faith is only in our heads and hearts. An active faith is not only evidence of salvation, but is also part of what makes Christian life so gratifying. This week, Mandi Schneider will share how serving others has lifted her faith.

Life is full of twists and turns, joys and sorrows. Life with God is no different, however, if we are with Him, we have someone leading us, providing for us, and comforting us through all the ups and downs. This week, Fritz Mueller will share such a journey he’s traveled for decades.

When we first come to Christ, we don’t come fully formed. It takes time to apply the Gospel to all the different aspects of our lives. While we might grow quickly in some areas, we don’t in others, and we might know people who are the exact opposite. They grow where we struggle, and we grow where they struggle. Rather than these differences dividing us, they can actually be used to benefit us. This week, we will see how people with different strengths and weaknesses can help one another with their faith.

The question of Christianity and politics is hotly debated. It always has been. Some advocate for complete separation from all involvement, while others advocate for harnessing the power of government to implement Christian values. This week, we'll study a passage that shows a Christian's relationship to the government is both highly nuanced and highly sacrificial, and must point to the greatness of Christ.

The problem of loneliness seems to be getting worse in the world, but Christians have the resources to do something about it. God has given us instructions for how to connect with each other and how to deepen those connections. This week, we will study one such passage where Paul outlines important practices, rooted in what God has already done for us, that can make all the difference in the face of division.

Scripture is filled with all kinds of warnings. Warnings to both believing and unbelieving people. Warnings about the dangers of sin. This week we will look at two very specific warnings Paul gives to believers, and see how those warnings contribute to our salvation.

Scripture contains numerous mysteries. One of the most perplexing we find in the Bible is: how God can be sovereign over all things, and yet, people still be responsible for their decisions and actions? This week, we will study a section of Scripture which addresses God’s sovereignty and our responsibility in regard to our salvation. Does God choose us, or do we choose Him? The answer presents us with both an immense comfort and a high challenge.

The book of Romans contains unparalleled promises from God. Not only are we set free from our shame and guilt, but we are also guaranteed the brightest future. Perhaps most amazingly, all the wrongs against us will be redeemed. But that raises the question: what about Israel? Weren’t they promised all the same things? If so, are they getting them? If not, doesn’t God lose all credibility? This week, we’ll study how Paul addresses this question, and we will see that God is, as always, faithful.

Many of us have heard that Jesus saves, Jesus redeems. But what exactly does that mean? What all is included? Is it simply that we go to heaven when we die, or is it more? This week, we will study the complete redemption provided through Christ and how it is more, much more, than simply a comfortable afterlife.

All of us long to be accepted and included. Known and loved. Some of us can search for acceptance in unhealthy ways. But in Christ, God offers an acceptance unlike any other. This week, we will study the acceptance we have in Christ, and what He did to make it possible.
