We love hero stories - in part because they are echoes of our own story. The problem is, we see ourselves as the heroes, instead of those needing rescue. We kick off a series entitled “The Rescue.”

God gives us the means to be generous, and the honor of being used by him. Generosity not only helps those we give to, but stretches our faith and helps us live outside ourselves. We climax the series with an offering that will be donated to RIP Medical Debt.

Normal is spend, repay debt, pay taxes, save if there’s any left and give if there’s anything left after that. Jesus followers flip that around: give, save, live on the rest. We will especially focus on the spiritual principals behind “saving.”

Decisions we made in the past limit our options in the present – with respect to our money, too. Too often, our choices led to the prison of debt. What can we do to start digging our way out?

Money isn’t fun to talk about. It seems like we’ve always got problems and more money could solve them. Today we’re talking about the number one secret to managing your money well.

We think “Judge Not” means "Never make any kind of judgments at all, ever!” We’ll take a closer look at what Jesus really meant.

Today’s culture doesn’t like the concept of “absolute truth.” That’s where we get the saying “It doesn’t matter what I believe.” It’s tempting to accept that - some people have their truth and we have ours. But that’s not the way Jesus explained things.

We hear, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But God never promises that. What he does promise is to be with us and that his grace is sufficient.

We kick off a series on cultural myths which Christians buy into. We morph “I have a right to be happy,” into “God wants me to be happy.” Although there is truth in that, there are things God wants way more.

We wrap up the series on “Necessary Sins” by talking about lust - every good man’s battle. It’s a war with extremely high stakes, a war we often choose not to fight and a war we cannot win without God’s help.
