As we look at Ephesians 5:21-33 we will see how “The Church Is to Love as Christ’s Bride,” and unpack two ways our commitments to church is meant to change how we live. First, Church Is a Commitment that Frees Us to Receive and Give Love. Second, Church Is a Commitment that Challenges Us to Grow into Our Fullest Beauty.

As we examine Christ’s vision for his church, we will look at one more picture of the church’s calling, “The Church is to Love as God’s New Family,” and we will see this in two realities: First, we, the Church Are Called to Live Not as Strangers but Equally as God’s People. Second, we, the Church, Are Called to Love as God’s Own Family United by Jesus.

In Ephesians 2:19-22 and 2 Timothy 3:14-4:4, we will learn how, “The Church Is to be Built on Jesus and His Word,” and unpack three truths about the scriptures. First, The Nature of the Scriptures: They Are God’s Inspired, Authoritative Word. Second, The Role of the Scriptures: To Give Us the Saving Teaching and Correction of Christ. Third, The Danger of Ignoring the Scriptures: Experiencing Separation from Christ.

Ephesians 2:19-22 gives us three truths about how “The Church Is to be a People Filled with God’s Presence.” 1st) God’s Purpose for Our Church: For God’s Presence to Dwell in Us, 2nd) God’s Process for Building Our Church: Shaping and Joining Us into His Temple, 3rd) God’s Platform for Our Church: To Stand Strong on the Foundation of Christ and His Word.

To kick off our new series, “Christ’s Vision for His Church,” in Matthew 16:13-15, Jesus shows us three keys to understanding and being the church. 1st) The Real Founder and Leader of Our Church, 2nd) The Real Way God Grows a Church, 3rd) The Real Way to Lose or Find Life in Church.

As we wrap up this series, in Philippians 3:1-15 the apostle Paul reminds us that, “Treasuring Christ is the Secret to Finding Christian Life,” and call us to do three things: 1st) Realize that Being Religious Alone Won’t Give Us Life, 2nd) See the Surpassing Worth of Truly Finding Christ, and, 3rd) Seek a Model of Mature, Life-Giving Faith.

By examining Revelation 21:1-22:5, we see what the Bible really teaches about eternity and we examine eight facts about heaven that help us be people, "Living Hungry for Heaven."

In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus reveals the path to, "Living a Fruitful Life," by showing us 1) How we recieve God's life, 2) How we respond to God's life, and 3) How we can rest in God's life.

As we examine Revelation 20:11-21:8, we see the good news of how “Jesus Came to Rescue Us from Eternal Death and Bring Us to Eternal Life," by looking at the Final Judgement and the New Heavens and New Earth.

As we examine 1 Peter 1:24-2:10, we will see that “Jesus Came to Free Us From Shame and Give Us a New Identity,” showing us three things: first, How We Deal with Shame, second, How Christ Saves Us From Shame, and, third, How Christ Builds Us a New Identity.
