In Jesus day your family was your resume. Included in Jesus family history are a few key women who help to tell us not only who Jesus is, but what he came to do. Join us in this week as we explore Jesus in the stories, conversations he had with women throughout the Gospels.

Does God value a "stiff upper lip?" It's easy to believe that when we come before God we should only be grateful that we are allowed to exist and breathe. But, as we see in Psalm 22, God is glorious enough to handle both the wonderful realities of our lives and our suffering. Join us today as Dr. Leon Harris walks us through Psalm 22 and presents a pattern that we can use to pray to God through the reality of our lives.

What are the practical and even cosmic reasons we gather as a church? Join us as we briefly look at Acts 2:42-47 to see the incredible thing that happen as we gather together.

Many stories in the Bible portray David as the hero, the good guy, and the Christlike figure. But, David - like us - was human, sinful, and fallen. So how does a man after God's own heart respond when he does something unimaginably wrong? Join us today as Daniel walks us through this deeply human story, and how we can see God's redemption and grace within David's lowest moment.

Friendship is essential to make it through life's toughest times. In this passage we see the ingredients that make up a biblical friendship and we're pointed to the ultimate friend.

It's easy to believe that Christians employ a "fake it till you make it" strategy when the don't feel like praising God. But, the Bible tells us to do something quite different. Join us today as our friend Yannick from Stockwell Baptist Church in London walks us through Psalm 103 to explore what the Bible teaches about our motivation to praise God.

The David and Goliath story is firmly set in most of our imaginations, but the message behind this story has been long misunderstood. Join us this week as we survey this deep story about how God meets us in our weakness and inadequacy with his strength and provision.

What does it look like to move at God's pace? Often we can believe God only works in fast and powerful ways, but as we will discover as we walk through the life of David, God's pace is not our pace.

God has a long history of offering hope in the midst of seemingly terrible, and hopeless situations. But, it's not always in the way that we are looking for. Join us this week at Dr. Leon Harris walks us through how the hope communicated to the nation of Israel meet us in our own hopelessness.

It's easy to import our political, intellectual, and individual agenda onto Jesus and his message, but that's nothing new. As Dr. Leon Harris expounds John 7 he shows us how we might know Jesus is the right answer, we often ask the wrong question. Join us today as we explore what it looks like to align our agenda to Jesus agenda in a way that brings light and life to our lives and the world around us.
