For some, faith comes easily. For others, it's a struggle. In this message, we look at Jesus' encounter with a skeptic--an honest and hopeful story that helps us navigate doubt, cynicism, and the surprising beauty of faith and community.

Our Exploring Faith series begins with a fascinating figure Jesus once called the greatest person who had ever lived. John the Baptist embodied rare courage, clear purpose, and deep humility—yet even he wrestled with moments of uncertainty. How did he navigate faith in seasons of confidence as well as confusion, and what might his story reveal for our own search for faith today?

Modern readers sometimes assume Jesus' original followers readily welcomed the news of his resurrection because they were gullible. The New Testament Easter narratives tell a different story--one that strikes a fair-minded reader as both historically reliable and psychologically authentic, inviting us to consider both its plausibility and significance today, rather than dismissing it as an idle tale.

As we come to Christ, we (the church) are like living stones being built in various ways into a spiritual house, with Christ as the cornerstone. Peter invites all to reflect on our identities in the eyes of God, and to respond with praise and witness.

At the end of Acts, the gospel's message reaches the imagined ends of the earth, the city of Rome. Here Paul prepares to plant the future of the church, a community built on the extreme hope of Christ's message for all people in all times.

When the winds shift and the inevitable storms of life come our way, how can we navigate them in ways that bring beauty and hope instead of darkness and despair?

The Apostle Paul's conversion story appears three times in Acts. Why would Luke devote so much space to one life-changing moment? Here we'll explore what this story reveals about life, faith, transformation, and the kind of church we want to be.

Suffering often creates crisis, but crisis can be an invitation to clarify the sources of our hope. Isn't life about more than survival? How do we find a life rich with purpose, even and especially in the face of suffering?

It seems so easy to let our differences divide us. We feel comfort in surrounding ourselves with similar opinons, looks, backgrounds, and abilities to ours. This passage is just one of many examples that displays the deep unity the early church held, across differences, as the people clung to their commitment to the message of Jesus.

Aaron Foster | Pastor

Do you find it hard to "be present?" The early church practiced presence by honestly situating their past and prayerfully entrusting their future to God. In so doing, they were able to find newfound availability for both God and one another.
