In this episode, we continue in our series on the Gospel of John by looking at John chapter two. It's here that we discover Jesus' first miracle as well as his mission. Ultimately, Jesus came to bring life out of death and participating in that requires obedience that is rooted in faithful resistance.

In this episode, we kick-off a brand new series on the Gospel of John. This message explores John chapter one as well as John's intent for his gospel (John 20:30-31). We learn that John's gospel isn't merely a biography about Jesus, but its purpose is mean to form us as a people.

In this episode, we conclude our series "The Gospel" by talking about how the gospel ultimately results in restoration. We learn that at its heart, the gospel is not a proposition to believe, but an invitation to accept. This invitation is to a person, a reality, and a new way of life.

In this episode we continue in our series the gospel by talking about the church. The message traces the continuation of the overall gospel story--and the role of the church in that story-- but also invites us to think about how we, as the church, foster intentional Christ-centered community.

This episode is from our Easter service. Here, we continue in our series on "The Gospel" by looking at the role of Jesus as the Messiah. We examine two major images in the OT--the suffering servant and the Messiah as a conquering king--and see how in Jesus, these two figures merge. The truth that Easter proclaims is that an event has taken place... and everything is now different.

In this episode, we examine the Gospel Story and the Exile event. Now, the exile was a source of pain, loss, and heartache for the people of Israel. But it's also a story that ends with a sense of hope. God had not abandoned his people but was continuing his plan of making the world right. We see this with the arrival of Jesus--that through Jesus' death and resurrection, God has enacted this plan. And because of this, we can trust God with our lives, even when we find ourselves in seasons of exile.

In this episode, we explore how the Gospel is related to the Temple. As the story unfolds, what becomes clear is that God has always been in the business of meeting people where they are. And the same is true for us today.

We are continuing in our series "The Gospel" examining the story of the gospel we find in Scripture. In this episode, we take a look at the people of Israel beginning with the story of Abraham. We learn this important truth that comes up throughout the story: God chose to embark on his plan to set the world right by working with humans.

In this episode, we begin examining the gospel story that is found throughout Scripture, starting in the book of Genesis. The opening pages of the creation story reveal that God has created a good world with people as his image bearers. The writer of Genesis presents this story in temple language, and reminds us that God's plan for creation is flourishing as we live in connection with God and each other.

This is the first message in our new series "The Gospel." We begin by talking through the initial story of the gospel and the fact that the gospel is so much bigger than what we typically make it out to be. Further, Scott gives a definition for the gospel that we will use throughout this series.
