The Gospel of Jesus Christ is powerful to save and change people. We saw this in Cornelius' household in Acts 10. It is also powerful enough to change our attitudes towards people different from us. How does the Gospel help with this, and what can we learn from the Early Church and their struggles? This passage helps answer that question.

esus declared that we would be His witnesses to the ends of the earth (Act 1:8). This Sunday we have the opportunity to hear how God used three young men--Nate, Connor, and Jackson--to go to Costa Rica and Honduras on a three month mission trip. And we will explore what God may be calling each of us to do as well.

Do you ever feel like an outsider before God? How about before other Christians?

This passage shows us God's heart for outsiders to become insiders through the name of Jesus Christ--both before Him and the Church family.

Many of us have wrestled with this question. Let's consider what this passage and the entire Bible says about this subject.

If you are a Jesus follower, how should you approach sports?

What advice is there for student athletes? For parents of athletes? For coaches and leaders? What should we think about rivalries in sports?

Coach Mosser, head football coach at Adams Central, and coach Moser, head football coach at South Adams, help us answer these questions and more.

his Sunday, we have the opportunity to hear from Derry Prenkert who works for Bethel University, our denomination's school, in an interview. We explore these questions: is it still worth it to go to college? How can we discern God's calling at any stage in life? How do we pass on the Christian faith to the next generation? In the process, we will learn a lot about Bethel University and what God is doing there.

How can I tell if I truly have been changed by Christ?
