Rev. Tanner Fox | Philippians 2:5-11

There is no greater characteristic worth dwelling on in the person of Jesus than His humility! It is the deepest root and most primary source of life to the great tree that is our Savior. For from this posture of humility flows all of His perfect person and work. Submission, obedience, Tenderness, Meekness, love, care, grace, sacrifice… each of these flow from the beautiful and humble heart of Christ. He takes the punishment and penalty of the pride of our lives and offers us in return His perfect peace by restoring us to the humility we were made for.

Rev. Tanner Fox | Genesis 1:26-28

Humility is the most natural posture of Adam and Eve. They did not think too little of themselves, nor too much. Their lives were full of delightful humility, knowing who they were, who made them, and what they were made for. Their lives were characterized by dependency as a feature of the great system of God’s creation, not a bug that needed to be fixed. Pride comes like a poison infecting and affecting all that is rightly ordered in the world, and we are left hopelessly self-concerned.

Rev. Alexa Rossi | Jonah 3:10; 4:1-4

Instead of being amazed by God’s power to use him to cause the city of Nineveh to repent, Jonah is angry that God would save people he hated. Jonah has missed the point completely. In light of God’s grace for me, what does God’s grace mean for others?

Rev. Alexa Rossi | Jonah 1:1-12, 17

The great story we may remember of Jonah the prophet of God being swallowed by a big fish might give us the sense that he was being punished for running away from God, but what if this is actually a means God uses to grow Jonah in grace? What does God’s grace mean for me?

Dr. Case Thorp | Jeremiah 29:4–7

As Christians we are not to pull back, avoid society, and fear what is around us. Rather, as we see with our covenant ancestors who are exiled to a foreign and hostile place, Babylon, God still desires for us to lean in, make culture, and through our daily and vocational work glorify God and be a blessing to others.

Dr. Case Thorp | Genesis 2:4-15

Many of us think that God created humans for the purpose of relationship. Yet, the Bible says otherwise. While relationship with God is rich and wonderful, and a key part of our existence, God originally made humans because He needed someone to till the Garden of Eden. How does that realization reorient our own sense of purpose, and our work-a-day lives?

Dr. Paul Gibson | Revelation 21:1-5

If Jesus had a playlist, there’s a good chance it would include bluegrass music—because so much of it points to heaven. In this message, we’ll explore how bluegrass lyrics echo biblical truths about eternity. Our goal is to inspire a deeper, more accurate understanding of heaven and awaken a renewed hope in what’s to come.

Dr. Paul Gibson | Psalm 30:1-3

If Jesus had a playlist, He would listen to The Blues. Why? Because the Blues are full of emotion and so is the Bible, especially the book of Psalms. We will reflect upon the four basic types of Psalms: praise, lament, thanksgiving, and messianic, to see emotion in Scripture. Everyone will then be challenged to create their own playlist of faith that reflects the four different types of Psalms. 

Dr. Paul Gibson | Luke 24:13-16

If Jesus had a playlist, He would listen to country music. Why? Country music tells stories, and Jesus was a storyteller. How did Jesus respond to the desperation and confusion of the two individuals on the Road to Emmaus? He told His Story from the Old Testament through the Cross. People will be encouraged to reflect on how the story of the Cross affects their lives.

Dr. Jack Peebles | Luke 10:1-12, 17-20

God’s mission moves forward through relational engagement, as we are sent together in partnership to make disciples and share the Gospel one relationship at a time.
