Dr. David Swanson | As we establish the basics of prayer, we have to understand at the outset not to always expect the answer we want. Sometimes the answer is no. When it is, we continue to trust in the grace and goodness of God. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Dr. David Swanson | Solomon's dedicatory prayer in the temple helps set the tone for why we pray.  We are addressing the Lord, the Creator of the Universe.  We have that access and ability, and as such, there should be an urgency about us in that endeavor.  We pray for God's people, for His Church, for forgiveness, and for the lost. 1 Kings 8:22-23, 30, 35-36

Rev. Tanner Fox | The only thing missing from God's good creation in Genesis 2 was another person for Adam to share it with. Though Adams' horizontal relationship with the Lord was good, he still experienced the sense of feeling incomplete. This week we will look at the idea of Biblical friendship and how we need the relationships to be known and loved, particularly in times like these. John 15:13

Alexa Rossi | Our unity with Christ requires formation into his likeness. We must grow into his stature in affections, actions, and thinking as displayed in relation to our neighbors. We must throw off the old self which is made possible in the accomplished work of Jesus and put on the new self which we find embodied in the ways of Jesus. Ephesians 4:17-32

Dr. David Swanson | The enemy has power, the enemy is wicked, the enemy has tactics, schemes and deception. God gives us the armor as protection - offensive & defensive. Prayer is essential in conquering the enemy. We need to be aware and alert to the enemy's schemes, while we continue boldly proclaiming the gospel. Dwell on the glory & grace of God. Ephesians 6:10-24

Tyler Wilson | Paul's moral commands for marriage point us to the reality of God's grand story. We are called to submit due to our sinful hearts, called to be faithful in light of Christ's pursuit of us, and called to be sanctified in light of the great and glorious return of Christ. Marriages can remind us of the great truths of the gospel. Ephesians 5:21-33

Dr. David Swanson | The family unit is the building block of culture, and the primary metaphor God uses to describe His church and His people. ---Husbands + Wives | Parents + Children | Roman Empire + Slavery --- Equality, Justice & True Brotherhood in the Body. Ephesians 6:1-9

Dr. Jack Peebles | God’s example of love in Jesus is the way of the Christian. While the world in which we live seems as decisive as it’s ever been, and it’s easy to get caught up in the “cancel-culture” that pervades the world of social media, we are called to walk a different path- one of goodness, righteousness, and truth. Yes, we are called to hold one another accountable (through relationships of radical affection and accountability), but our desire in doing so is so that the light of Jesus may shine. This week, we will explore what it means to be “wise” as we seek the will of God for our lives as revealed in Ephesians. Ephesians 5:1-20

Jonathan Wagner | Overcoming the barriers that prevent us from following God and remaining together in our calling. Exodus 3:3-10

Dr. David Swanson | Sermon is on getting engaged - participating - in the Kingdom work of God EVEN IN COVID - my role is to equip - but they have been scattered - so what might God be calling them to do? Ephesians 4:1-16
