Biblical community is not about a church's devotion to one another—but to the Lord. The love and unity found in Biblical community is how believers grow in the Lord—and how unbelievers are drawn to the Lord.

Biblical community is not found by showing up at the same place at the same time for the same event. Biblical community is found by exposing your messy life, being embraced in Gospel love, and being invited into the messy lives of others.

Why do we pray if God already knows what we need? We pray, not because God needs help to accomplish His will, but because we need help from God to desire His will.

Prayer is far more than just asking and receiving. In prayer, we approach God—the most worthy, most powerful, most faithful Being in the world whose own character is goodness and love—with His own promises, and we call upon Him to come through on His own Word.

How can this first miracle of Jesus point us to His final moments on earth? In John 2, we look at how Jesus comes not simply to display the power of God, but also to display the Person of God—and His restoring nature.

How would your family describe your obedience to God's Word? 

In Jeremiah 32, God tells the prophet to make a seemingly unwise investment in buying a parcel of land, yet Jeremiah immediately responds in obedience. Why? Because Jeremiah's worth of God—resulting in worship—led him to sacrificial and extravagant obedience to the Word of God.

Pastor Micah Griffith shares how the Word of God stands as the authority for the church of God.

Pastor Mike Nichols shares how worship to God is not simply a part of a scheduled portion of a church service on Sunday. Worship to God is the ultimate purpose of the church every day of our lives.

A wrong view of the church will lead to failed expectations of the church. So, what is the church? What is the purpose of the church? And how does the church accomplish its purpose?

The resurrection presents a huge problem for all people. If the claims of the resurrection are false, then followers of Christ are believing and following a lie. If the claims are true, then Jesus is the risen Lord and deserves all of our worship, obedience, and love. So which is it? If it is a lie, live for today—for there is nothing awaiting us on the other side of death. If it is truth, live for the kingdom of God today—believing the best is yet to come.
