God Talk

Today will be a difficult topic, but we ask you to stick it out and listen for God speaking through His Word to your life today. We're talking about the Christian response to government and authority as described in Scripture: rendering back to Caesar that which is Caesar's, and rendering to God that which is God's. What does that mean? How does that change us? "Hold on, does that mean we're supposed to..." Wait. No, really, listen. The Word of God speaks, if you choose to have ears to hear. Ask for guidance. Ask for clean hands and a pure heart. May the God of grace and peace and justice rule the day.

Scriptures today: Matthew 22:15-22 // Ephesians 6:1-8 // Romans 13:1-7 // Deuteronomy 12:8

Understanding the triune God is beyond us: just like a 2D sheet of paper would struggle to grasp a 3D cube, we don't have a frame of reference for the nature of the God we worship. We relate to the Son, but it's only by the power of the Spirit that we do so. Today, Pastor Greg unpacks how we do that and what steps to take to know the Spirit more deeply.

I am ending 2020 with a full out rant over some of the things that are bugging me the most as we close out 2020. If you are easily offended don't listen.

How would you describe God? He's not an easy concept to explain because... well, He's more than a concept! The God we serve is eternal, all-powerful, and all-knowing, and we finite beings can only understand a tiny bit of who He is. Even so, He has chosen to reveal key aspects of His nature to us, and in our new series, we're going to explore who we know Him to be.

Today, in the spirit of the season, John Alvis shares an exciting message of who Jesus is and gently reminds us that knowledge requires action.

Revelation 13 speaks that a time will come that people will have to have a certain mark on them in order to be able to buy or sell. Are we headed in that direction?

People often refer to the God of the Old Testament versus somehow he is a little more chill in the New Testament. Is this true?

We have a fine line to walk, here. On the one hand, Galatians 6:2 says that we should "carry one another's burdens," but three verses later is a reminder: "each man should carry his own load." We strive to strike the balance between helping those around us and not letting them take advantage of us. How do we find the right solution to each problem?

Jesus was surrounded by opportunities to serve, and He did. In examining His ministry on Earth, we can catch a glimpse of what it means to have healthy compassion. Join us for a dive into scriptural application for your life!

What is your "Bulwark"? A bulwark is a defense wall. During times of high anxiety and storms in life our normal defense wall is not based upon God so the results of our defense wall will not be effective. But a bulwark is most effective when it is based upon true faith and an understanding that God is "near."
