Founding Pastor Rick Duncan takes us into the fifth week of the summer teaching series Right With God" as he looks at Romans 4:1-25. Picture yourself in this scenario: You've been invited to the celebration at the King's palace, but all you have are rags to wear and you can't go dressed in rags. You will be put out and sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment. On your way to the prison, though, a Stranger stops the guards. He says, "Take Me instead. I will suffer in his place. I will go to prison for him." You are amazed, humbled, speechless. You were on your way to prison dressed in dirty rags that reflected your dirty heart, and now your on your way to the King's party dressed in His Son's royal robe. This is the picture of imputed righteousness as described in this chapter of Romans.

Lead Pastor Chad Allen returns to the pulpit in the fourth week of the summer 2015 teaching series "Right With God." Pastor Chad shows us this week that all have sinned. Our sin separates us from a holy and righteous God. No spiritual heritage, no amount of good works will make us right with God, only the substitutionary atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We can summarize and embrace the Gospel content of Romans 3 in these three words: Sin (all- through Adam), Substitute (Jesus- through the cross), and Surrender (You- through faith).

Founding Pastor Rick Duncan takes us into the third week of the teaching series on The Afterlife as he looks at Luke 13:22-30. Many people resist the very idea of hell because they think that a loving God would not send people to an eternal hell. They believe that a loving God cannot be a judging God. We will see that God is both a God of love and justice. There are only two kinds of people: those who say, "Thy will be be done" to God to those to whom God in the end says, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell choose it.

Lead Pastor Chad Allen guides us through the second week of The Afterlife teaching series as he looks at John 14:1-6. God has prepared a home for you and Jesus is the way to get in.

But one thing is for sure... those who get in will not be disappointed.
