Opposition Refines the Church – Persecution of Christians in the first century kept the early church focused, faithful, and to a certain extent pure. Most Christians in America don’t face those same attacks today. The danger for us oftentimes is complacency. Today we’ll see how opposition fueled the early church, and how we should respond to the freedom we enjoy.

The Great Commission – As followers of Jesus, we believe the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus are the most important events in history. But after the adrenaline of that weekend so long ago, what came next? What did Jesus have in mind for His disciples after He completed His mission on earth? Truth is, He had a whole new agenda for them post-resurrection, and it’s one we need to embrace now that Easter is over.

Greater than Our Blindness – When we think of blindness, we often think of those totally blind, legally blind, color blind. Jesus healed a man who had been born blind, and his life was never the same. But there is also a pervasive spiritual blindness in the Bible text for today, and certainly rampant in the world today. Jesus is far more concerned about that, and we should be too. We’ll talk about that today, and what we should do about it.

Walking on Water – Jesus’ miracles often addressed things like sickness, demon possession, even death. Today’s miracle alleviated fear: The fear of the disciples in general, and Peter in particular. Whether our fear comes from worry, danger, or some kind of emergency, Jesus stands with us, right in the middle of it.

Greater than our Weakness – In the New Testament, Jesus worked amazing miracles. Many people experience the miraculous power of Jesus today, He is still very much at work in the world. But what about the times we don’t get a miracle? What does it mean when God says No to our prayers? We’ll talk about that today.

Water to Wine — “Greater than our Need” – Most believers take their big problems to Jesus, but we’re tempted to think the little things aren’t important enough to trouble Him with. Jesus launched His world-changing, salvation-delivering ministry by changing water into wine so that a newlywed couple wouldn’t be humiliated. The truth is, if it matters to you, it matters to Jesus. Because He loves us, we can take everything to Him.

Forgiveness – If you are a Christian, then forgiveness is a required course, not an elective. Jesus taught that God forgives us as we forgive others. How we show grace impacts how we receive grace. The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant offers positive insights from a negative example.
