Bo Noonan invites us into the tension of the story of Ruth 2 as Naomi interprets her loss as evidence that God is against her. Yet, the quiet rays of God’s hesed begin breaking through—most vividly in Ruth’s stubborn, covenantal love. The story echoes Advent, which begins in the dark as God himself moves toward His people in grace.

Andy Cooley introduces our new Advent series: Ruth--A Nativity Story, a story that begins in famine, tragedy, and spiritual decline. Yet in the darkness, there is always hope as we return to the Father's house.

Bo Noonan closes the Under Construction series by calling us to make space for a Spirit-filled life. The same Spirit that empowered Jesus now gives believers diverse gifts of love, word, and power for the common good. The church’s goal is not success or size, but maturity, unity, and love as each member uses their gifts to reveal God’s presence and serve others.

Dawson Jones invites us to to build intentional “trellises” — daily habits and spiritual disciplines — that help us abide in Jesus and be transformed into his likeness rather than conformed to the world. True change comes not from trying harder but from training through consistent spiritual practices that align our hearts with what we truly want — to be with Jesus, become like him, and do what he did.

Bo Noonan calls the church to live as apprentices of Jesus by waging war against the power of money through sacrificial giving. Giving is an act of defiance against the powers of this world, a joyful act of worship that frees us from serving two masters, and worthwhile investment in God’s eternal Kingdom.

Bo Noonan invites us to make room to live as witnesses to Jesus—witness that flows from who we are: a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. We are called to represent God to the world with humility, love, and integrity, even when misunderstood or opposed.

Bo Noonan invites us to make room to put ourselves in places where we can experience moments of encounter with God—like Jacob’s wrestling with God in Genesis 32—that mark and transform us. While long-term growth happens through consistent faithfulness, these divine moments can accelerate change, awaken purpose, and remind us of God's power and presence in personal, unforgettable ways.

Bo Noonan encourages us to make room in our lives to gather regularly and joyfully, both to worship and be formed together. The church is an embassy, an outpost of God's kingdom where believers are stirred to love and perseverance as they display God's glory to the world.

Bo Noonan invites us to walk by the Spirit, not the flesh, and to reject a self-centered approach to life in favor of sharing the work of building a loving, grace-filled church community. Serving others isn’t a burden that limits freedom, but the fruit and expression of a heart set free by Jesus.

Bo invites us to remember that Jesus promised to fill us with his Spirit and to ask, "do we have room in our lives for God's presence—for his power, revelation, and glory?"
