The 2019 Advent Season has begun! Each week we'll start with an advent reading (along with a candle lighting), followed by a teaching on one of the advent "virtues". We begin with "Hope".

Each week, we'll also watch a short advent video from The Bible Project. Watch the "Hope" video here.

New Life Detroit Missionary, Sue, shares how Jesus' instruction to pray shamelessly, audaciously, and persistently has influenced her lately. [Due to the potentially sensitive nature of her missions work, Sue's last name and location have been censored in the recording].

If you're interested in giving toward Sue's missionary work, you can make a gift at Reliant.org/Su.Sa

When social media, the news, work, and relationships all seem to be adding to our anxiety, is there any hope? Kevin reflects on Jesus' words from Matthew 6, and invites Ciara Linden to share what she has learned from her personal journey with anxiety.

Jesus taught his disciples a prayer that we know today as “The Lord’s Prayer”. This week, we’re doing more than talking about prayer: we’re practicing it. As you listen along, there will be opportunities to pause and pray on your own as we follow the pattern of the Lord’s prayer.

In Matthew 6, Jesus urges his followers to reconsider whose praise they are seeking when they do "good deeds" or practice "spiritual disciplines". First, he addresses giving to the needy.

Of all the "upside-down" ways of The Kingdom, Jesus' command to "love your enemies" may be the most unconventional. 

Important content note: While Jesus calls his followers to be abundantly forgiving, even to their enemies, we do not believe this is a command to  tolerate abusive situations. If you need help dealing with an abusive or unhealthy relationship situation, please contact [email protected].

The powerful goodness of human sexual desire makes it vulnerable to powerful corruption. When lust offers a cheap alternative to beautiful sexual desire, Jesus teaches his followers to take severe action to guard themselves.

In Matthew 5, Jesus "raises the bar" and teaches his disciples that it's not enough only to resist violent actions: the anger within our hearts must also be dealt with. And when conflict comes between two people, dealing with that conflict becomes a surprisingly high priority.
