If it didn’t happen, nothing in the Bible is helpful or dependable. If it did happen, everything in the Bible is true and reliable. The resurrection is the hinge on which all of Christianity and perhaps all of human history turns.

 

Speaker: Tim Sullivan

Jesus said He’s coming back. What’s taking Him so long? What did He predict would happen before His return and what should we do now to be ready?

 

Speaker: Tim Sullivan

Where did everything come from? Are people merely a more complicated version of monkeys, fish and bacteria? Let’s look at the Bible’s explanation of where life, the universe and everything came from.

 

Speaker: Joel Garrison

Saggy pants, rat-tails, powdered wigs and men in tights are no longer in fashion. Beliefs come in and out of fashion as well. But is truth determined by popular vote? Join us as we look at some “outdated” beliefs of the Bible that are still true.

Is Hell real? How bad is it? Who goes there? Let’s dig into what Jesus says about the place many people only know as a cartoon or swear word.

 

Speaker: Joel Garrison

The world is watching us and deciding if Jesus is worth following. How we treat each other as Christians and how we act when it looks like we are losing perhaps says more than our words ever will.

 

Speaker: Tim Sullivan

Though we have been called to unity as a church, we are also instructed to draw lines and make judgments. The problem is we don’t often judge correctly and we don’t often judge the right people.

 

Speaker: Tim Sullivan

The Christian life is lived by grace. And that grace does not leave us where it found us but grows us up into living like Christ. But the Bible might define spiritual maturity differently than we do.

 

Speaker: Tim Sullivan

Everything in the church and the Christian life must be centered on and filtered through the cross. Everything changes in light of the cross. Our unity as a church hinges on Christians living a cross-centered life.

 

Speaker: Tim Sullivan

A divided church is an unhealthy church. A divided, unhealthy church is a dying church. Therefore the church must fight for unity.

Speaker: Joel Garrison

Series: The church is messy because it is full of messy people.  Yet it still is God's chosen instrument to bring light to the world. How do we reconcile the mess church can be with the perfect of God.  How do we love and serve the church in the way Christ served the church? 1 Corinthians shows us how God loves, chastens, disciplines, and restores His church even when it looks too far gone.

Sermon: If we are going to live in this world, we need to understand that God's grace is the only chance we have.  It is also the only chance others have at making it.  We must keep our own need for grace at the forefront of our minds when dealing with others.
