Scripture is the very word of God, designed to be exactly what God intends to communicate to His people. By it we see that we fall short of the perfect standards God has established for His people. It can be devastating to hear, but take heart, His word also describes God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.

Once the job God has called us to is done, it's easy to fall into complacency and think we can coast along. The fact is that we have an enemy who tirelessly seeks to destroy that good work, both from the outside and in. How do we guard our hearts, our lives and the Church against sabotage from the enemy?

We often feel like we're caught in this world's unstoppable current. It rushes past with a roar, ready to sweep us off our feet. But God provides a bedrock for us to stand firmly upon and that's His truth. This Sunday, we'll look at how Nehemiah discovered how God kept him safe when he anchored himself to truth.

God has designed an incredible asset for those who believe in Him, and that's community. Fellow believers, He designed for us to love and relate to each other as family, just as we would love and relate to Him. Here's why it's so important that we stay connected to the Body of Christ.

Spiritual warfare is a fact of life for every believer. But we can take heart, because we serve a God who is capable of equipping us for victory. How do we prepare for the accuser's attacks, and How do we counteract them?

Wherever we are in life, no matter who is in authority, or the challenges we may be facing, we can be assured that God is still in control, and has placed us in our current position for His purpose and His glory. How then should we live? How should we pray?

Israel's rebellion led to their destruction. Their city, their security and their way of life. But we can see the God is a God of redemption, of second chances and restoration for those who turn away from their own ways and turn to Jesus. How do we fix our minds on God so that we can return to Him and be restored?

We are privileged to welcome Brad Buser, a dynamic speaker, retired missionary and founder of Radius International. Following God's call, Brad and his wife Beth took the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Iteri, an unreached remote tribe in Papua New Guinea. Over the course of two decades, the Busers learned the tribe's language, taught the people to read and write a written version of it, translated the scriptures into this language and planted a church. This Sunday, Brad joins us to share his story and to encourage us as a church to challenge people to consider giving their lives to reach those who've never heard the name of Christ.

Our consumer-driven culture is one that expects to be served on our terms. Part of the countercultural beauty of Christianity is that God has instructed and equipped us to be servants of God and others. But why? Why is it so important to God that His people serve Him and each other?
