We are the crown that adorns creation! We will look at how being made in the image of God sets humans apart in form, faculty, and function and testifies to the greatness and power of the Creator.

Every culture has an origin story that shapes the big worldview of its members down to one’s sense of personal identity. What we believe about origins has impact on our beliefs regarding the very nature of reality. Thus at the head of Scripture it pleased the Lord to demythologize the story of the origins of the universe. Join us as we explore the majesty and care of God on display as we recount how he formed the cosmos with an eye towards that with which he would fill it.

In Scripture we are told many things. From God’s love to the promise of eternal life, everything we believe and know has been revealed to us by God in his Word. When it comes to the question of the origin of the cosmos, the question is remarkably simple: Did God intend that we should take the creation story at face value or did he not. And if he did so intend, then can he be trusted to have communicated to us what actually happened in history? Join us as we explore the length of days in the creation narrative and grow in your confidence in all of God’s Word.

The book of Genesis is a story of origins. In its pages we learn our history, the foundation of our mission, and the future that is our destiny.

Discord and conflict pervade our lives and are one of the principal characteristics of human cultures.

Join us as we learn how confidence in Christ’s sovereign lordship propels our peace in every circumstance.

In today’s passage we are called to embody the culture and values of Christ’s kingdom by living rightly ordered lives. Thus we are to value rather than denigrate hard work in our vocations.

In today’s passage the Apostle Paul transitions in this letter to practical matters. He begins with a call to action, which is in the face of a real challenge but grounded upon a real basis of confidence. Join us as we explore how God’s faithfulness is both the firmament and fuel for our faith.

The death and resurrection signify the conquest of the Son of God over the powers of darkness. Praise God for the cross and the empty tomb! In today’s passage we learn how the victory won by Christ is applied to us, assuring us of our glorious future in Christ.

In today’s message we learn why some information, but not all, has been revealed about the future. We are called to be alert and to be watchful lest we be deceived, and today’s passage gives us what we need to do this. Join us as we learn how we are encouraged and edified by the Lordship of Jesus in and through the worst the world and the devil can throw at us.

The fundamental Christian claim related to Christ is: “Jesus is Lord.” If Jesus is lord indeed, then over what is he lord? And how does his lordship affect how we understand passages such as this one? Join us as we reflect upon the present reality of Christ’s lordship with its implications for how we live in the midst of present and future difficulties.
