I Thessalonians 1:1-5

Andy Howell

When we have a certain future, we can live in a way that reflects that future. In the already and not-yet of the Kingdom of Heaven, the church is called to live as a signpost that points to the reality of that Kingdom. This happens through faith, love, and hope.

Luke 10:25-38

Chris Smith

When Jesus said that we are to "love your neighbor as yourself," what if He meant anyone who might cross our path? Serving those around us is the way strangers become neighbors and neighbors become brothers and sisters in Christ.

John 19:1-10

Pastor Jonas Wharton

If Jesus had a method of evangelism it was to eat a meal with people who were far from God. If we are to apprentice after Him, we are called to use our tables as a space for people who are far from God to experience welcome into His family.

John 8:1-11

Pastor Nate Conklin

Jesus modeled the perfect balance of grace and truth; He was accepting of everyone without approving of everything. The Kingdom of God should be a place where people can find acceptance while being challenged to live differently in light of the grace of Jesus.

Ephesians 2:1-22

The natural outflow of grace is a fundamental reorientation toward those around us. In a world that is increasingly polarized, the call of the believer is to expand our tables to include those who look, think, and act differently than we do. This is the Kingdom.

Habakkuk 3:16-19

The prophet's journey began with questions but ends with faith and determination. Maturity in Christ means being able to live in the midst of uncertainty while having a deep faith in the certainty of Jesus.

Habakkuk 3:1-16

By remembering the past work of God, we can pray in confidence about those things we desire for Him to do in the future.

Habakkuk 2:6-20

When we rest in the character of God we can be content to live in faith and hope even when we don’t understand. The only proper response before a holy God is silence and trust.

Habakkuk 2;1-4

There are only two possible ways to live in the world: living by sight, or living by faith. If we choose to live by faith, we submit our hearts and our desires before the God of the universe, and then we trust Him to do what is best.

Habakkuk 1:5-2:1

Faced with the strange and confusing action of God, Habakkuk is called back to the nature and character of God, of which He's certain. In confusing times, we are called to do the same.
