Join us as we learn to ask better questions of Scripture and uncover the deeper truth about a God who loves us at great cost to himself.

Scripture is always speaking just two words: "do" and "done"—law and gospel. In this message, we'll walk through Ephesians 5:22-33, one of the Bible's most misunderstood passages on marriage, and uncover how Paul renovates patriarchy with the gospel.

Concluding our "I Love My Church" series with a powerful message about the centrality of God's Word in our lives.

Who gets excited about Sundays? If you're honest, getting to church can feel like a battle, especially with kids.

When we gather for worship, four incredible things happen: (1) Christ is actively working among us, (2) the outside world is welcomed and honored, (3) our faith comes alive, getting out of our heads and into the real world, and (4) we are being reformed by God's counter-algorithm, reshaping what the world has deformed in us Monday through Saturday.

Want to love your church in worship more? Keep tabs on your struggles during the week so you come hungry, prepare on Saturday night, make friends, and erase the equation; just commit to consistency. Most importantly, shift your focus from the trappings of worship back to what's at the center: Jesus, who sees you, forgives you, and loves you completely.

There's a pizza place in Times Square that used to be a vibrant, mission-driven church called Gospel Tabernacle. Now, instead of a pulpit, there's a brick oven. It's a sobering reminder that while being part of a local church is a gift, it's a gift that must be protected.

In Hebrews 10, we're called to "stir one another up to love and good works", to be a church in action through mercy (relieving pain), justice (righting wrongs), and beauty (displaying God's glory). When we do this, we offer a compelling witness to a watching world, bring a glimpse of heaven to earth, and give people the purpose they're desperately searching for.

May we always be a Jesus place and never, on our watch, become just a pizza place.

What was Jesus like as a 12-year-old? We don't know for sure, but Luke 2:40-52 gives us a rare glimpse into Jesus' childhood that reveals profound truths about who He is and who we are.

We see Jesus listening to religious leaders in the temple, not because they had perfect theology but because He shows up for sinners like us out of love. We also see Jesus submitting to His parents, demonstrating that submission isn't something to fear but a good gift designed by God for our relationships.

Most importantly, this passage reveals the difference between humanity and Christ: we have no spiritual power but crave control, while Jesus has all power but yielded control, submitting to the Father's will so He could go to the cross and restore our relationship with God.

A lot has changed since Jesus was 12, but one thing remains constant: His unchanging, undeserved, unconditional, unending love for you.
