1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 - Almost every group of people in the world is performance based. That is, in order to be a part of the group you must bring something of value to it. The Church is meant to be utterly unique in this regard. Our inclusion is based on grace, not on our performance. Ironically, the more we embrace this the more we'll "bring to it."

2 Samuel 5:13-16 - The story of David and life lessons as told through the naming of three sons: Elishama (God hears), Eliada (God knows), and Eliphelet (God delivers). May our lives be aligned with God's heart as well.

1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13 - The gospel rearranges priorities in the life of the believer. In this message we will see how God will stretch the life of His people for the sake of the church.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 - God changes lives through the gospel, and then he uses those changed lives to change other lives. In this message we'll consider how the gospel, and its power to change lives, gives shape to the church.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 - The most basic thing that could be said about the church is this: it's about God. What does it look like for a church to be truly God-centered?

Matthew 22:41-46 - When asked whose son the Christ would be, the Pharisees were partly right. Being partly right works for many things, but when it comes to Jesus, being partly right puts you on the wrong side of Christianity.

Matthew 22:23-33 - We often focus so much on what we think we know about scripture that we miss the bigger picture.

Matthew 21:1-22:14 - Jesus enters into Jerusalem for the third time in Matthew 21. First, he came as a king. Then he came as a priest. Now he comes as a prophet.

Matthew 21:1-17 - The most important question you could ever ask is "who is Jesus?" Matthew's account of what is often referred to as "the triumphant procession" gives us a lot of answers to that question, and some of them may surprise you.

Matthew 20:17-34 - Jesus' teachings continually assault our self-importance and self-centeredness; leading us to a kind of life that is truly great.
