*Guest Speaker*  During a recent weekend service, our Next-Gen Pastor Jared Carline spoke from Acts chapter 8 in a message entitled “Joy in the Midst of Trials”.  Are you struggling with a difficult situation or challenging season in your life?  What truths do you need to cling to when life’s troubles come?  (Acts 8:1-25)

School choice is one of the hottest issues of the day, especially in Christian circles.  What education is best suited for your child in today’s secular climate? Is it public school, Christian school, or perhaps homeschool?  What should Christian parents think about education and school choice?  (TRUTH & LOVE, conclusion)

The subject of immigration continues to be front and center in our world today, with some people saying "Build the wall higher", and others saying "Let everyone in without exception." But what should Christians say? How do we approach this complicated issue with truth and love?  (TRUTH & LOVE, part 4) 

Every Christian is engaged in the battle between darkness and light—truth and error.  Have you settled into a comfortable Christianity? Have you forgotten that the Christian life isn’t a playground, but a battleground?  What is true for you and every other Christian when it comes to this cosmic battle?   (VBS Finale Sunday: Keepers of the Kingdom)

Our nation is experiencing a transgender revolution, where heated battles over gender and sexuality are spilling over into board rooms, classrooms, court rooms, and locker rooms. As Christians, how can we see clearly through all the confusion and speak an answer that points broken people to the good news of Jesus Christ?  (TRUTH & LOVE, part 3) 

Ever since Genesis chapter 3, Satan has been a master of division— and one of his most powerful weapons is dividing people by race and skin color. What do we say about racism from a Christian worldview?  Why is the idea of racial superiority so wrong and so contrary to the gospel of Jesus?  (TRUTH & LOVE, part 2)

In today’s secular climate, some Christians think it’s time to “fight fire with fire”. With that strategy, you adopt whatever methods your opponent uses and give it right back to them. But does that approach align with the truth and temperament of Jesus?  How do you approach a culture that is swirling with moral chaos?  (TRUTH & LOVE, part 1)

In a world that overflows with dangerous doctrines, angry critics, and immoral lifestyles, even Christians can feel unsettled and uncertain.  At the close of John’s letter, he points to five certainties where Christians can stand confidently. How can you stand secure in a culture that’s filled with falsehoods and frauds?   (Authentic Christianity, part 13)

In today’s world, the self-help industry is a 10 billion dollar business, because Americans are desperate to know how to live better and be better. But what is the secret to a dynamic Christian life? Is it really a hidden secret that only some Christians can uncover?  (Authentic Christianity, part 12)

In today’s world, some people get frustrated or cynical when churches constantly talk about the subject of love. "Can’t we just do church without all this focus on love?" they ask. The real question is, are they right?  Why is love so critical for our Christian lives and local churches? (Authentic Christianity, part 11)
