In this passage we take a look at the end of Paul's first missionary journey. He didn't just head home when he got to the end of the route; he went back and visited all the places he'd been. His mission wasn't just conversion, it was discipleship.

Youth Director, Joey Weber, gives a message about the influence parents' have in their children's lives.

The starting point for the Christian faith is grace. We need to recognize ourselves as sinners in order to understand the role of the Savior.

A substitute: Someone who goes in for someone else. Atonement: paying a price to make something right—to satisfy justice. Substitutionary atonement: Easter.

History is God’s story. He is active and involved. He is sovereign. He’s got a plan. He loves this world and he’s not going to give up on it now.

Spiritual opposition; we have an enemy, but he has been defeated.

Romans 1:25 - Will Herron, Discipleship Director, shares a message about how to recognize and resist letting the good things in our lives come before God.

There was a lot of diversity in the early church, just as there is in our world today. We are to be agents of reconciliation in this world…so filled with his love for us that we demonstrate love for others despite our differences.
