Pastor Ryan Cox | Encountering God | Ephesians 3:14-21 | With Easter behind us this year, we're continuing into the Encountering part of our series on Knowing & Encountering God. This week, we're studying Paul's prayer that the Ephesian Christians might have an encounter with God, and what that encounter might look like according to Paul's letter.

Aaron Mayhew | The Wrath of God | John 18:1-14 | God's wrath is not blind; like God himself, it is perfect: Justified and controlled, but consuming. When Jesus died on the cross, he interposed himself between us and God's wrath.

David Brower | A God of Love | John 3:14-18 | The expression "God is Love" has become a truism, and is spoken in so many contexts that its meaning has been watered down. Christians today must come to know and understand God's love specifically through both studying what the scriptures say about it, and experiencing it for themselves. This experience can take an act of willful surrender.

Pastor Ryan Cox | A God Who is Holy | Joshua 5:13 - 6:5 | An angel of the Lord appeared to Joshua on the eve of the Battle of Jericho and spoke to him in a way that helped Joshua to understand God's holiness. When we better understand what it means to say that God is holy, we can also understand what it means when Christians are called to be holy.

Pastor Ryan Cox | A God Who is Sovereign | Psalm 8:1-9 | God's sovereignty sometimes makes him feel distant from us. How can someone who oversees all of creation have time for an individual person? But as we learned last week, God is a god who can be known, and who knows us personally.

Pastor Ryan Cox | A God Who Can Be Known | 1 John 1:1 - 2:2 | Welcome to our new series, "Knowing and Encountering God." It can be difficult to think of the Christian God as someone who is real, knowable, and personal, yet scripture assures us that He is. One of the first steps in encountering God as knowable is to look at the person of Jesus.

David Brower | Uncommon Good: Serving Your Church | 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 | The Church has always been more than just a place where we worship and learn; the Church is the people who attend it. When we serve the Church, we're not just filling a role at an organization, we're acting as part of the body of God's people. We will close the series called Uncommon Good with a reminder that the love of God for his people, and the love of God's people to each other is at the heart of service.

Aaron Mayhew | Uncommon Good: Serving Your Neighbor | Luke 10:25-37 | Jesus gave the world an ideal example of what it means to love and provide service to your neighbor in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Although we aren't always confronted with obvious examples of when our neighbors are in need of our service, there are things we can do to be vigilant for opportunities to serve in the name of God.

David Brower | Uncommon Good: Serving at Work | Genesis 1:26 - 2:3 | The topics of work and labor are in the public spotlight right now as issues of fair pay and reasonable expectations of employers and employees alike are debated. It's a good time to remind ourselves of what the Biblical view of work is, and how the faith that Christians have should drive their attitudes and expectations about their jobs.
