"Meaning in life is found in loving God and loving others."

In week 3 of our series, The Big Four, we consider the question, "What is my purpose in life?" Join us as we discuss why we're all so unhappy at work and how we can go about changing that. Spoiler alert: we think Jesus is the key to finding your purpose, and not for the reason you think!

"You are a human being, not a human doing."

We're so excited to be kicking off our new series, The Big Four! This week, we tackle our first Big Question: "Who am I?" Pastor Doug Hankins gives us a crash course in existential philosophy and breaks down why the Apostle Paul's view of human identity is essential to having a meaningful relationship with Jesus.

"Love always changes us, and change is always painful."

It looks like we've come to the end of the road (no pun intended). So, to conclude The Naked Truth, we're appropriately talking about breaking up - when to do it, how to do it well, and why we shouldn't be scared of it.

Join us next Tuesday as we kick off The Big Four, a series about the questions we are all asking and why answering them is a life and death matter. 7 PM at The Table. We're saving you a seat!

"If you're lonely and you get married, you'll be lonely and married. Marriage isn't a solution for loneliness. Community is."

This week's issue of The Naked Truth includes a summary of Victorian betrothal traditions, a comparison of Old Testament and New Testament marriage practices, and an Excel spreadsheet with a step-by-step financial plan for marriage.

"We get in to trouble when we confuse who we are with where we are."

Here's The Naked Truth: nobody is born married. Singleness is not only the default disposition for human beings, but it was the position that Jesus lived his life in. Why, then, do we treat our singleness like a problem we need to solve?

Doug Hankins teaches out of Galatians 3 and explains why staring at people's crotches was a thing in the 1990s. Plus, Jason and the band perform "As Long As You Love Me." Yes, you read that right. The Backstreet Boys song.

"Abide: believing, moment to moment, that you are loved by God, and trusting that His Word is true."

If you're reading this, you have problems in your life. We do too. Contemporary philosopher Julia Michaels puts it this way: "Cause I got problems, but you got 'em too. So give 'em all to me, and I'll give mine to you." The question is - what do we do with our problems?

Isaac Trevino (@ittrevino) leads our conversation on John 15 and Jesus' instructions to his disciples to "abide" in Him. Beware: this Table talk includes hand motions and a few cheesy dad jokes.

We're finally back!

To kick off the first Table of the year, Pastor Doug Hankins (@doughankins) teaches from a parable in Luke and talks about the first time he ever enjoyed a party. We break down our theme for the year and focus on a core habit that we're called to practice in the Kingdom of God: to bless out of our brokenness.

Alcohol - arguably the most abused drug on the planet and a cause of much of society's suffering. As Christians, how do we let Jesus renew our alcohol consumption? Is there a way to redeem mankind's relationship to the substance?

In this talk, David Branch teaches out of Ephesians 5, dissecting Paul's wisdom for how Christians are to engage with alcohol, and recounting his own story of personal renewal.

Let's talk about sex! Specifically, let's talk about how Jesus-followers are called to live out their sexuality, according to the Apostle Paul. His take? "Be imitators of God, as beloved children." Pastor Doug Hankins breaks it down into three parts:

(1) Don't imitate the world's view of sexuality.

(2) Don't imitate Christian culture's view of sexuality.

(3) Imitate the pattern of God.
