The Well

The prophet Amos was something of a country preacher. A man of modest means called to take the word of the Lord to eight nations during a period of great prosperity and affluence. But it was also a time marked by greed, exploitation of the poor, and a rather severe moral decline. What was Amos’ message, and how does it apply to us today? Ron has answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Minor Prophets.”  

Everyone knows that a boomerang is supposed to come back to you when you throw it, but have you actually tried it for yourself? It turns out that it takes some practice to properly throw that boomerang without it crashing to the ground. Today, Pastor Jeff teaches you about the story of Moses, and how his life began with a giant act of faith! His mother placed her newborn son in a basket on the Nile River, entrusting him to God, and was soon rewarded as Pharaoh’s daughter enlisted her to care for her own son!

Money can be a sensitive subject, but did you know that how you handle money can reveal much about your relationship with God?  On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro is taking a biblical look at our money, and looking at our values, priorities, and loves as we continue our study of Next Steps in Following Jesus.

When we come to Christ, we indeed come as we are. But because of God’s abundant goodness and grace, we don’t have to stay that way! And on this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy explains the gracious gift of growth available to us in Christ, and what we must do to receive it.

In today's Q&A episode, Mark tackles some more tough questions submitted by listeners about raising teens and young adults.

He addresses the importance of launching teens into independence, building healthy grandparent relationships, and finding balance between authoritative and lenient parenting styles. He encourages parents and grandparents to prioritize strong relationships, communicate effectively and aim for growth — for their kids and themselves.
