We live in what some call a "post Truth society". Join us this week as we look at 1 Corinthians 13 to see how we, as disciples of the One who is THE TRUTH, can be an oasis of truth in a confused world.

In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus calls us to love our neighbors and our enemies, even in the context of politics. Needless to say, enemy love is not found on any political platform.

Politicians and media personalities try to manipulate your votes and eyeballs by making you afraid. This is nothing new. This week we look at Isaiah 8 where we find an ancient example of how to be faithful amidst a political climate dominated by fear.

How should you respond when someone hurts you? This week we look at a famous teaching of Jesus in Matthew 18:21-35 and learn why citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven practice forgiveness like our King.

U mad bro? The political industrial complex hopes the answer is yes! But according to the New Testament, anger is rarely your friend and usually your enemy.

Why do you do the things you do? Are your words, actions, and attitudes determined by your upbringing, circumstances, or something else? This week we dive into Jeremiah 17:1-10 and see why the answer is found in the trees and what this has to do with the 2024 election cycle.

As we go through life, we must keep lifting our head out of the water and putting our eyes on this “pier.” We must view every experience and circumstance in our lives as an opportunity, allowed by God, to make us more like Jesus.

Disciples of Jesus are representatives of the King Himself and they should be treated accordingly. This week we wrap up our study of Matthew 10 and consider why serving others is the most rewarding life to live.

What does Psalm 1 tell us about meditating?

This week Ryan teaches what meditations is in a scriptural context.

There is only room for one King in your life. Will you bend the knee to Jesus or the good things of the world? Choose wisely, this is a matter of life and death. There is no middle ground, you must count the cost and choose whether you will bow to Jesus as your God and King or else totally reject him.
