Join Kyle Strickland and Missy Edgmon as they have an extended conversation about the worldwide phenomenon show Squid Game, why it is so popular, and what to make of it.

Equity and unity are forced commodities in a world without Jesus. Hear Jesus' answer for a fractured and divided world in Kyle's final message from our series "Questioning Jesus," from Acts 1.

 A small coin becomes a showdown between Jesus and Rome, and the answer that Jesus gives to this week's question is a challenge we still need to hear, from Luke 20:20-26, in our series "Questioning Jesus."

Nicodemus had seen it all before - the political climate of Judea produced a messiah-a-minute. His polite conversation with Jesus, though, erupted into a diagnosis for which he wasn't ready. Kyle Strickland shows us how carefully Nicodemus' question, and Jesus' response, was not only a diagnosis for Nicodemus, but also for us, in the latest from our series "Questioning Jesus."

A man accustomed to power and wealth asked Jesus what he could do to inherit eternal life. Jesus required something of him that wasn't possible, especially next to what Jesus had just given away. Kyle Strickland shows us the battle between power and influence from Luke 18, in the latest from the series "Questioning Jesus."

"Who is my neighbor?" is one of the most famous questions Jesus answered - and he answered it with what we know as the Parable of the Good Samaritan. His answer, of course, concerned itself with the compassion that was shown, a compassion now under assault. Kyle Strickland walks us through Jesus' answer, and the assault on compassion, in the third message of our Uplift message series called "Questioning Jesus."

Is Jesus for real? Who says? The answer to those questions is found in a significant event in Jesus' life, and his answer has not lost its relevancy .

The first recorded question ever asked of Jesus is "What do you want with us?" This is not an unfamiliar question - we ask it of Jesus often, perhaps without expecting an answer.
