Message #5 – SERIES: Covenant

Abram was a sinful and idolatrous man for most of his life before meeting Jesus. God rescues him from his sin and calls him to follow him, leaving everything he ever knew at the ripe old age of 75. God would give Abram a son by the womb of his barren wife, Sarai. He changes their names to Abraham and Sarah and through their line in Isaac promises a coming Redeemer in Jesus. Though he was sinful and often full of doubt, God drew near to Abraham time and time again in covenant love as his protector and great reward.

Message #4 – SERIES: Covenant

The story of Noah is the story of the Gospel. Noah is saved by God's grace, and his rescue foreshadows our own rescue by Jesus. God's covenant with Noah demonstrates his relentless pursuing love and his vow to keep his promises—both to those who trust Jesus and to those who reject Jesus.

Message #4 of 4 - SERIES: Money: God or Gift?

Jesus demonstrates both his compassion and his authority in this passage. While he desires to serve us, he requires we remain faithful. We are to wait ready for his return, stewarding our lives, our time, talent, and treasure until the Master returns. (And he is returning!) Would you live and give in the same way if you believed Jesus were returning tomorrow?

For Fathers' Day 2011 we taught from Ephesians 6:1-4, encouraging all fathers to be their family's pastor. We also gave out a copy of the book "Pastor Dad" by Mark Driscoll to all of the men that morning. You can download a free PDF of "Pastor Dad" at theresurgence.com.

Message #20 of 22 – SERIES: Colossians: Jesus is First

In this week's study, Paul teaches on Jesus being First outside the home, addressing the relationships between a slave and their master. In our context, this will correspond most to our work place (be it a formal job, a volunteer position, or an informal job inside the home). Jesus is First at Work.
