We continue our exploration of inspiring and beautiful relationships found in the Bible with those relations not by blood, but marriage, which create an extended family.  Culture often frames in-law relationships as trying even painful, but the Bible gives us a glimpse into a healthier, holier, and transformative relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.  […]

Our first relationship our next Worship series will explore is that of a married couple: Isaac and Rebekah.  Of all the marriages in the Bible, theirs is one of a few that is described with the word “love.”  What difference does that make?  How can we be inspired to rethink marriage in light of what […]

Join us this week for Trinity Sunday, a day to marvel at and celebrate the holy mystery of the Trinity: the perfect unity of Three in One.  While the title “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible, the three Persons do, especially in the Apostle Paul’s final letter before he was martyred.  We will explore […]

All of us come to experience the pain of exclusion, whether as children, youth, or adults.  As we wrestle with theologies that widen the circle or shut the doors, we often gain perspective into ourselves.  What may God reveal to you as we embark on a journey to discover whether we should define our God […]

People have been debating when the world will end since before Jesus was born, and there are still a great many Christians who continue this debate.  Does it really matter what we think or believe about the end of human history?  Yes!  Come and see how it affects everything from how you live to how […]
