Can we discern the truth? Can we recognize the truth about Jesus Christ? Can we share that truth with our skeptical friends and neighbors?

Concluding our study of Psalm 32, we look at surrendering to God.

This week, our church is being blessed by a visit from the congregation of Grace Bible Church of Washington, IL. They have graciously taken on some major rennovation at our church, with no cost to us...and no visible benefit to them. But Pastor Adam Kipp shows us from Christ's example the WHY behind serving one another.

Pastor Jim Keller opens James 1, showing us the meaning of trials and temptations - and God's prescription for dealing with each.

Sin is a reality - but so is forgiveness in Christ. And in this forgiveness is our joy and our freedom.

Sin is a reality - one that believers acknowledge, and unbelievers will do almost anything to deny. How we acknowledge and deal with our sin reveals much about our relationship - or lack of one - with God.

"In everything, be thankful..." Paul writes. Pastor Tim looks at Ephesians 5 and other passages to draw out how this works in the day-to-day life of the Christian.

"I pause once and a while in my ministry; to make sure that what I frequently mention in passing I emphasize enough to know we all hopefully, prayerfully understand: Christ died for our sins according to Scripture, that He was buried, He rose again and whosoever shall call upon his name shall be saved."

What does God expect of us? When Christ returns, what will he look for in us?

On the issue of abortion, scripture is not silent. Pastor Tim shows from the Old Testament and the New what is God's standard for caring for the unborn; and what Christians should do in the face of modern culture.
