Studying the context, words, and implications of Luke 2, Mike Beckham encourages us with the reality of God coming to earth in a shocking way. Reflection questions: What do the circumstances of Jesus' birth reveal about the relationship God desires with you? How will more embracing these truths (that Jesus was a servant King & empathizes with us in every way) impact your relationship with God?

On Family Weekend, Kevin taught on repentance and the act of making Jesus the Lord of our life. We saw that we cannot obey God on our own, but how salvation should lead to obedience. In Romans 1 and Luke 6, we see that God's grace helps us withstand life's storms and motivates our obedience.

In our 3rd week breaking down the good news, or "Gospel," Mike Beckham teaches on Grace and Mercy.

In Week 2 of our series on the Gospel, Kevin teaches on Genesis 2, 3, and 5 to show us why we truly need a Savior. The fact that you have never met a "good person" comes from the fact that all of us fall short and "sin" against God's perfect standard. The result is physical, spiritual, and eternal death and separation from God. However, God created a way through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection to save us.

During week 1 of our series on the elements of the Gospel, Kevin answers the question: Who is God? Our response to God depends on what we believe about Him. If God is our Creator, we should revere Him. If He is our Provider, we must thank Him. Since God is our Ruler, we should trust Him. God is our Savior, so we praise Him! Kevin uses Acts 17 to show us how Paul describes God to the Greeks in Athens.

As the school year begins, Kevin teaches on the importance of committing to a body of believers. In Romans 12, we are encouraged and commanded to use our God-given gifts to build up the Church. Wherever God leads you to call your church family, we believe God desires you to look for ways to serve, not to be served. Find a local church and start investing today!

At our Fall Kickoff, Kevin dives into what the "College Life" should look like: not a self-centered "experience," but a real encounter with God that leads to loving Him and His people.

Taking a break from our series on 1 John, Kevin Choate teaches through 2 Corinthians 5:13-21 on Christian's new identity as strangers on earth. We are now Christ's ambassadors, fueled by His love, with a powerful message to tell others as we walk in obedience.

Kevin Choate teaches through 1 John 3:10-24 on Christian brotherly love. This kind of sacraficial love is marked by what it isn’t (v. 10-15), by the example Jesus gives (v. 16-18), and the assurance it provides (v. 19-24).

Callahan Kelly, one of Wildwood College Life's summer Residents, teaches through 1 John 2:3-11. Obedience does not justify us, but a life patterned after God's Word should be naturally produced by God's Spirit after salvation by grace through faith. Love must be our defining characteristic as followers of Jesus, as we model our lives after Jesus' perfect love.
