There’s a world of people out there who are in various stages of brokenness; some a little, others a lot. Maybe for the first time in your life, you can actually relate to them! They need someone who can cry with them, who can “feel their pain.”

The Change Jesus Makes

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

Jesus is in the business of change.

Jesus is in the business of change. No one ever left an encounter with Jesus unchanged. They either loved Him more or loved Him less—and perhaps even hated Him—but they were never indifferent to Him. And the same is true for you and me. We cannot be indifferent to Him either. So, it is my prayer ...read more

Also, don't get discouraged, or stop praying. A look at two parables, with a trick to reading them better.

When it comes to the Bible, most of us have favorite parts. For some of you, it's maybe a book-- Psalms, or Matthew. For others, it's maybe a type of literature-- prophecy. We know the whole Bible is inspired. We know it's useful. We read it all. But some parts, we enjoy more than ...read more

The Tax Collector Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 1, 2022

Matthew is highly regarded these days by Christians because of how powerful his gospel is. But he wasn't always loved. He had a label "tax collector" that made him hated. Why would Jesus a man like him to be a disciple?

OPEN: Back in 2002, a newspaper in Massachusetts had this classified ad: “Unknown item for sale. We know it’s valuable; we just don’t know what it is. If you can identify it, we’ll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) The Bible is a collection of stories where God knew why people ...read more

Can I Really Believe Jesus Is Who He Says He Is? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Had your brother said, “I’m God. I’m the Lord. And I’m here to die for the sins of the world,” you wouldn’t readily believe Him either. But after Jesus rose from the grave, we see Jesus’ mother, Mary, worshipping Him. We also see his own brothers, James and Jude, worshipping as well.

Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. All throughout today’s message, I’m going to be talking about the gospel. The gospel is Jesus. The gospel is the message of Jesus. If you’re regularly a part of our church family, I’ve moved from the end of Luke 5, last week, to Luke 8, this ...read more
