“These things happened to them… as examples for us”… but do we know what happened to them? That’s the question we need to wrestle with as we embark on a new series together exploring the Book of Numbers. By its title, it’s not the most exciting book and yet time and time again, scripture itself […]
Today on Easter we explore not only the empty tomb but also the full identity of Jesus. Who was and who is Jesus? How does His identity change your identity today?
Today we celebrate Palm Sunday where we not only reflect on welcoming Jesus into our lives but also challenge ourselves to surrender completely to His Lordship as He shapes us for His perfect plan.
Who is Jesus? Or… maybe more importantly, who did Jesus say He was? Did Jesus ever claim to be God or was He just a good teacher? This week, we look more closely at John 8 to see one (of many) moments where Jesus clearly and concisely shares His true identity.

Even outside of the church, Jesus is remembered for His teaching. And while He said a lot of things, He is perhaps best remembered for His Sermon on the Mount and specifically the Beatitudes. Today, we take a look at these 8 attitudes we, as followers of Jesus, are called to have and see that […]
