It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine. I know that’s a weird way to start a message. It’s a weird way to start a message, but we are coming to kind [...]

Throughout this series, we’ve been seeing that God’s love for us is too deep for him to leave us lost in our sin, our heartache, our pain, our suffering. No matter where you are or what you’re facing, you need to understand that his love has come [...]

Let’s talk about Isaac today. None of what God ultimately did, with Abraham and Isaac, depends on Abraham. But Abraham did have one all-important role to play: he chose to trust the Giver, not the gift. If he had refused to trust God, as hard and [...]

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. I mean, that’s the Christmas story, right? But what if I told that’s not the whole Christmas story? What if I told you that the Christmas story isn’t just confined to the first few chapters of the [...]

Today we will be looking at a very important passage in the Gospel of Matthew that has caused a lot of confusion over the years, partly because a very literal translation involves phrases and imagery familiar to the original audience, but [...]
