From Regret to Blessing
April 24, 2024 • Tim Miller • Genesis 48
Our lives are filled with regrets. The older we grow, the more our regrets mount—mistakes, sinful choices, unforeseen tragedies, sickness, loss, toil, and death. Looking back on our lives can be a painful and sorrowful endeavor. But there is a way to find joy and peace in the remembrance of our past and bright hope for our future. Join us night as old Jacob’s life in this world comes to a fitting close, and he shows us the path from regret to blessing.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
April 3, 2024 • Tim Miller • Genesis 45
As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus today, we should remember that one of the purposes of His resurrection is reconciliation. He died and rose again so that we who were enemies of God might be forgiven and restored to fellowship with Him. Now, God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Today, we will look to Joseph once again to learn how faith in the mercy and grace of God enables us to be people of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Standing Firm in True Grace
January 10, 2024 • Tim Miller • 1 Peter 5:12–14

Christ the Savior is Born
November 26, 2023 • Tim Miller • Luke 1:68–79
The Word became flesh. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. Does this still amaze you? If we’re not careful, we can lose our sense of the glory and joy of the birth of Jesus as the years go by. Now, we will seek to rediscover the wonder of Christmas in a new series titled Christ the Savior is Born, a journey through the biblical narratives of the birth of Jesus. Get ready to be filled with wonder and amazement once again at the most momentous event in all of history.
Called to Suffer Unjustly
October 4, 2023 • Tim Miller • 1 Peter 2:18–25
Suffering. We all avoid it. No one enjoys it. But if we call ourselves Christians, we bear the name of the One who suffered for us even though He didn’t deserve it. Join us as we seek the courage to yield ourselves to the gracious One who has called us to follow His example of suffering unjustly.
Christ the Cornerstone
September 6, 2023 • Tim Miller • 1 Peter 2:4–8
Have you been discouraged by the news lately? Do you worry about the future? Did you know that there is a way to face the future with peace and confidence?

Love Born from Above
August 23, 2023 • Tim Miller • 1 Peter 1:22–25
There is nothing more important in the Christian life than love. It is the first in the list of the fruit of the Spirit, and Jesus Himself said the greatest commandments are that we love God and love our neighbors. The question is: how do we truly love? Where does our ability to sincerely love one another come from? Join us now as Peter helps us understand how to love one another well as we sojourn together in a world that’s not our home.
Faith Grounded in Reality
August 2, 2023 • Tim Miller • 1 Peter 1:8–12
How can we be sure of what we believe? Today, the Christian message has come under attack as being unscientific, not based on observable facts. But is it really? Has God left us without evidence of His goodness and grace? Join us as we continue our study of 1 Peter and uncover the evidence that makes our faith sure and certain. God has provided proof that our faith is grounded in reality.
Sojourners
July 19, 2023 • Tim Miller • 1 Peter 1:1–2
This world is a strange place that is growing stranger by the day. How do you live faithfully in a strange land that is not your home? How do you find joy and peace in a place where you are hated and despised? How do you praise God in the midst of suffering and persecution? God’s Word holds the answers to these questions. Today, we are going to hit the trail on a new series in the book of 1 Peter called Sojourners: Living Faithfully in a Strange World. Join us on this venture through the Truth that guides us as we sojourn through this world that is not our home.
The Consequences of Complacency
June 21, 2023 • Tim Miller • Genesis 34
Jacob has finally made it back to the promised land. What a relief! That means he can settle in and grow complacent in his faith, right? Wrong! He was just as much in need of God’s grace in the land of promise as he was in Laban’s household or in his encounter with his brother, Esau. Join us as we learn the hard lessons of what can happen when we stop relying on the Lord and slip into spiritual complacency.
God's Word is Truth
June 11, 2023 • Tim Miller • John 17:13–19
In an age of relativism, there is a message that rings out loud and clear above all the competing voices. While everyone goes their own way, doing what is right in their own eyes, Jesus still declares that He has given us the very Word of God. His message is unchanging. His words have the power to change you. Join us as we see how Jesus’ heart burns for you to know that God’s Word is truth.
Family Feud
May 24, 2023 • Tim Miller • Genesis 31
Jacob spent twenty years as a servant in the household of Laban being manipulated and mistreated. It was now finally time for him to leave and return to the land God had promised him, but Laban would not let Jacob go without a fight. Join us as this family feud reaches its climax and Laban pursues Jacob through the hills. Buckle up for this one. It’s going to be a wild ride.
Deceiver Deceived
May 3, 2023 • Tim Miller • Genesis 29:1–30
What goes around, comes around. Jacob had deceived his father, and he would very soon learn what it feels like to be on the receiving end of deceit. Join us as we watch the deceiver get deceived and seek to learn how we can graciously walk in the truth in the midst of a world of lies.
Telling Others about Jesus
April 16, 2023 • Tim Miller • John 15:26–27
When is the last time you told someone about Jesus? If we’re honest, we all have fears about sharing Jesus with others. The good news is that Jesus knows our fears, and He has provided a Helper for us. The Holy Spirit is in us is to help us tell others about Jesus with the boldness that comes from His divine power. Join us as we seek the help of the Holy Spirit to make us bolder and stronger witnesses for Jesus.
