The True Prize

July 16, 2023 • Jason Barthelemy • John 6

Who doesn't like a great freebie? To benefit from something that we don't have to pay for causes us to come back for more. The gospel of John describes a group following Jesus because of the signs and wonders they observed. This week's question of Jesus comes just after these signs and wonders and takes things from exciting to challenging on the turn of a dime.

Do You Believe This?

August 6, 2023 • Shawn Hart • John 11:26

Have you ever had the experience of realizing that something you assumed was true, was actually false? Having an assumption or belief proven wrong can be a difficult experience, unless the correction proves to be better than we imagined possible. This week we will experience Jesus working beyond the assumptions and beliefs of everyone and proving that what he offers is much more than anyone could have imagined. Just like those in this week’s story, we will be challenged by Jesus’ bold claims and asked, “Do you believe this?”

A Dying Question

July 30, 2023 • Allen Smith • Matthew 27:46

In our summer series, Jesus has been asking questions to uncover the disciples’ hearts. In our next question, Jesus now asks his heavenly Father one of the most profound questions of all time. Join us this Sunday and discover from the most unexpected places one of the most stunning answers from the heart of God.

Finding Calm

July 23, 2023 • Allen Smith • Matthew 6:25–34

According to a 2023 Census Bureau survey, 1 out of 3 Americans suffer from acute anxiety. If you are 18-24 years old, that number increases to 50%. My guess is that many of you reading this email are like me and struggle with anxiety. This weekend we’ll consider Jesus’ question about anxiety from Matthew 6. My prayer is that Jesus will personally meet us this Sunday to help us become a more calm, less anxious people.
