Testimonies: Obed-Edom

July 7, 2024 • Cole Feix • 2 Samuel 6:1–13, 1 Chronicles 13, 1 Chronicles 26:1–6

All through the Bible, God brings the outsiders and the unlikely into his family. Maybe no one was more unlikely than Obed-Edom, a placeholder for the ark of the covenant whose life was completely transformed by God. What can we learn from his testimony about following Christ? Obed-Edom went from a placeholder to a beholder to a doorholder. We've been called to do the same.

Meeting Jesus at the YMCA

August 18, 2024 • Terry Feix • Romans 6:1–6

It's easy to follow the crowd and walk in the way of the world. But God didn't promise to make us better people; he promised to make us new. The Christian life is one of total transformation from beginning to end. Sometimes, it's as simple as walking in a different direction.

The Joy of the Lord

August 25, 2024 • Kerwin Dees • John 15

Joy is a trademark of the Christian life, but how do you get it? In Philippians, Paul commands the church to rejoice! In John 15, Jesus promises his followers joy. All through the Bible joy comes from communion with God. Even in trying circumstances and intense suffering, we can find joy through Jesus Christ.

Testimonies: Paul

August 11, 2024 • Cole Feix • Acts 9:1–19, 1 Timothy 1:12–15

Saul of Tarsus was an unlikely candidate to become a Christian. As a persecutor of the church, he was running the opposite way, and God turned him around, forgave him, showed him grace, and sent him on a mission. As the last testimony in our series, this passage shows us that God can save anyone!
