"Love of Scripture"

August 11, 2024 • Zach Kordic • Matthew 5:17–19, Matthew 22:29

Jesus was obsessed with the Bible: studying it, reading it, teaching it, meditating on it. If we want to be like Christ, we need to have an ongoing and consistent relationship with the Word of God — so why don't most of us take time to study scripture daily? Join Zach as he delves into why people don't read their Bibles, and encourages us to develop this habit today.

"True Rest"

September 8, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Genesis 1:31, Genesis 2:1–3, Exodus 20:8–11

From the beginning, God has given us a pattern of how to do life. Man was intended to work six days and rest for one day. What does this mean for us? -We are to work hard at all we do. Christians should be marked by the excellence of our work. Laziness has no place in our lives. -We are to work from our rest, not work so we can rest. Christians are not called to be workaholics. We must enjoy the blessings of God by taking a true break from work to worship. Rest means we enjoy God. We lean into His goodness and take delight in all that He has done for us. In our fast-paced, loud world, this means we must unplug and just be with Him. True rest can happen if we walk in the pattern God laid for us.

"A New Way to Carry Life"

September 1, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Matthew 11:25–30

"The Authority of Scripture"

August 25, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Mark 12:28–34

Knowing scripture and doing scripture are two separate things. Our head knowledge must move to our heart, which then moves our hands and feet. Our willingness to be open to this hinges upon whether or not we believe God's word to be authoritative in our lives. God's authority is love. It is foundational in His desire for us to have salvation, forgiveness, and a life of meaning.
