Battle Royale

September 22, 2024 • Joey Rodgers • Genesis 32:22–30

Give

In Genesis 32, we find the story of possibly the first-ever wrestling match – between a man named Jacob and God – where there was nowhere for Jacob to run or hide. Jacob’s story juxtaposes the sovereign rule of God and the tragic flaws within each of us. Jacob was a scoundrel… a cheat… and a grabber… YET – because of God’s sovereign plan and despite Jacob’s flaws, God used Jacob as the father of the nation of Israel. Jacob’s story reminds us that God can take our failures and use them for His glory and our good!

Can You Hear Me Now?

November 17, 2024 • Joey Rodgers • Acts 9:1–31

Do you remember the old Verizon commercial, Can you hear me now? This concept is a great reminder of one of the most essential disciplines in the Christian Life – learning to distinguish God’s voice in our lives. He continues to speak to us today, but never contrary to His Word. No spiritual discipline is more vital to living the Christian Life than having spiritual ears tuned to hear God moving. Let’s look to the story of Paul’s conversion to learn a few lessons on hearing and responding to God’s voice.

The Way Of The Cross

November 10, 2024 • Chris Reynolds • Matthew 27:32–46

Jesus, the perfect Son of God, suffers and dies on the cross. This was his purpose in coming. He lived his entire life in obedience to the Father, and when it was time to go to the cross, he did not turn back. No one suffered more than Jesus did at the cross. Other men had died; other men had been crucified; but no one suffered more than Jesus did at the cross. So, why did Jesus have to suffer so much? Why did they do it to him, and why did he do it for us? Together we’ll examine, how Jesus bore the full pain of the cross. Jesus bore the full shame of the cross. Jesus bore the full insult of the cross. And then finally, Jesus bore the full penalty for sin at the cross.

Fired Up

November 3, 2024 • Joey Rodgers • Daniel 3

The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is one of the most exciting stories in the Bible teaching us about the importance of true faith. Faith isn’t blind belief. It’s belief that has measured the facts available and has drawn a credible conclusion that the person/information is reliable. While we all may not be facing a literal fire in our lives, often, we do face fiery situations that test our faith to determine the depth of our trust in God.
