Prayer Before Practice
April 28, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 6:2–16
If Jesus prayed all night before choosing His disciples, how much more should we pray before making decisions or dealing with challenges in our lives? Brett Bellamy continues our Storytellers series and shows us how to stay connected to God as we follow Jesus’ pattern for life and ministry.
The Heart of Faith
April 21, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 6:1–11
When you think about the Sabbath, what comes to mind? Did you know that the word Sabbath means “rest?” Brett Bellamy uses a passage from Luke to remind us that God created us and knows what we need. He longs for us to find rest from this crazy chaotic world. But not just rest from work–He wants us to find our rest in Him!
The Power of Faith
April 14, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 5:17–26
Have you ever wanted something so desperately that you went to extraordinary lengths to make it happen? Brett Bellamy jumps back into our Storytellers series in Luke and teaches about a group that wanted to be near Jesus enough to bust through a roof. Would you?
Healing the Whole Person
April 7, 2024 • Trent Heaton • Luke 5:12–16
Have you ever felt like an outcast, unloved, or alone? Trent Heaton invites us deeper into the healing of the Leper in our Storytellers series to understand the depth of Jesus’ heart for us. Just like the leper, Jesus wants to touch us and make us whole.
The Call to Discipleship
March 10, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 5:1–11
When Jesus called His disciples it was radical and required them to leave everything they knew to follow Him. What have you given up to follow Christ? Brett Bellamy explores the cost of following Jesus with your whole life as he continues in the Storyteller series.
The Power and Purpose of Miracles
March 3, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 4:31–44
We all long for a miracle–healing for our bodies, relationships, and minds. Jesus has the power to work miracles today; yet sometimes He doesn’t. Brett Bellamy continues in our Storytellers series and reminds us that the miracle we need most has already happened. Salvation is available because of what Jesus did on the cross.
The Problem with Prophets
February 25, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 4:16–30
What holds you back from believing that Jesus is who He says He is and that He has the power to truly set you free? Brett Bellamy challenges us to overcome our doubts and fears so we can experience the life-changing joy found in the good news of the gospel.
Faith Over Doubt
February 11, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 4:1–13
We all doubt sometimes. Life is hard. Relationships are hard. We are tempted at every turn to get angry or shut down. Brett Bellamy invites us to follow Christ’s example in His third temptation by speaking Scripture into our doubt and trusting God’s plan.
Faith Over Pleasure
January 28, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 3:15—4:23
What are you tempted by? Do you struggle to keep spiritual matters a priority while spending time, energy, and resources on the material pleasures of life? Brett uses Jesus’ example in Luke 4 to encourage us. We can’t do it perfectly like Jesus did, but He invites us to choose faith instead of giving power to our pleasures.
Provision and Faith
January 21, 2024 • Brett Bellamy • Luke 3:15—4:23
Can God use our past? The sins we hope no one ever finds out about? The hard things we are called to endure? As Brett Bellamy explores Jesus’ genealogy in Luke, we’ll see how God’s plan, protection, and provision gives us hope and builds our faith.
Faith Like a Shepherd
December 31, 2023 • Dan Currie • Luke 2:1–21
When the light pierced the darkness of that Bethlehem hillside so long ago, the Shepherds ran without hesitation to share the Good News of Jesus’ birth! What will you do with that news this Christmas? Dan Currie invites us to have faith like a Shepherd.
