If I Could Tell You One Thing
Everything in One Thing
August 8, 2021 • Andrew Murch
Andrew Murch • This week, we come to the end of our "If I Could Tell You One Thing" series. Psalm 2 is both a warning and a call to wisdom; wisdom that is practiced when we submit to King Jesus. Here, we see that there is no refuge from Jesus, only in Jesus.
Press On!

Josh Lane • This week, we're continuing in our "If I Could Tell You One Thing" series with Philippians 3:2-14. The Apostle Paul exhorts the Christians in Philippi to "press on" and remain in Christ despite what they will face. Here, we see that in Christ, our future is far more certain and beautiful than our past and present.
The Forgiven
July 25, 2021 • Brent Kimball
Brent Kimball • “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?" The question of forgiveness is an important idea for Christians to understand. As followers of Jesus, we have been forgiven of a debt that we could never pay back. In light of that forgiveness, we ourselves are called to practice forgiveness. In our passage this week, we see that the forgiven are forgiving.
The Lord Is Near

Nathan Noorlun • The Lord is near... This simple reality changes absolutely everything for absolutely everyone. As we continue in our If I Could Tell You One Thing series, we come to Philippians 4:5-23. Here, the Apostle Paul is writing to the church at Philippi, reminding them of the nearness of our God and of the imminent return of Jesus. We cannot hope to face the affliction and hardships of this life without recognizing the amazing reality that our Lord is near.
The Sabbath Rest of God
July 11, 2021 • Jake Gamble
Jake Gamble • "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God..." Our passage this week, Hebrews 4, reveals the incredible reality that despite sin and rebellion, God's people will enter the perfect rest that is only offered through Christ. Here, we see that there will be true rest offered through the Great High Priest, Jesus Christ.
Let There Be Light
July 4, 2021 • Gavin Hesse
Gavin Hesse • As Christians, we know that we are called to take the gospel into the world. But how do we do that? This week, we turn our attention to 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. Here, the Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians about how he and his fellow workers carry that good news into the darkness of the world. This passage calls us to boldly proclaim our risen Savior’s Glory.
You’re Really Bad, God is Really Good
June 27, 2021 • Ben Potloff
Ben Potloff • This week, we examine Romans 3:9-26. In this section of his letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul instructs the church on the reality that no one apart from Christ is righteous. And on top of that, no one is justified by his own works. But there is hope! Here, we see that sinners are made right with God through faith in Jesus.
Famous Last Words
June 20, 2021 • Sam Cassese
Sam Cassese • This week, we look at a scene in Matthew's Gospel most commonly referred to as "the Great Commission." Before Jesus ascends to heaven, he gives his disciples some final instructions for their mission. They are to make disciples. But what does this mean for us in 2021? Here, we see the glorious and Christ-exalting call that has been put on all of our lives.
Follow the Leader
June 13, 2021 • Sam Cassese
Sam Cassese • This week, we look at Matthew 4:18-20: the story of Jesus calling Simon Peter and Andrew to follow him. Upon hearing this call, these brothers left everything to follow Jesus. Ultimately, this short scene prompts us to ask, what is a disciple?
