To close our unplanned journey, we travel to the isle of Patmos, where the apostle John was banished, expecting He never to be heard from again. However, through John, Jesus gave us what we now call the book of Revelation, an outline of things to come.
The Battle for Worship
July 28, 2024 • Brent Freeman
This week, we flip back to the beginning of our travels, to an epic location where Paul countered the thinkers of His day to point them to an unknown god, they were desperately seeking.
Lessons in Layers
July 21, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Matthew 5:13–16
This week we venture to a place known for its natural beauty, and elevated sacred retreats. But despite the uniqueness of this special place, it left those who went inside eager to leave quickly.
Made for More
July 14, 2024 • Mike Newsom • 1 Thessalonians 4, Romans 6:1–2, 1 Thessalonians 5:15–18, Acts 17:1–10
This week we follow the Apostle Paul after He was run out of the city. He sends a letter back to the Early Church, that challenged them and certainly speaks to us today, to live a life that pleases God.
What is freedom? Most people answer the question like this, "to be able to do what I want when I want. Never being controlled by anything so I can go with the flow." While that is certainly one form of freedom, it pales in comparison to the ultimate freedom offered to mankind.
The Constant Battle
June 30, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Ephesians 6:10–18
Life is full of constant battles, yet many of us are unprepared for what we will face. In reality, most people will not prepare for a danger they don't perceive.
When Life Doesn't Go As Planned
June 23, 2024 • Tommy Bellamy • Acts 17:12–13, John 16:32–33, Psalm 27:13–14, 1 John 4:4, Romans 8:31–39
There is a simple truth we all have to face, life doesn't go as planned. Even the Apostle Paul faced this same reality, as He traveled from town to town seeking to spread the gospel and plant new Churches. So how do we respond when life doesn't go as planned?
Under The Surface
June 16, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Ephesians 4:26–32
What do you see when you look at others, even those who attend church with you? Do you see people who have it all together or hurting people needing comfort? When everybody looks happy, we assume everything is okay. But we need to look beyond the facade & realize that the world is full of hurting people.
Trust for our Tomorrows
June 9, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 6:25–34, John 15:9–11, Deuteronomy 33:27
This week we travel to one of the most inspiring and spectacular places in the ancient world. Its combination of Art, Religion & Money made it in modern terms, the equivalent of the wealth of the Swiss banks, the religious power of the Vatican, the advertising potential of the Super Bowl, and the importance of all the world museums combined. People flocked from all over to visit this destination, seeking answers.
Throughout this series, we will follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Paul got uncomfortable to preach the gospel. One of the places Paul spent time, was known for its immorality, yet the impact of His time there, was felt far beyond the city's borders.
