Why We Give

March 2, 2025 • Scott Paulson • 1 Timothy 6:17–19, 1 Timothy 6:10

Why We Have Groups

February 23, 2025 • Scott Paulson • 1 Timothy 5:3–16

Why Teaching Matters

Why We Prioritize Prayer

The Way Church Ought to Be

Kings and Kingdoms

Even in the face of impending trials, God’s people receive comfort from the truth that our God is sovereign over all the nations and the leaders who rule them. Our response to the insight we’ve been given about the end of time is to live faithfully, trusting in God’s sovereignty and fulfilling the mission he has called us to which is to make disciples of all nations.
