Religion or Relationship?

May 19, 2024 • Michael Graham • Galatians 4:8–11

There is so much confusion around "Christianity." Is it a "religion" or a "relationship"? And why does it matter?

The New Testament goes to great lengths to answer this question, and it affects every aspect life, and how you live and relate to God. Listen in as we see Paul labor to rescue the Galatians from falling into "Religion" and calling them back to that faith-driven relationship. Because the consequences of this error are not only damaging, but eternally costly!

The Captivating Church

April 14, 2024 • Michael Graham • Acts 2:41–47

God desires to reach the world through "churches" that are captivating by remaining faithful to Jesus. But what specifically makes a church captivating? More than that, what defines the church? There are things that characterize a church where God works to captivate outsiders, and leads to more people coming to Christ. This is what every church should aim for. This is what we hope to do, though imperfectly, as we live to honor King Jesus.

The Captivating Christian

March 24, 2024 • Michael Graham • Acts 9:19–31

What is a Christian? More than that, what is a "Captivating Christian"? God wants those who follow Jesus to live in a way that captivates, rather than settling for less. Few Christians have demonstrated what this looks like more than Paul the Apostle. In Acts 9, we will see 10 marks of a Captivating Christian.

The Mission Of Our Faith

March 17, 2024 • Michael Graham • Matthew 16:24–28

What does the Christian life look like? Is it a path of ease and comfort once we come to Jesus? Or is there a lot of hardship and trials? Should it be this way? Listen to the words from Jesus and find your heart encouraged as you walk through hard times in life.
