John 20:30-31 and 4:43-53 There once was a time when no one believed in Jesus... and then they met him, and they saw him do things no one had ever done, and they had a reason to believe. What if God wants to give you a reason to believe?

Romans 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 10:1-5 This week we're looking at the battleground of our minds and what God says about how to protect them.

Isaiah 43:1-7 and Galatians 4:4-7 We all want a neighborhood. We want to be part of something, somewhere, and have someone know our name. God has a plan for that and, at its best, it's spelled C-H-U-R-C-H.

Ephesians 4:22-32 Jesus is looking for some people who are willing to go first - first to listen, first to forgive, first to do something for someone else. We need some adults. Do you know any?

Matthew 16:21-28 Jesus set a clear trajectory for himself and for everyone who would come after him - it's just not exactly what we may have planned for ourselves. How are we charting our course? Do we know where we're heading? Are we asking the right set of questions?

Matthew 7:3-5 Grace is the unsettling solution to just about everything. This Christmas, we could be part of the unsettling solution and, it could be amazing.

Matthew 20:1-16 Grace is better than fair.

John 1:14 & Luke 23:32-43 There is an unsettling solution for just about everything, and we can sum it up in one word. Grace. It’s the undeserved, unearned, unearnable favor that Jesus came to offer us. So why wouldn’t we want Christianity to be true? And where should you start if it’s a word that was never part of the equation for you?
