Is there a point at which God gives up on us? Is blessing from God something we have to earn or prove ourselves in order to receive? Or is blessing unearned, freely given, and powerful enough to form us? These are critical questions for the journey of every Christian. Even more, these are some of the critical questions addressed in the life of Jacob. Join us on Sundays this Fall, as we take up part three of our study of Genesis and study the life of Jacob.

People today might be less religious than people in ancient times, but we are no less spiritual. In our moment, there is a deep craving for anything that can answer the questions of meaning, purpose, and belonging. The popular solution is some mixture of spirituality, technology, wellness theories, sexuality, and politics. 

Can we really trust Jesus to be supreme over everything or only spiritual things? Do we need Jesus plus something else to be truly safe, secure, and fulfilled in the world? These questions aren’t just relevant for us today — they're questions Christians and non-Christians alike have asked for centuries. And Paul’s letter to the Colossians hits these questions head-on. Join us as we open this book on Sundays starting in March.

The world is constantly offering us something new and trendy as the hack to a full and satisfied life. Cultural hot takes on marriage, family, and our homes are too many to count. The problem is, most of us have gone after those things, but we still find ourselves searching. We believe Scripture has something to say about all this. God offers us a tested and tried foundation upon which to build a sturdy life — the Bible is clear that anyone who builds their life on God’s word will be blessed. More than that, they will be a blessing to future generations. Join us over the next four weeks as we go back to the basics and seek to build our lives on God’s foundation for marriage, family, and gospel hospitality.

The world was utterly broken. Humans had rejected God’s loving will for Creation. Amidst the division and confusion of a rebellious world, God came to one unlikely man. God called him out of a land of chaos and promised to make him the father of a nation of blessing. 

Throughout this series, we will dive deeper into the gospel through Abraham’s life. Abraham’s story shows us the God of covenant faithfulness and helps us view our own stories as a part of God’s redemptive work in the world. We are called, too—called to participate in God’s mission to extend his blessings to the ends of the earth until the curse is no more.

Thousands of years ago, an Israelite named David poured out his heart to God in song. He wasn’t embarrassed to lay before God his deepest thoughts and rawest emotions—sadness, anger, lament, fear, and joy. Ever since, God’s people have been singing and praying his words, and others like them, in the book of Psalms. In the Psalms, beautiful poems and vulnerable prayers flow from real human hearts across a wide range of seasons and circumstances. The Psalms sing forth with hymns of praise, reflecting on the goodness of God in the land of the living. Yet the Psalms also cry out to God from the valley of the shadow, overwhelmed by doubt, loss, and death. That’s why Christians have never stopped meditating on these words. Because in the Psalms, we see a reflection of the delights and longings we feel in our own hearts.

The Psalms is the greatest book of poetry ever produced. We need this book. It meets us in each part of our story. In the place of both trial and celebration, we often find that our own words fall short. We don’t know what to say or what to feel. In the midst of our circumstances, we are left with shallow wells from which to draw. The Psalms deepen us and enrich our souls. It gives language to our stories. Its songs and prayers become our own. It lifts our eyes up to the hills to see that our help comes from Jesus. No wonder the New Testament quotes the Psalms more than almost any other book. Join us each Sunday as we explore the deep and still waters of the book of Psalms.

What do we think when following Jesus makes life more difficult? Is it possible to find stability amid a shifting culture where being a Christian is increasingly a minority position? The book of 1 Peter addresses these questions and more. It is, quite possibly, one of the most practical books in the New Testament for Christian discipleship. We are excited to take up this book verse by verse over the next few months. We hope you’ll start reading it on your own, pray with us, and join us on Sundays as we study 1 Peter together.

Grace isn’t merely a divine sentiment or a therapeutic concept to remove the severity of our sin. Grace is God’s initiative to reconcile a rebellious humanity to Himself, at great cost to Himself. We can’t earn it. We don’t deserve it. There’s nothing we can do to move ourselves beyond it. Yet, God offers it in Jesus. “Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.”

Why do we exist? How did we get here? What does it mean to be human? These questions have haunted humanity since the beginning of time. We have a profound fascination with the origin of the cosmos. Hoping to find meaning in life, humans have searched for an explanation of our origins in many places, from a pantheon of gods in a cosmic battle to the Big Bang.

For many of us, our childhoods were shaped by the stories found in the early chapters of Genesis. We learned about Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, and the Tower of Babel. In many ways, these stories gave us a sense of right and wrong. But what if there is more to these stories than we learned in Sunday school? What if these stories were not intended to teach children morals, but to shape a definitive vision of God, humanity, and creation? Join us on Sundays as we seek to recover our origin story in the Book of Genesis.
