Set Apart - Pt 10 - God’s Not Done (Jeremiah 30–31, Ezekiel 37, Zechariah 9, Joel 2) The Old Testament prophets often get a reputation for being downbeat, cranky, or intense. But if you look past the warnings, almost every prophet offered dazzling, glorious visions of God’s future plans for His...

What if grace is bigger than your mistakes?

Who is the Antichrist?
Life Upside Down - Pt 9 - This message dives into the mystery of 2 Thessalonians 2 to answer the high-stakes question: "Who is the Antichrist?" While the "man of lawlessness" is a figure of intense curiosity and potential deception, the core of this teaching isn't about fueling fear or checking…

Finding relief in the reach of God's justice
Life Upside Down - Pt 8 - Has the world ever felt like it was spinning out of control?
