The first few words of the Lord's Prayer are more than an intro throwaway line made to prep you for the meat of the prayer.

Romans 1-8 showed us how deeply beautiful the gospel is for followers of Jesus, and that we should never settle for a lesser version of the good news.

The good news of the gospel means that despite what we experience in this world, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus!

Because of what is true of us in Jesus, we no longer stand condemned, are adopted into the family of God, and can live according to the Spirit.

Where should we find our hope and strength in the midst of continued struggles with sin as imperfect human beings?

Death changes things. So why does our death to sin and the law not look or feel like freedom in Christ?

We are all slaves to something or someone, but Paul says only Jesus is the loving master we were created to serve.

The gospel isn't just good news for our future, it offers us the opportunity to walk in newness of life now.

Intellectually, we know that Jesus has defeated sin and death. But do our lives show that we still believe sin and death reign as the true king?

Being justified by grace through faith is more than simply a fact—it should result in living our lives differently.

If Abraham and David both have no standing before God because of their rock star religious status, maybe justification by faith really is good news.

Because justification comes by grace through faith and not works, we can give up our attempt to earn favor and compare ourselves to others.

The fact that our sin accentuates God's holiness is not an excuse to sin even more—our desperate need is met by Jesus alone.

God doesn't play favorites, so we all stand before him in desperate need of the salvation he offers—regardless of how good we think we are on our own.

The problem with the world isn't what is "out there"—it's the desperate need created by the problem of sin inside each of our own hearts.

Left to ourselves, we're lost. But Paul tells us that the gospel is God's response to what is wrong with the world.

Bryan shares his final message as a member of our staff and encourages us to remember that the same God who got us here will be faithful to lead us forward.

Bryan takes a little time to share five major themes we need to keep in mind as followers of Jesus in order to come to the end of our life and know we have finished well.

As humans, we don't love change, but our lives are full of it. How do we walk through change well as followers of Jesus?

Is giving something we're just called to begrudgingly do, or is it a means of God's grace to us that gives us a foretaste of heaven?

What is it we ultimately live for? We all have a limited number of days, so how do we make sure we don't waste them?

What did you do with the 365 days you were given in 2025?

Maybe the problem isn’t a lack of evidence. Maybe the problem is a will not to believe.

When crisis invades our life and threatens to capture all of our attention and rob us of all hope, what do we need the most?

As we consider this call to community, do we really believe, as challenging as it is, that it's worth it?

The reason it's so important to take truth seriously is because the deceiver, the liar, has sent out missionaries to deceive you.

Is there anything that we can absolutely know with certainty?

Will we believe God, or will we make Him a liar?

The most loving thing I can do for the people around me is to keep His commandments.

Love doesn't start with me. It starts with God because God is love.

Will we embrace what it means to be Bereans, to diligently study the scriptures?

Part of the reality of being fallen people living in a broken world is we all struggle with insecurities.

Have you experienced the feast of the Father?

The great concern of the New Testament is that we will be invaded from within.

It's hard to walk in the light in a very dark and confused culture, but we can do this together.

As long as your orientation in life is self, you have no chance for true community.

How you choose to respond when your rats are exposed, will determine whether you're going to find the life for which your soul longs.

We are people made in the image of God, made for face-to-face, real, authentic relationship.

What does it mean to intentionally engage and participate in a community of Christ-followers that Christ has placed us in?

God doesn’t have a cash-flow problem, God wants our hearts.

I believe God wants us to expect much from Him concerning what He can do in our very lives.

Review and reflecting on Psalm 23.

Review and reflecting on Psalm 23.

In the midst of our changing lives, what can we be sure of?

Could it be true that God not only loves you, but He really enjoys and celebrates you?

Just because we don’t know the reason doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason.

When we find ourselves in a place that feels like the valley of the shadow of death, what will we do?
