Its been a crazy few years. As a result many of us are asking, what now? Where do we go from here? What's next for my life, my family, my faith, etc? We won't get to what's next by trying to go back to what was. God is doing a new thing, are we ready?

Does injustice in the world disprove God? How do we reconcile a good God with evil in the world? Evil and injustice are not evidence against God.

We've heard a lot about God from a lot of different sources, from friends, family, culture, church. But, how can we know what God is really like? We need look no further than Jesus.

Christianity does not exist because of the Bible. The Bible exists because of Christianity. For the first 300 years the Christian faith centered on an event, not a book. The question was not “is the bible true,” but rather “did Jesus rise from the dead?” That's still the question today. Thanks to North Point Community Church for the use of this message series.
Everyone has religious doubts. Certain things about God are unsettling. Our circumstances can make God seem distant or vengeful. Science can make God seem unnecessary. Those doubts can cause us to abandon faith. But maybe our perspectives are wrong. Maybe the gods we abandon never existed to begin with.

More Americans than ever before are backing away from religion and God. Not because atheism is attractive, but because religion is unattractive. Religion is seen as the problem. It's thought of as the source of conflict and violence. So, it's worth asking the question: Who needs God? Thanks to North Point Community Church for the use of this message series.
Part of being a Jesus follower is going and making more Jesus followers, making disciples. We proclaim the Good News of Jesus to the people around us in word and deed. Loving where we live requires the Great Commandment PLUS the Great Commission
Love your neighbor. Sounds good, but what exactly does that mean? What does neighbor love look like and who exactly is my neighbor? Jesus tells a story that that shifts the conversation on neighbor love from who is my neighbor to how do I neighbor.
It can be easy to think that we are good at loving our neighbors, until we realize that Jesus command to "love our neighbor" includes "that" neighbor too. Loving where we live means loving those who aren't like us, those who disagree with us, even those who are our enemies. Love your neighbor as yourself and love your enemy as your neighbor.
If you are a follower of Jesus, what should be top priority in your life? Someone once asked Jesus a similar question: "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" His answer? Love God and Love people. Nothing is more important.
We love the work Compassion International does and are excited to partner with them in releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.
While Christianity draws many roots from the Old Testament, the early days of the New Testament church were marketed by radical decisions that would set it on a new trajectory. These decisions continue to shape and challenge the church today. Thanks to North Point Community Church for the use of this message series.
Jesus was irresistible. People from all different backgrounds were drawn to him. But as the early church was forming, there was a tendency to go back to their familiar old religious traditions rather than live by Jesus’ new covenant. Sometimes we do the same.

For the earliest followers of Jesus the foundation of their faith, their hope, their courage was not a book it was an event: the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The message they proclaimed was simple: You killed Him, God raised Him, and we've seen Him, now turn to Him. Its the stand-alone version, the original version, of the Christian faith and its the version we are invited to embrace. Thanks to North Point Community Church for the use of this message series.
Easter invites us to see the resurrected King Jesus. When we do, it changes everything.
"Come and See." Its the simple invitation to discover who Jesus is for ourselves. When Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well He shatters all the cultural and religious barriers in order to offer her living water.
Jesus earliest followers were invited to "Come and See." When they see Him they follow Him and invite others to do the same.
