The problem in the early church came down to ”TIME.” Nobody had time to do what needed to be done, which begs the question: Are you exhausted because you are doing what everyone expects of you? Are you doing what you are passionate about or are you doing what others feel you should be doing?
People say they are Christians but they don’t read the Bible and don’t do what the Bible says. But Jesus says He must be “Lord” of our life so what should that look like? Are we building our faith on a solid foundation where Jesus is the center?

What do we do with tragedy? Heartache? Loss? How can we fit a loving, all-powerful God into this picture when we know God COULD have stopped something bad from happening but He didn’t?
Why should we read the Bible? Why should we know the Bible? Why should we store the Bible in our brains? Well, I assume it is because that is how we get to know God. That is how God changes us when we see how to live life His way. Join us today as we talk about the importance of really knowing the Word of God.
Do you do things for God but have no love for Him?? Are you busy working for God? Going to church and bible study? Giving? Serving? And if so – why are you doing those things? Today we will see the Church of Ephesus which was filled with Christians but the problem was – they lost their first love for Jesus. Does this church look like you? Busy but no love for God?
How big is your God? That’s a great question because how you answer that question will determine how you live your life. If God is big – you will live a life of peace. You will pray more. Believe more. Trust more. So is God big in your life?

Today we will talk about the war that is going on inside of us. The early disciples knew this battle well and what we will learn is there is a battle between our Flesh and the Spirit. The question is…who is winning, our flesh or the Holy Spirit?
Judging others. That’s easy for us to do. We don’t like how someone acts or dresses or what they eat or drink. But maybe we need to stop and ask ourselves: “I wonder why they do those things?” Today let’s talk about why we should think twice before we judge others.
Revelation begins as John begins by saying we are "blessed" to read this book! An amazing start to an amazing book!

Life is constantly changing and when it does – who are we getting advice from? Nonbelieving friends? TV? Podcasts? Internet? Today we will see that Jesus wants us to get advice from Him so we can look at our life through what we call “God glasses.”
Today we will talk about the different views of the Rapture and answer questions like: “Will I go to heaven before the tribulation starts?” “Will I have to go through any of the 7 years?” Join us as we see what the Bible has to say from the Book of Revelation!
Discouragement...we have all felt it. Life doesn’t go as planned. We can never get ahead. Life is changing so rapidly. Today we will talk about how to battle against discouragement, and we will meet the greatest encourager in Acts....Barnabas!
People heard Jesus was nearby. They heard Jesus would heal them or make their lives better. But what we see is that most times – people didn’t want to follow Jesus – they wanted something from Him. Do we do the same?
As we begin our study in Revelation, we dig into the verses to see how God uses prophecy to tell us how the world will end! Join us as the adventure in the fascinating book begins!

Why did God make this book so difficult to understand? Does anyone ever teach Revelation with 100% accuracy? Join us today as we begin our study in Revelation!
Religion. Intimidation. Threatening. Coercion. Rules. Keeping people under their thumb. If that sounds like the church you go to – you may want to run. Religion kills. Jesus saves. And when we are saved, we CAN’T stop talking about Him!
What will we DO? How we gauge our spiritual maturity is not in what we KNOW -- how much Bible we can recite -- but in how much in the Bible we DO!
If you are a follower of Jesus, the Bible says you are adopted by God. But what is more amazing is that God says you are also His HEIR. An heir to His spiritual fortune. Today we will see what that means and why knowing that should change how we live on this earth. Join us today as we continue in the book of Romans.
