Following Jesus can be difficult especially when we begin to take our faith seriously. We can lose friends when we don’t want to do what they do anymore. We can get fired for refusing to lie for our boss. We don’t get those invitations anymore because nobody wants to hear us talk about Jesus. Today we will see how this plays out for Mary and Joseph as Joseph has a decision to make: Care more about what God thinks or care more about what others think. Join us as we continue through Luke today....

We TRY to be a good Christian. We try to read our Bible every day. We attempt to help people. We throw some money in the offering plate. But we often do those things in hopes that God will be happy with us. But is God impressed? Actually – NO! He wants us to do all those things but for a completely different reason. Join us as we talk about what that reason is in the book of Romans.

Sometimes, we have this view of Jesus that He was meek, mild, and always cheerful and happy. But that isn’t the biblical picture of Jesus. There were times when Jesus was angry. Righteously angry. Today, we see this as He takes a whip and clears out the Temple because the Religious Leaders had become about greed and not God. Then, we will discuss how that plays out regarding our modern-day Christian churches today.

Mary is pregnant with Jesus. She is undoubtedly confused. She probably wonders – what is going on? She needs someone to talk to. This week Mary travels to her relative Elizabeth and Elizabeth will help Mary remember that no matter how bad it looks, no matter how much it doesn’t make sense humanly what has happened, God is right in the midst because He always has a plan.

Hypocrisy. We see it all around us from people claiming to be Christians who don’t actually ACT like Christians. Today we will ask this question: Are we living in such a way that people DON’T want to follow Jesus because of us? Are we saying one thing and doing another? Join us as we continue in Romans

Fear. A natural response to a perceived threat. We have all felt it and Mary the mother of Jesus was just as susceptible to fear especially when she heard she would be the mother of the long-awaited Messiah. But for Mary, she handled her fear differently. She surrendered her will to God’s will and that might be the best cure for fear known to man.

What does it mean to follow Jesus? Is it like clicking the “follow” button on Facebook and now you and Jesus are friends? Or does Jesus expect more from us? Then let’s talk about alcohol. Are Christians allowed to drink? What does the Bible say? Join us today for the answer to that question as we study Jesus’ miracle of turning water into wine.

Favored by God. We think being favored by God means a new car, a big bank account, and a month-long vacation at the beach. But as we will see today – being favored by God usually means hardship and we will see that when the Angel Gabriel shows up to Mary with a message of “you are favored” but her life would never be easy from that moment on.

How would we feel if an angel showed up with a message from God? Would that scare us? Possibly because as we see today –the Angel Gabriel showed up and it terrified Zechariah! But I love what the angel Gabriel says: I have a message and I just came from the presence of God. Today we will see what that message was!

What exactly is baptism? Do I have to get baptized to be saved? Is being sprinkled as a baby considered being baptized? Is everyone who is baptized actually saved? But a more important question is this: What should be happening after I get baptized? That’s a lot of questions that we will answer today as we continue through the Gospel of John.

I hate it when God is silent. It makes me feel like He isn’t paying attention. It makes me think He might not care. Today, we will see that is not true! Even in God’s silence, He works behind the scenes to get all the pieces in place for His perfect timing. Join us today as we see how this plays out in Luke.

Luke desired to write an orderly account of all the events surrounding Jesus’ life, and he did that by talking to eyewitnesses. Today, we will see why Luke’s job as a reporter and investigator is so important to us. We need to know the truth of what happened so we have a solid biblical foundation to stand on!

What will matter on your deathbed? Sounds a little morbid, but think about right before you take your last breath - will you be thinking about God’s kingdom and heaven or thinking about your kingdom and how sad you are to leave this earth? This week Jacob and Joseph will leave the pages of Scripture and we will learn why it matters that we end well.

The majority of Americans believe in a pre-tribulation rapture but what if it doesn’t happen that way? What if we have to go through a large portion of the 7 years of tribulation? Will we be ready? After what just happened in Gaza with Hamas I started thinking about why we need to be prepared. Today I will talk to Joel Richardson about this.

Sometimes we get confused when God moves us, especially when it doesn’t make any sense. Today we will see how this plays out as Jacob and his family have to move from Israel to Egypt and what we learn is this: no matter what is going on in our life, God is with us. God has a plan. God is always working behind the scenes. Join us today as we continue through Genesis.

If you were a Volkswagen and you wanted to become a Cadillac – what would you have to do? Would you be considered a Cadillac if you put a Cadillac emblem on your Volkswagen or does something else have to happen? Today we will learn a valuable lesson about what it means to be born of God by that illustration and what we will see is how being born of God is directly related to Jesus stepping out of heaven and coming to this earth. Join us today as we continue through the Gospel of John.

What part of our life have we given to Jesus? Do we give him 1/8 of our life or 1/12th of our life? Do we give Him an hour on Sunday or Wednesday, and the rest is ours? Is He just like a piece of a pie instead of the whole pie? Today in Romans, we will see what Paul says about this, and we will see that as Christians, the Bible says Jesus has to be at the center of the entirety of our lives because if we say we are Christians, that means we are called saints and have a calling on our life.

People are afraid to die. Christians are afraid to die. Why is that? I think it is because we don't know what happens after we die. Do we go to sleep? Do we go to a specific place? What will we do? Will we know people? Will we remember Earth? What does eternity look like for a Christian? Join us for Session 1 of our 2 part series Eternity Timeline.

The war in Israel with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Is this the beginning of the End Times? For the first few minutes of our lesson, we will talk about what is going on in Israel and then we will move into our normal Lesson with this: someone hurt us. We can’t get over it. Today we will see how we actually CAN get over it and why the Bible says we MUST get over it. We will see this in our lesson as Joseph finally reveals to his brothers who he really is and he does so with the message of forgiveness...

Think of the worst thing you have ever done. It was wrong. You knew it then but now you can’t get over it. What you did haunts you. It hurt so many people. The reminder comes flooding back in the most inopportune times. Good news: there is a cure for that as we will see today in Psalm 51!
