Prayers of a Pastor, Part 2

As our nation enters a time of "social distancing," we've noticed that it evokes a longing within us to be with others. That's natural! It is the way God wired us. Paul dealt with this same type of longing to be with people he couldn't be with. How did he deal with it?

Prayers of a Pastor, Part 1

How do we, as Christians, deal with this outbreak, and the effects that it is having? In our very first "online-only" worship service, we discover that the Apostle Paul actually has some great insights on how to deal with exactly this type of situation!

The Obedience of Faith

No wonder you blow it all the time... No wonder you have difficulty following Jesus and obeying God's will for your life. You are too broken, too weak. You simply don't have it in you. 

The Apostle Paul struggled with the exact same problem, and he acknowledges it in Romans. The good news is that he shares the key to finding the power to actually trust HIM!

What This Is All About

The church at Rome had a lot of tension. They had conflict in their theology, and it was causing problems... So Paul writes this long letter to them. Paul has a lot to say. He COULD have launched into rules and regulations, and who is right, and who is wrong. Instead, Paul's entire letter boils down to this one simple message. Is it your message as well?

Introducing Paul, Part 2

Being a follower of Christ is not simply about agreeing to a set of theological beliefs... It is so much more than that. It is life-changing, history-making. Becoming a Christ follower gives your life purpose. Do you know your purpose?

Romans: Introducing Paul, Part 1

This episode begins a long, deep dive into "the greatest letter ever written." It will change your life.

It begins with Paul introducing himself. If you're going to understand Romans, you have to understand it's author, the Apostle Paul. Let's meet him!

Squint

Have you ever caught yourself squinting to see better? Does that really work? Maybe we can catch a clearer vision of God by squinting...?

Can I See The Big Picture?

Does my vision and God's vision really line up? Do I understand what He is really up to in and through me? 

Am I A Visionary?

Jesus says you are!

Driven to Respond

Powerful memories evoke a response. They change your attitude, your mood, your outlook. Paul remembered something that literally knocked him down. How will you respond?
