What do the Apollo 13 space mission, Goldilocks and the three bears, and astronomy tell us about the existence of God? Does science disprove core elements of Christianity? Former physics teacher and current full-time Christian apologist Tim Barnett will be our special guest to walk us through one of the greatest discoveries of modern physics and astronomy – the fine-tuning of the universe.
Jesus doesn’t just send us on mission – He goes with us on mission. In Matthew 28, Jesus promises His followers that He will be with them always, to the very end of the age. That means we never go alone, whether we’re facing hardship, uncertainty, or cultural opposition. His Spirit is our ever-present helper – guiding, empowering, and sustaining us as we make disciples and live out our faith in our neighborhoods to the nations. Just as God was with Joseph in Egypt and Moses before Pharaoh,...
In the Great Commission, Jesus’ last words to His disciples before He ascended, He makes clear the nature of the task. Far from being a new thought, Jesus’ call to make disciples of all nations was firmly rooted in the Old Testament Scriptures, and is just as relevant to us in 2025. There is an extraordinary amount of work to be done to finish the mission, but we can see God working in extraordinary ways!
In the Great Commission, Jesus declares that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. Before sending His followers to make disciples, He establishes His absolute kingship—He is not only Savior, but King over all creation. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus demonstrates this authority through His teaching, His command over nature and the spiritual realm, and His victory over sin and death. His resurrection confirms that every power and realm is now subject to Him. When Jesus comm...
This week we focus on what it means to become like Jesus. Paul reminds us in Romans 12 that transformation comes as we offer our lives fully to God and allow our minds to be renewed by His Spirit. Becoming like Jesus is not just about gaining head knowledge, expecting instant change, or striving alone - it’s a lifelong process of surrender and formation within the community of God’s people. We grow as we adopt Jesus’ rhythms of prayer and dependence on the Father, share His passion for people...
This week we look at what it means to belong to the family of God. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds us that the church is like a body - many different parts, each with a unique role, but all connected and dependent on one another. Belonging to Christ means we are never alone; we are placed into a community where our presence and participation matter. Together, we grow more like Jesus as we worship, serve, and encourage one another in community. This is an invitation to lean deeper into the l...
This week we explore the foundation of the Christian life: believing in Jesus and learning to be with Him daily. Faith begins with trusting Jesus as our Savior and Lord, but it grows as we spend time in His presence through prayer, Scripture, and other ancient spiritual practices. Belief is not less than intellectual ascent, but it’s always more. Believing in Jesus means trusting in Him and learning to be with Him. As a practical step, consider simplifying by removing one unnecessary distract...
The last section of this letter reminds us that the Christian life is lived in the middle of a spiritual battle. Paul makes it clear that we have a real enemy who schemes against God’s people and seeks to steal, kill and destroy everything good and godly in our lives. But we are not left defenseless; God has given us spiritual armor so that we can stand firm in His strength. Each piece of armor points us back to Jesus—our truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God. We ...
Ephesians 6:1–9 reminds us that the gospel shapes every relationship in our lives, starting at home and extending into our work. Paul calls children to obey and honor their parents, which brings blessing and reflects trust in God’s good design. Parents, in turn, are commanded not to provoke or discourage their kids, but to lovingly guide them toward Christ and nurture faith in their hearts. The passage also reframes how we view our work - whether leading or following, we serve ultimately for ...
This section of Ephesians offers a profound picture of how marriage reflects the gospel. Paul calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church: intentionally, sacrificially, and relentlessly. Wives are called to follow their husbands’ loving leadership with respect and trust, as the Church follows Christ. This passage isn’t about power or control, but about gospel-shaped roles that reveal God’s good design. As married couples live out these callings, their marriages become living...

This section of Ephesians calls believers to live distinctively as followers of Christ by walking in love, light, and wisdom. We're urged to imitate God by loving others sacrificially, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us. As children of light, we are to reject the darkness of sin and instead live lives marked by truth, righteousness, and goodness. Walking in wisdom means living intentionally, making the most of our time, and being filled with the Spirit rather than being contro...
Moses encounters God who reveals himself as the I AM. In this passage we will learn who God is and how he works for his people and ultimately see how God accomplishes his perfect work for us in Christ
In this passage, Paul urges believers to stop living like those separated from God, with darkened minds and hardened hearts. Instead, we are called to put off our old, sinful behaviors and put on a new way of life that reflects Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf. He emphasizes five distinct ways we must do this: speaking truthfully instead of lying, putting off anger, working hard instead of stealing, building up with our words instead of tearing down, and choosing forgiveness instead of bitter...
Ephesians 4:1–16 calls the church to live in a way that reflects our calling in Christ, marked by gentleness, patience, and love for one another. Paul urges believers to pursue unity, grounded in one Spirit, one faith, and the one Lord we all share. This unity isn’t about uniformity—it’s about being connected as one body while each person activates their unique spiritual gifts for the good of the whole. As we each do our part, the body of Christ grows stronger, more mature, and more like Jesu...
Ephesians 3:14–21 is a powerful prayer where Paul intercedes for believers to be strengthened by the Spirit and rooted in Christ’s love. He prays that they would grasp the vastness of God’s love—a love that surpasses knowledge—and be filled with the fullness of God. This passage invites believers to move from head knowledge to heart transformation through deep intimacy with Christ. It reminds us that God’s power is at work within us, enabling more than we can ask or imagine. This reality shou...
In this passage, Paul reflects on his unique calling to make known the mystery of the gospel—that through Christ, Gentiles now have full access to God as co-heirs in His family. He emphasizes that this mystery was hidden for generations but is now revealed through the Spirit and entrusted to the church. Paul’s imprisonment is not a defeat but part of God’s mission, showing that suffering can serve a greater purpose. The church plays a vital role in displaying God’s wisdom to the world and eve...
The second half of Ephesians 2 highlights the deep separation that once existed between Jews and Gentiles, and ultimately between humanity and God. Paul reminds Gentile believers that they were once outsiders—without hope, without God, and cut off from the promises. But through Jesus' death, the dividing wall of hostility has been torn down, bringing reconciliation and peace. Christ unites former enemies into one new people, making them fellow citizens and members of God’s household. This pas...
Ephesians 2:1–10 is considered by many theologians to be the single most significant passage in the Christian faith. It tells the story of our transformation in Christ. We were once spiritually dead, entangled in sin, and on our way to an eternity in hell. But God, full of mercy and love, stepped in and brought us to life through Jesus. This salvation isn’t something we earned—it’s a gift of grace from start to finish. Now, we’re not just saved from something, but saved for something. We’re G...
