We begin this three-week message series with an introduction to the Nicene Creed and what it tells us about God the Father.
Can you dare to be generous, even when it seems like all you’ll get in return is soggy bread? Find out why getting soaked on an investment can actually work.
God doesn’t just offer an eternal promise—he gives the reason he can keep it, along with all the inherent benefits.
We have been looking at (and blessed by) beautiful things this past Fall. But of all the beautiful blessings we see each day, nothing is more beautiful than Jesus and his love for us.
Revelation describes the Church as like a beautiful bride of Christ. So, what actually makes it beautiful…and does it need an on-going makeover routine to maintain its appearance?
The phrase “Good Samaritan” is used to describe the act of someone helping a stranger. But don’t just admire those who assist others. You can do beautiful acts (beautiful things), too.
Our world may be in ashes and our lives may be in ruins, but God transforms our situations (and ourselves) into things of beauty, all made possible through Christ. It’s a beautiful thing.
The “beauty” industry generated $677B in revenue last year convincing us that looks matter most. But what really makes people beautiful can’t be bought or sold. It’s a matter of soul.
From majestic mountains and trees to color-drenched flowers and tiny bugs, we’re constantly provided a glimpse of God’s attributes throughout all of nature. All free of charge.
What happens at the beach shouldn’t just stay at the beach. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
Encountering one of life’s big “storms”? No problem. Try to remember that God is aware, has a plan, and always prevails. His advice is simple: abandon ship and head for the beach.
During the time of King Hezekiah and the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrian army, God encouraged his people to trust in his protection, presence, and power. Advice that never grows old.
The Outer Banks in North Carolina have been there throughout history, but the actual sand is always shifting and moving. It never stays the same…unlike God, who never changes.
The MN Adult and Teen Challenge Choir will lead us in worship at both services with music and testimonies of hope. For over 60 years, Adult & Teen Challenge has operated on a holistic model of drug and alcohol recovery. Their vision is to see all people freed from addiction through the power of Jesus Christ!
Nothing is beyond reconciliation. If you doubt that, then the story of Jesus forgiving Peter’s denial of him is a good reminder. Jesus restores Peter, but not without a hard conversation first.
Beaches are those places where the water meets the land, and where God’s power faces the forces of chaos and defeats them. Even when the beach seems to have disappeared.
There are three stories of miracles where God literally made a way on the beach and saved the people’s lives. God still opens paths when it seems impossible, literally saving our lives.
When things seem beyond reason or our capabilities, we often discover with Jesus we can do far more than we could ask or think. Nothing is impossible for Jesus.
This past week, 54 kids descended upon Resurrection to attend VBS each day from 9:00a to noon. And they had a wonderful time and got to see and hear God’s love in action. Wondering what you missed? Check it out.
We can cause chaos if we don’t show compassion for others, i.e. refuse to listen to God. But this loving God of second chances doesn’t ever give up on us. Here’s a whale of a tale about it.
