You know those 'Terms and Conditions' when you update your phone? Have you ever - actually - read those? Yeah, I didn't think so. Believe it or not, there is a similar portion of Scripture, somewhat like fine print, we overlook. Most people refer to this as 'The Law.' In week 6 of our Hebrews, we will read the fine print to see how we sometimes miss the point of the Law.

Hebrews | The Fineprint - Week 6

We know there is some strange stuff in the Bible. Perhaps one of the more peculiar things in the Old Testament is bloodshed within the sacrificial laws. Frankly, what is the point of all the talk about blood? For week 5 in our Hebrews series, we poke into the vein of this central theme throughout Scripture.

Hebrews | There Will Be Blood - Week 5

It's summer, which means slip-n-slides are taking over lawns. The thing about slip-n-slides is no matter how hard you may try, it's virtually impossible to run on one without falling. Our faith can be a lot like a slip-n-slide because no matter how fast or hard we run, we will fall. The question becomes: what will you do when you catch yourself falling? Let's find out together in week 4 of our study through Hebrews.

Hebrews | An Apostate Check with Dr. Mel - Week 4

Imagine you were out to eat at a diner and a child ordered a glass of milk. Pretty standard, right? Now, think about a grown man who ordered a glass of milk - and only milk - every day for his meal. What would come to mind? Probably - he needs to grow up! In week 3 of our study through Hebrews, we see how Jesus calls us to grow up in our faith.

Hebrews | A Better Moses, A Better Bible - Week 3

Which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks? I bet you instantly thought rocks, but a pound of each would weigh the same! In week 2 of our series through Hebrews, we talk about the role of Levitical priests, the weight of sin, and how Jesus changed it all!

Hebrews | Priestly Duties - Week 2

Do you have a friend that you don’t keep in touch with as much anymore? We say things like, “well, we just drifted apart.” What if, without realizing it, that happens in our faith in Jesus? In week 1 of our series through Hebrews, we look to find a point of reference in our walk with Jesus.

Hebrews | Angels, Prophets, and A Messiah

Have you ever prayed and then halfway through, you ended up thinking towards God, or your mind wandered elsewhere? We all have! If someone believes in prayer, the next question should be: what should I pray for? As we close out our Prayer series, we will take time to consider the purpose of our prayer lives.

Prayer | Praying With Purpose - Week 3

A missionary once attributed the “success” of his mission to the power of prayer. When asked about this further, he responded, “what would you do if you knew your prayers had the power to succeed?” In week two of our series on Prayer, we look at the reason for the power behind our prayers.

Prayer | Praying With Power - Week 2

How would you describe prayer to someone who had never prayed before? Is it giving God a to-do list? Or maybe the formal thing you must do before God moves in your life? However, beyond knowing what prayer is, resides the question—How is your prayer life? In week one of our Prayer series, we seek to answer that question.

Prayer | How's Your Prayer Life - Week 1

In the fairy tale “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” the young lad would claim a wolf was coming to attack his sheep. But, after many false alarms, no one trusted him anymore—even when the actual wolf came! In many ways, the same can apply to our discipleship journey. In week three of Christian Atheist, let’s see why it’s essential to put action behind our belief and trust in God.

Christian Atheist | I Believe in God, But Don’t Really Trust Him - Week 3

Ever have one of those things that you think you love - that is until you meet someone whose exponential appreciation shadows yours? Sometimes that’s a good thing! And other times, it feels a little overboard. So, what about our faith in Jesus? Does the same apply? Find out more with us in week 2 of Christian Atheist.

Christian Atheist | I Believe in God, But I Don’t Want to Go Overboard - Week 2

An athlete, an entrepreneur, or perhaps an activist? Chances are, there was someone whose life you marveled at when you were young. Maybe you knew the details, facts, statistics, and story of their life. Sure, you knew about them - but you didn’t really know them, right? In week one of Christian Atheist, we look at the ways in which we know about God, but might not actually know Him personally.

Christian Atheist | I Believe in God, But Don’t Know Him - Week 1

Studies reveal we are busier today than we ever have been. Most of us know this. And yet, we try to add more to our plates. As we wrap up this series, Handle with Care, we learn a hack to juggling the weight of life.
