Title: The Power of Humility
Text: Philippians 2:1–11
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: Jesus humbled himself to the point of the crucifixion so he could free us from our sins. We must respond to the good news of Jesus’s death and resurrection with repentance and learn to model his humility in our churches and the world.
Picture
March 19, 2023
Title: Courageous Christianity
Text: Luke 13:31-35
Speaker: Jon Wenrich
Theme: Jesus was not afraid of the powers that sought to eliminate him, but he was grieved by the spiritual state of Jerusalem, whose leaders would not accept God’s messengers. We so frequently rail against the world that we forget how often God warns against religious institutions. As believers, we must continually respond to the good news with repentance. Our need to repent never goes away.
Picture
March 12, 2023
Title: Our Help is Our Hope
Text: Psalm 146:1-10
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: Human power and authority are unreliable, but God’s good news is a source of freedom to all who put their trust in him. The good news forces us to reconsider where we place our trust. Do we trust in God or in human leaders? The church should model trust in God alone.
Picture
March 5, 2023
Title: Building Our Lives on His Mission
Text: Luke 4:16–22
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: Jesus brings good news to those who are suffering, offering them freedom. It is a beautiful message that demands a response. We should evaluate whether we are people in need of freedom, people who oppress others, or people who extend the gospel message to all around us.

Picture
February 12, 2023
Title: Consistently Meeting Together
Text: Hebrews 10:23-25
Speaker: Keith Weaver
Theme: God never intended for us to walk alone. An authentic community in which we deeply know others and are known by others is necessary for a victorious faith life. To follow God faithfully, we must share our lives with other believers.
Picture
February 5, 2023
Title: A Habit of Self-Restraint
Text: Matthew 4:1-4; 9:15
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: ​Jesus showed us how to fast and promised that his followers would fast as well. Fasting draws us closer to God by starving our flesh and feeding our spirit. We fast to help us focus on God and the things of his kingdom.
Picture
January 29, 2023
Title: Routinely Praying
Text: Matthew 6:5-13
Speaker:  Jon Wenrich
Theme: ​Jesus taught that the most effective prayers are simple and heartfelt. When we pray, we should talk honestly with God.
Picture
January 22, 2023
Title: A Reading Routine
Text: 2 Timothy 3:14-17
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: ​The Bible is God’s authoritative Word, showing us clearly who God has been in the history of humanity and what he desires for us individually. We must read the Bible regularly to know what it says.
Picture
January 15, 2023
Title: Sanctity of Life
Text: Genesis 1:26-31
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: ​In the eyes of God the Creator, all creation—and all human life—is valuable. Being pro-life is about more than abortion. As believers, we should live in a way that honors the dignity of all humans, regardless of political policy or societal norms.
Picture
January 8, 2023
Title: Start Small
Text: Zechariah 4:1-14
Speaker: Eric Marshall
Theme: ​Small beginnings in the hands of God can produce surprisingly huge results. When we follow God’s plan for our lives, we should embrace our starting point, no matter how small.
Picture
December 25, 2022
Title: Could He Be the Messiah?
​Text: John 1:19–23, 43–51
Speaker: Eric Marshall
​Theme: Christmas is a time to remember the greatness of Christ. Jesus is better than anything you are going to receive this Christmas.
Picture
December 11, 2022
Title: Recognizing Jesus
​Text: 
John 1:9–13, 29–34
Speaker: Eric Marshall
​Theme: Through forgiveness and adoption, a very clear image emerges of just what God’s desire was in sending Jesus to earth: a loving relationship with his children. By adopting us as his children, God makes his heart’s intention clear: he loves us.
Picture
December 4, 2022
​Title: The Word-Become-Flesh
​Text: John 1:14–18
Speaker: Eric Marshall
​Theme: We will consider the flip side of the incarnation: that God entered this world. What does it mean that God took on flesh and, as John puts it, “dwelt among us” (John 1:14)?
Picture
November 27, 2022
Title: In the Beginning
​Text: John 1:1–5

Speaker: Jon Wenrich
Theme: Advent celebrates the arrival of God in the flesh. We will look at the mind-bending concept that Jesus was fully human and fully divine.
