The Bible not only teaches that Jesus is God, it teaches that He is King over us and over His creation.

Over the summer we looked at what the Bible had to say about false teaching and teachers in our series Testing the Spirits. This led us into a study of the person of Jesus Christ as we looked at what the Bible had to say about His preeminence and supremacy. We looked at verses like Colossians ...read more

The Test Of A Stranger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Watch Joseph’s strategy here. Joseph is alternating the sun and the frost in order to break the brothers open to God. When things alternate between really hot and really cold, it breaks things. It breaks the ground.

We’ve called Joseph’s life a roller-coaster… … where his dips included two years of languishing in prison and eleven years of slavery. And we meet him in today’s story, he’s been promoted over the world empire, Egypt, and second only to Pharaoh inside the world’s most important nation of the time. ...read more

On The Bubble Series

I have good news for you today: the Bible says God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). In a world full of spin and where people doctor the truth, the God of the Bible is total 100% truth. God is so much truth, the Bible even substitutes “amen” for God’s name.

Incas and Aztecs went so far as to sacrifice humans in order to attract their gods’ attention. And millions of people who attend ...read more

Jesus Cleans Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

The only obstacle that stood between this man and full health was Jesus’ willingness. Somewhere in the solitude of this lonely life, this man’s mental processes discovered that if only Jesus wanted to heal him, he would be healed.

We’ve been looking over the shoulder of Luke as he’s written his Gospel to communicate to us who Jesus is. We’ve seen Jesus make His hometown synagogue so angry that they tried to kill Him.
