Disobey Your Mother

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 4, 2022

Why Does Jonah Run From God, And Choose Death Over Life? (Jonah 1:1-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 25, 2022

A reading of Jonah, that lets the book tell the story at its own pace.

Part of being a pastor or teacher in any church, is having this desire deep inside of you to teach through the book of Jonah. You can't help yourself. It preaches too well; it's too good of a story to ignore. Plus, every pastor knows the OT is hard and scary, but they also know they are ...read more

Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022

Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?
