The Hidden God In Silent, Quiet Prayer

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 23, 2017

We seek in love a God who has penchant for hiding himself, and we are drawn to follow him into his own hiding places.

There Are No Closet Christians (John 7:1-52) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 3, 2022

Nicodemus tries to thread the needle, and secretly follow Jesus. This doesn't work. If you are silent about Jesus, you haven't really "come to" him.

This morning, we find ourselves (somehow) in John 7. Throughout the gospel of John, we have found people confronted with one basic choice-- will they give their allegiance to Jesus, or not? Some people, hearing Jesus' words, and learning, have come to place their trust in Jesus. ...read more

Risky Business

Contributed by Jeremy Houck on Aug 13, 2005

To our young people as they head back to School. Taking God with you to school is risky but rewarding.
