What does it take to make a person believe? And what does that belief look like? Jesus gave miraculous signs, but his desire was simply to be believed. What is the basis of our faith, and what does it mean in our life?

We’ve all heard of the good Samaritan, but what about the bad one? Morally tainted, socially undesirable, spiritually deceived, she just wasn’t a good person. Yet Jesus cared enough for her to spend time with her, talk to her and teach her. No barrier kept Jesus from showing her God’s truth and love.

If you want to know about joy, would you go to the guy who has nothing, wears rough clothes, exists by eating insects? It isn’t our picture of joy, but maybe that’s why we go to others looking for it? John the Baptist was a man of great joy and made it clear how he got it. Join us as we listen to John’s simple and effective recipe for joy!

Valentine’s Day is a day we celebrate love. But there’s more than one kind of love. Most of us experience love in two ways. But there is a third way, and it is the key to the others. This Valentine’s Day we celebrate love by remembering what it really is and how we can have ‘true love’.

You know what they’re like—those “born again” Christians. In the last 30 years this has become a term loaded with extra meaning in our culture. But it didn’t start with us. What is a “born again” Christian? Are there Christians who aren’t “born again”?

Jesus went to the temple during the Passover and discovered that his people who came to worship being taken advantage of. Jesus got angry but it was righteous. What does righteous anger look like? What ways does God work on our lives?

Jesus was minding his own business and enjoying the wedding of family friends when he received a strange request—from his mother. What did he do, why did he do it, and what does it teach us today?

Following others can be easier than following God. What did it take to be one of the first to follow Jesus? What does it mean, and what does it take to follow him now?

We can all admit that Jesus comes first, but ambition and success can be very appealing. It takes a lot to be a star and still voluntarily step out of the spotlight. Most of us can’t identify with that difficulty simply because we’ve never been “stars”. So what does it look like to put Jesus first and realize life really is not about me?

Ironically, Christmas is one of the most stressful times of the year. But Christmas is over, so now what? After the energy, the expectation, the celebration, we sit back and catch our breaths. Some of us look back on the past year. For many, depression hits. Christmas is over, now what do we do?

Christmas time can see people change. Battling armies have called a truce to observe it. Belligerent people have acted in peace. Families in conflict have put it behind them—or at least set it aside. All of us hope for the “peace on earth” the angels proclaimed. But that peace doesn’t last. The wars start again. The violence continues. The families return to conflict. Is the peace real? Join us as we learn about the real peace that was promised and how we can experience it!

What do you want for Christmas? We’ve all made our lists, even received things on the lists. As we mature, we begin to question the presents, wondering at how materialistic we’ve become and how commercial we’ve made Christmas. But is there a spiritual reality behind the giving and receiving of gifts at Christmas? Join us as we celebrate the truth that makes giving gifts a great idea!

We all have our ways of celebrating Christmas—our own traditions. Where do they come from? Our culture has its influence on us, but even our culture is influenced by something deeper. The only problem is that we don’t always see it. Behind our traditions is a truth that has existed longer than people have celebrated Christmas. In “The Roots of Christmas”, we explore the realities behind the celebration. We begin with a look at the baby in the manger. We’ve all heard about him, seen him in pageants, sung about him. But who is he? The answer is anything but the cuddly little child lying in the manger!

Prayer is communication with God—and that can include many things.
We ask for what we need, seek guidance, call for help, ask for protection, praise God and thank him for so many things. But if prayer is truly communication with God, shouldn’t that be two-way? We can talk to our Father about anything we want, but we also need to listen! The problem is, God doesn’t talk to us the way we talk to one another. So, how do I listen to God? Join us as we learn to listen to God!
