Resources to help YOU

Grow In Faith

Why is this important?

For most people, the Bible is not the first resource we turn to when facing issues or challenges in our lives. Lots of people view it as an ancient book documenting the history of a religious people thousands of years ago. As followers of Jesus Christ, we know that the Bible is much more than a history book; it's the story of God's relationship with all humankind.

As we seek to grow in faith, share Christ, and serve others, reading the Bible is invaluable. The Bible is a guidebook for navigating our lives as well. We desire to put God first in our lives, find our place in God's story, and claim the truth about who we are as God's people.

Kingdom Come: The Gospel According to Matthew

In Matthew’s Gospel, the first messages we hear from Jesus and John the Baptist are identical, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near.” Throughout Matthew’s Gospel, the Kingdom of Heaven is mentioned over 30 times* making it the most prominent topic in Jesus’ ministry. We focus this Lent on reading the book of Matthew and seeking the Kingdom.

Is That True?: The Difference Between a Meme and God's Message

We have them as our screensavers, post them on our social media accounts, and even have them on the walls or refrigerator around the house. Often times we think they are in the Bible or at least referenced in scripture. In our series, “Is That True?”, we identify common sayings, find the scriptural basis and intent, and find the truth to apply to our daily lives.

Joshua & the Promise Land

Finding our plan and purpose in life can be challenging. From Joshua’s life we learn that if we want anything substantial to change for the better in our lives we must trust in God’s promises, create a plan for following God’s lead, and clearly understand our life’s purpose, or we may not be ready or willing to receive God’s blessings when God bestows them on us.
