Curb Appeal

Jesus tells His disciples to be salt and light. As salt and light, we can help the world around us to see Him better. Because of what Jesus does and promises, we are able to be salt and light in our world.  



Different Angle

This week we begin a new series about the Sermon on the Mount. Although the sermon teaches important ways to change our lives, it is most of all a sermon about what God is doing and how His presence changes us. Many will look at the beatitudes as another list of characteristics for Christians to […]



Two Become One

When Jesus is asked about divorce in Mark 10, He takes the opportunity to talk about God’s design for marriage. Paul explains more of that design in Ephesians 5. Marriage values women in a way that was revolutionary and places responsiblity on both husband and wife to be like Jesus.

My Redeemer Lives

Jesus appeared several times after His resurrection. As we close our series on the Gospel of John, we look at the appearances recorded by John and what we can learn about Jesus from each of them.
