Who's Your 1? Every 1 Matters - Sammie Young (13 August 2023)
The greatest act of love you can show toward a friend is to help that friend find Jesus. The best way to do that is to share Jesus’ story. Everyone knows someone who needs to know more. While we can’t reach everyone, we can each reach someone. We can all take responsibility for one. And, because of God’s power and the work of His Spirit, each of our ones can add up to make a significant impact ...

Exile: To the End - Robin Gough (28 May 2023)
Living the exile life means we live by faith and not sight. This faith shapes and influences every area of a person’s life. It's a faith that doesn't live in fear of death, but trusts the outcome to God alone.

Exile: Rock Solid - Robin Gough (14 May 2023)
As exiles, it’s extremely difficult to be faithful to our purpose. That’s why our faith isn’t built upon the efforts of man but the will of God. Kings come and kings go but our God is rock solid.

Exile: When in Babylon... - Robin Gough (7 May 2023)
To be a Christian is to be an exile.  We are citizens of a new kingdom. But for now, we are living as exiles in a foreign land. And the Bible has a name for the country we’ve been exiled to: Babylon. As exiles living in Babylon, we need to think biblically, Christianly, through cultural and political issues. In this series, we will discuss ways we can disentangle our Babylonianism from our Chri...

The Wonderful Cross: What actually happened? - Robin Gough (9 April 2023)
Was God just sending a message through the cross, or did something actually happen? Ask a Christian that, and they'll probably say something like, "Jesus died in my place" or "Jesus was the perfect sacrifice." But do we understand how statements fit in God's story and in our own stories?

Walk in Christ: In the Wisdom of Christ - Robin Gough (26 February 2023)
