We live in a culture where belief in God is widely ridiculed. Despite that cultural pressure, many people profess their faith in God. What causes people to move from skepticism and become seekers?

We look at the church’s mission in the world. What has God called us to do? What does a healthy church look like? What does a disciple in the twenty-first century look like? This is a mission-critical time for our church family!
Whether it’s a minor squabble between your children, or a major tragedy such as a fatal shooting, there’s a need to bring justice to our world—but how? Christians care deeply about issues of injustice and oppression, but get confused about how to be involved.
Too many of us walk through life without any clear idea of what we were put here to do. We just kind of make it up as we go along, all the while sensing that we are missing something. We’re busy on the outside but feel barren on the inside.
What if you could discover what God has created you to do? Pastor Doug dives into scripture to help us find out!
Easter’s Call offers us all the resources we need to build our lives. It reveals that if we really want to know Jesus, we must worship him as our King. By examining Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on what has come to be known as Palm Sunday, we understand that Jesus showed himself as King. What does that mean for us?
This week we take a look at the resources to equip us with strategies to live pure lives. We’ll examine Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and see that God’s Word functions in a very practical way to help us handle life’s trials, difficulties, and temptations. We will look at the depth and complexity of evil, Satan’s evil strategies, and how we can defeat these strategies with Scripture.
When it comes to ourselves we all like second chances! This week we dig into the third chapter of Jonah which has been called, ‘The gospel of the second chance’. This chapter shows that God is waiting for us to take advantage of second chances to serve Him and this is truly good news.
We find Jonah, the prodigal prophet, in a three-fold relationship: with God, with the pagan sailors, and with the fish. What do we learn from each of them?
