Does God choose who is saved? Is that fair? And if God is sovereign over salvation, are people still responsible for how they respond to Him? In Romans 9:14-24, Pastor Kyle walks through one of the most debated passages in the Bible, exploring election, God’s justice, the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, and the mystery of God’s sovereignty. At the center of the passage is a truth that changes the…
We cannot just have the Paul’s theology, we need to have his tears and his burden for the lost. In Romans 9, unbelief isn't approached as a theological problem to solve. Rather, Paul is heartbroken over people he loves who are far from Christ. But their unbelief also raises some difficult questions. Israel had every spiritual advantage, yet many still rejected Jesus. Had God’s promises failed? And…
Every relationship you've ever had has had conditions. People leave. Friendships end. Marriages fail. Families disappoint. We learn from experience that love always has a limit. So, what about God's love? In this message, Pastor Kyle walks through the five questions the Apostle Paul asks in Romans 8:31-39 to show why followers of Jesus can have unshakable confidence in God's love. This message…
Can you really trust that God is working all things together for your good? Romans 8:28 is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible, but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In Romans 8:26-30, the Apostle Paul reminds us that God's promise isn't that everything that happens to us is good. It's that God is actively working through every joy, every disappointment, every unanswered prayer, and…
Every one of us knows things aren't the way they're supposed to be. We see it in a broken world, broken relationships, broken bodies, and the unanswered questions that come when suffering enters our lives. In Romans 8:18-25, the Apostle Paul reminds us that our pain isn't meaningless. Creation is groaning. We are groaning. But our suffering is more like labor pains than a funeral. It's painful,…
Many people believe God forgives them, yet they still live as though they need to earn his approval. They obey out of fear instead of love and wonder if they'll ever measure up. In Romans 8:12-17, we're reminded that God didn't simply forgive our sins, but he adopted us into his family. When the Holy Spirit changes your identity, everything else begins to change. You can fight sin from a place of…
No one sets out to waste their life. But over time, it's easy to drift or settle for less than what God has called us to. In Joshua 14, Caleb gives us a picture of what it looks like to stay faithful to God for a lifetime. In this message, Zach Meyer explores four characteristics of enduring faith that will help you follow Jesus with integrity, wholehearted devotion, trust, and zeal through every…
Every parent is shaping their child's heart. The question is: what are you shaping it toward? In Deuteronomy 6, God gives parents a vision that's far bigger than simply raising well-behaved kids. He's calling us to raise disciples who know and love Him. In this message, Pastor Spencer Martin shares practical wisdom for Christian parents on raising children in the Lord. Discover how your own walk…
What do you do when God's plan doesn't match your plan? Most of us are willing to follow God until His way conflicts with what we want. That's exactly where Jonah found himself. In Jonah 4, we discover that Jonah's biggest problem wasn't the storm, the fish, or even Nineveh. It was a heart that still struggled to say "yes" to God. In this message, Pastor Spence Shelton unpacks why we resist God's…
Who are you worried about? Most of us carry burdens for people we love, but what are we supposed to do with that worry? In Genesis 18:22-33, Abraham is deeply concerned about his nephew Lot. Instead of being consumed by anxiety, he brings his burden to God through intercessory prayer. In this message, Pastor Josh Miller shows us how to turn worry into prayer and why God is still looking for people…
