As we celebrate our national freedom, let us remember that our true freedom comes Jesus Christ. How can we live like we are free because of Him?

Long before generosity is a money issue, it’s a heart issue. It’s a character issue. Generosity is a spiritual issue. Am I pursuing Jesus, so that His character is being forged in me?

This teaching series we’re in is all about how the character of God—which includes generosity—impacts us in the real world with the way we spend our time, how we can be good neighbors (and have that really mean something), and how we raise our...

Who is your neighbor? What kind of neighbors are there? How can you be a good neighbor? The Bible says you must love your neighbor as yourself. Dave unpacks how this can be done.

The issue of generosity is not in the activity alone. Generosity is a matter of the heart and a character issue that flows from the character of Christ.

We have become so much of our consumerist culture that we carry this into the church—and we may not even be aware of it! We need to look at what we are called to be as a church and then put that into practice.

When you read "personal responsibility" what do you think of? How do we train/equip people to #adult by being personally responsible? What does Jesus say about this?

Physical growth comes naturally, but spiritual growth requires intentional effort. One mark of maturity is that we become more gracious—more like Christ. But it also says to grow in “knowledge.”

Just like becoming an adult is hard, so is becoming a spiritual adult. But it's very healthy! It's healthy to grow up and mature--physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

#adulting is hard. It's not easy to grow up physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Bible addresses this in many places, and this week we look at how Paul encourages us to press on toward the goal and hold true to what we have attained.

He’s righteous (Ro. 6:15-22), but His righteousness is not about moralistic deism—or just following the rules—it’s about right relationship. And today, Jesus is ALIVE, and we can be, too. You might be breathing but are you really living? Your heart...

We've seen from Romans 5 and 6 how Jesus is peace, love, life, freedom, and today...righteous. What do you think righteous means? What does the Bible say about Jesus being righteous?

You may not feel so free, despite living in America, the land of the free. What does Jesus say about freedom and how does he figure into the equation?

What is it on a grander scale, something that’s bigger than just our experience, or our love, or our affection, or our passion—that if we didn’t have THAT, we really wouldn’t have life? That’s what gets down to the essence of who Jesus is. And...

For many in our culture today, love is about caring for the poor--and it partially is. If Jesus is love, then what does that mean?

Many Christians are much more comfortable with the Jesus they've created than the Jesus of the Bible. The goal of this new series to get to the heart of who Jesus is. Scott unpacks how we can have peace with God.

There are powerful forces ripping apart the Church. We face the temptation to be a half-inch deep, live off other's spirituality, and not do the hard work of nurturing and developing our soul. We need to develop spiritual structures to help us...

For those of us who call ourselves Christians, we can read the Bible from time to time, attend worship, serve in some ministry, and yet still be emotionally and spiritually maladjusted. How do we grow on the inside?

Our culture is scattered, fragmented, un-centered, distracted, and overloaded. Instead of being whom we are where we are, we are always on the way to something else. How do we get in sync with what God wants for our lives? How do we live a life of...
