PART 4

Today, we wrestle with complicated ethical issues—the morality of war, the appropriateness of capital punishment, and abortion. Although the Bible doesn’t address these topics as clearly as we might like, it provides an essential principle to help to guide our way.

PART 3

There are going to be times when we look at what it means to follow Jesus’ teachings and struggle with how to respond because we don’t want to follow—it seems too hard. When that happens, what are we to do?

PART 2

Culture offers a variety of opinions on sex, ranging from “if it feels good, do it” to recommending a checklist to make sure you’re not rushing into it. But scripture gives a very different perspective on sex, and reveals a significance to sex that we may not realize.

PART 1

How should followers of Jesus engage in politics? In this message from our Tough Talks series, we explore how to navigate politics with faith, love, and unity.

PART 5

Do you ever wonder about the future? What happens when we die? Is there an afterlife? And if so, what’s it like? Thinking about eternity can be overwhelming, but one thing’s still true—how we live now matters later.

PART 4

Most people’s values are shaped and influenced by many things, like their family, their experiences, and the culture around them. For a follower of Jesus, though, where should we get our values?

PART 3

It’s been said the two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you finally figure out why. So the question is…why are you here?

PART 2

Are we the result of chance, or are we the product of an intentional design? It’s more than a question for scientists to debate—it affects how we see ourselves and the people around us.

PART 1

We all wonder about the big questions in life—Where did I come from? What’s my purpose? What happens when I die? Finding answers to those questions depends upon how we answer the most basic of questions—What is real?

PART 7

Every moment of every day, there are opportunities to join God in the work he’s doing. Prayer is what helps us join God in that work instead of missing out.

PART 6

No one likes being on hold. If you’re waiting on unanswered prayers, hold on.

PART 5

It’s easy to treat prayer as just a way to convince God to do what we want him to do. There’s so much more to the purpose of prayer—it lies in surrender.

Another important component of prayer is asking. But how do we ask, and what do we ask for?

PART 3

How do we overcome the stress and worry of our lives? The key lies in building reflection into our prayer.

PART 2

To move forward in prayer, we first need to learn how to pause—but who has time for that?! This week, we learn why and how to slow down our busy lives and frenetic pace enough to pause.

PART 1

Prayer can be frustrating, confusing, or even intimidating, depending on your background. But prayer is one of the most important things we can do, and fortunately, Jesus teaches us how.

PART 5

“Confess your sins to each other…” This is a line that most of us would rather ignore. Let’s talk about why confession isn’t a bad thing—when done correctly, it repairs and restores and heals us.

PART 4

We all like to think we’re in control, and we try so hard in so many ways to keep control. But true freedom and progress come when we accept an important truth—I am not in control.

PART 3

Anytime we do something that hurts ourselves or others, there’s something going on beneath the surface. What do we do about that? We need to start being curious.

PART 2

Most of life’s battles are won or lost in your mind. This week we’ll talk about some practical things you can do to win more than you lose.
