What do we consist of? Are you a body or
do you have a body? If you have a body but are not simply a body, what are
you? And why does this matter? Genesis 1 tells us that God made
us in his image (imago dei) and was pleased with our form. We need a
better concept of what it means to be human so that we can better represent
God to others. In this series we grapple with our humanity and
consider the enormous implications of being image bearers.

From the Start

apostle John. The prologue to his gospel tells us that Jesus’
coming was planned from the start. Jesus was thoroughly

history. God has made himself known in Jesus. Discover what
God had in mind from the start.

The Lost Art of
Worship
The
debate over worship continues, and any discussion on the manner
of worship still stirs strong opinions, but there is a more
pressing concern—we need to know what worship is. How can we
discuss its mannerisms if we don’t know its anatomy?
This investigation needs to start in the Old Testament where
worship originates. Before all the styles and techniques,
worship was rather rudimentary and it is in these initial
encounters that we discover the fundamentals of true worship.

Likewise
When Jesus is asked in Matthew
22 what constitutes a good life, he surprises everyone by saying
that a good life is not determined by activity, but by the
quality of one’s relationships. The good person excels in their
relationships with God and other people. Some call it
assimilating, social webbing, connecting, or fellowship, but
whatever you call it, Jesus showed us how to accomplish it. If
we want to succeed in this life we need to do likewise.

we value and you may discover that there really are some primary
matters of importance.

The Revelation

is the Cinderella of the New Testament. Filled with wonderful
imagery, magnificent composition, and thrilling theology it is
nevertheless a book that is either reduced to fantasy or
resolutely avoided. There needs to be a measured, careful
investigation into the last book of the Bible. With a careful
survey of the book to understand the message Jesus gave to
John, this series will help people navigate between
sensationalism and ignorance and end up encouraged and more
resolute in their faith.

Leap!
Our economy
insists that we are consumers—committed to getting things,
experiences, affirmation, etc. But the Bible views us
differently. We are to be collaborators—committed to living
beyond ourselves. We need to make the leap that will carry us
from being self-absorbed to being focused on others. Joy and
significance are found in a generous life. Come leap with us.

HopeFull
Hope is an
essential of life. HopeFull investigates the lives of six
biblical characters that found themselves in discouraging
circumstances. These people were flawed and frail, yet God did
not abandon them. Hope made their impossible situations the
backdrop for some of God’s greatest works. Perhaps you are
short of hope or stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Regardless of your situation, this is a set of messages that is
sure to encourage everyone.

What?!
Jesus made some outrageous statements
that really shocked his audience—just as they were designed to do. Jesus
bold speech was not due to a flair for the dramatic but a desire to grasp
his hearer’s attention. He was addressing pivotal issues that needed the
emphasis. This series reviews these statements to discover how these
pivotal issues should shape our future.
