Did you know there was a governor in the Bible who enjoyed his job, witnessed miracles and was just like you? His name was Nehemiah. And this weekend, you’ll hear his story in the our new series: 60 Minutes with the President. Trust me, what we are talking about this Sunday will resonate with your soul. It is what you have been feeling for awhile about your leaders but maybe you haven’t quite been able to verbalize it.

Join us for a three-week series as we look at the heroes of the faith that have gone before us. We’ll examine the life of Joseph who was blessed by a loving father, Rebekah who extended grace, and Moses who moved from safety to significance. Running with the giants will change your life.

Talking about the Holy Spirit can make people nervous. The Holy Spirit and the Trinity can be confusing. And to make things more complicated, the Bible uses a number of different words for the Holy Spirit. So how to we make sense of all of this? What does it mean and how does it relate to our lives? Join us for this three-week series as we look at the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Do you ever wonder what God’s will is for your life? It can often seem cryptic or mysterious to know what God wants you to do.

We talk a lot about lives transformed, but what does that mean? What does a transformed life look like and how do we get there? It has to be more than the “life transformation” that is offered by the newest kitchen appliance or exercise machine. This weekend hear the stories of those who have been transformed, see them be baptized as a public announcement of their faith in Jesus, and party with them in the glowing result.

Does the story of the Bible seem complicated to you? Most people feel that way. It is a big book. And the story line is difficult to follow. And there are some parts that just don’t seem to make any sense! But there’s good news. The story itself isn’t very complicated at all. In fact, it is amazingly simple. So in our brand new message series “The Cast” launching this weekend, we are going to tell you the story of the Bible in a way that you will be able to understand. And we are going to tell it from the very beginning all the way to the end.

When it comes to your faith, are you hanging out in the shallow end of the pool? The Bible says that we are to grow to maturity in Christ. But what does that look like? The answer may surprise you. This weekend we’ll at what it really means to move beyond that which is shallow and to “go deep” in your faith.

We are starting a new series this weekend called Intervention. The series is based on the Old Testament book of Jonah. Jonah is great drama. It involves a man on the run, life-threatening situations, difficult decisions, and a surprise ending – and yes, a big fish! Most important, this little book (four chapters) has some profound things to say about a God who, out of his great love for us, is willing to “intervene” in our lives. Wherever you are in your own spiritual journey, we’re convinced you’ll find hope and help from Jonah.

Love, the word so ubiquitous in our culture that it has lost much of its meaning. We love everything – our kids, our house, our new car, our favorite team, Starbucks coffee. What does it mean when we say we love something or when someone says they love us? What does love really look like? The advent (coming) of Christ into the world 2,000 years ago reminds us that love has a name – and his name is Jesus.
