Do you have a “High Definition” television? HD TV’s are extremely popular these days because the picture is much sharper, cleaner, and well, just better than “standard definition.” You might say HD offers us more clarity. We believe the Bible offers clarity on the best way to live, and how to handle even the most difficult issues in life. For the next five weeks we are going to look at what Scripture has to say about some of the hard issues students and their friends navigate through every day.

Habits are not always bad. Habits can provide a framework for living a healthy, Christ-centered life in the midst of what is often a hectic, chaotic world. What kind of habits characterize your life? What are your routines? What are your “default” behaviors when life gets crazy? Join us for a four-week series as we take a journey toward wholeness.

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.

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.

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.

There are over 2000 verses in the Bible that talk about “bling bling!” That is right. Jesus said more about money then He said about Heaven or Hell. Amazing. And guess what? He didn’t just say give all your money away. That would be silly. Instead, in the Bible God gives us a very understandable, well-rounded approach to handling money. And there has never been a better time to begin handling our money God’s way then right now.

Do you have questions about God? Questions about how God is at work in the world? Questions about how God is at work in your life? You’re not alone. God often works in ways that are baffling and confusing to us. Sometimes it leaves us with unanswered questions, wonder and doubt. We’d like to know the kind of questions you think about. Not so we can provide easy answers, but just to better understand what you’re dealing with.

There is alot of confusion about baptism. Why do we do it? Does it matter how we do it? (Infant baptism vs. being baptized when you’re older). Join us this weekend to learn more about what the Bible says about baptism and hear stories of people who are being baptized.
