True Love

What does it take to stay in-love in our marriage? What if God created marriage to make us more loving and forgiving like Him? In this study, Pastor Andy discusses what we can learn in Scripture about True Love.

He Came, He Saw, & He Found

Encountering Jesus changes lives from the inside out. He calls anyone to follow him, but it doesn’t come without sacrifice.  He came to us, He sees us, and we are found by Him.  Will you follow?

Jesus is the cure!

The world is feeding us self-affirming lies that we are all OK. The narrative goes like this: “You be you, and I’ll be me; we are all fine. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” But we are not OK. And if we were, then why have suicide rates steadily increased in American over the past […]

The God of Restoration

In our society we typically throw away things that are broken or in terrible condition. But not God! He loves what is broken and discarded because then He can mend them and reclaim them for His glory. In other words, God is the God of restoration.

A “spiritual discipline” is a habit, practice, or experience designed to develop, grow, and strengthen one’s relationship with the Lord. Bible study, periodic fasting, attending church would all be examples of […]

Heaven and How to Get There

What will Heaven be like? How can we get there? Pastor Gary answers these two questions today’s study from John 14. Many people think that if they are good enough they will get to Heaven when they die, but then the question becomes, “How good is good enough?” Thankfully, Jesus died on a cross for our sins because […]
