The gospel is made beautiful when the least likely people live out their faith in unexpected ways. God's grace is for everyone, and everyone can live it out in a way that makes people say, wow.

No matter who you are or how long you've been around, God has something specific for you. Live out your faith. May your life reflect the power of God's grace working in your life.

The grace of God is for all people. All people can be saved. All saved people can live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God. Message by Jordan Wertz.

Titus' first action was to get the right leaders in place and make sure the old leaders who were teaching error were dealt with. The truth is so good, don't twist it or mess it up! Message by Tony Koch.

We start a series through the book of Titus. It's about reaching the island of Crete with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It starts with getting the right leaders in place.

What is true hope? Message by Tony Holloman

We build a bed on stage and wade through the beautiful messiness of generosity. You'll find today's story of generosity in 2 Kings 4.

Why would people on the other side of the world matter to us and what can we do about it? Paul spent much of his ministry raising money for people thousands of miles away from any of the churches he started. People very different in every way supported people in need because they had an "in this together" generosity.

Our Bible message today is from Deuteronomy and God's heart for a system that is set up with generosity in mind. Releasing slaves, cancelling debts. Why would anyone do such a thing? Well, if you remember where you came from, you might be able to be generous towards others who are in a similar situation as you were.

Boaz's generosity towards a non-jewish woman with nothing to offer in return.

A shepherd is a high calling. Do you really believe that the Lord will be with you as you level up and step into these things? God's goodness gets better and better and you see more and more of what God is doing in and through you.

A shepherd protects their sheep from enemies. They also provide for the sheep to keep them safe and growing.

There are many ways you can treat or attempt to lead a flock of sheep. Only one way follows the example of the Great Shepherd. May our guidance of others help them feel comfort and not be afraid.

TWO special things in this new series. Join us in memorizing Psalm 23 and think about your SHEPHERD SHOUTOUT. Today is all about our relational connection with the great shepherd and how to strengthen our relationships with the sheep God has brought into our lives.

Extravagant worship. It seems like a waste. You can't look past the perceived waste of money and your better plans. Let's move beyond the moment and see more of who God is beyond the walls we set up. We have much to thank him for, way beyond what we even understand today.

Today is all about the cross. Simon is forced to carry the cross for Jesus and Jesus' final words from the cross. It doesn't get more powerful than this. God's love and justice converge and climax in this moment. 

There is a war between truth and falsehood. We see these battles show up when Jesus (the Truth) is on trial. One either accepts the truth or is forced to find another creative way to deal with it. The truth will set you free.

Jesus was in control every step of the way, from the garden to the cross. As the world plotted, schemed, lied, and manipulated, Jesus stayed steadfast in the truth. He was in total control although his circumstances might of indicated otherwise.
