Maybe you've always thought of the disciple Thomas with some degree of disdain, like perhaps he's maybe just one step above Judas Iscariot. Today, we're going to see that God used Thomas in some pretty important ways. Thomas decided to follow Jesus, and his life was transformed. Jesus can transform our lives, too.

Some people called her lazy. Others saw her in her most broken place. Still others characterized her as wasteful. But there was something really special about a young woman named Mary who lived in the little town of Bethany just a couple of miles east of Jerusalem and who decided to follow Jesus.

During his life, the Apostle John changed from a brash young man who wanted to call down fire from Heaven on the heathen to a loving old man whose message was consumed with Christ’s followers loving one another. What happened? How did this one who wanted to sit at Jesus’ side in His messianic glory become humbled to the point that he simply delighted in being called God’s child and seeing his spiritual children walk in truth? Join ...

If you’ve decided to follow Jesus, your life will be different from the world. There is no such thing as a follower of Jesus who is not being transformed by the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Christ. That doesn’t mean Christ-followers are perfect, but it means that God is actively working within our lives to make us better—more like Jesus—throughout our lives.

What made Mary Magdalene special? Can believers be possessed by demons? Should all disciples seek to be exorcists? Pastor Jeff and Jordan discuss spiritual warfare and encourage discipleship as the way to stand firm in the faith.

Mary Magdalene is one of the most well-known and misunderstood of all of Jesus' early disciples. In the two-thousand-or-so years since she started following Jesus, she's been labeled a prostitute, an adulterous woman, and even Jesus' wife. We have no biblical evidence whatsoever that she was any of those things. We do know some important facts about her life, and they paint for us a stunningly beautiful portrait of a Christ-followe...
What was so special about Peter? Was he the first to confess Jesus as Christ? Why did he repent when Judas did not? Pastor Jeff breaks down Peter’s decisions and shows how disciples who have stumbled can turn back to Jesus, and Jordan compares Peter to Judah, leader of the twelve sons of Israel and the ancestor of Jesus.

Peter was an ordinary person, simply trying to build his life and support his family, when he met Jesus. He spoke quickly, acted brashly, and often learned lessons the hard way; but he loved Jesus—imperfectly, but intensely—and God used him to change the world. Learn with us today how God can use imperfect people like Peter (and us) once we have decided to follow Jesus.

What are Daniel's visions about? How should disciples approach the Bible’s prophetic passages? Why isn’t biblical storytelling always linear? This week, Pastor Jeff and Jordan dive into Daniel 7 to discuss prophecy, eschatology, and apologetics.

What is the basis for our hope as Christians? We talk about how, in Christ, we have a hope that anchors our souls even in life's toughest storms, but what is that hope built upon? Through Daniel, we are going to see the reason why we who trust and follow Jesus can have hope no matter what life brings is because our God is the eternal victor!

Is there more to Daniel’s story than surviving a lions’ den? Is his life proof of the prosperity gospel? What’s in his name? This week, Pastor Jeff and Jordan reexamine a favorite Bible story and draw fresh inspiration from it for enduring the trials of this age.

Faith is more than a theory to be espoused or a theology to be believed; it is a life to be lived. Daniel lived his life of faith in God even when doing so was difficult in the moment, and he showed us that God’s way always works out better in the end.

Life gets hard. We recognize more and more that this world is not our home, and we are consistently thrust into situations in which we must make a decision and take a stand – will we follow our God, or will we follow the world? We are often in difficult spots, but just as God was present with Daniel and his friends, so also is He present with His people today – and His presence changes everything.
