Wait, There's More /// The Purpose of Prayer

Cleanliness is next to godliness.  God helps those who help themselves. God won't give you more than you can handle. We've all heard these expressions... but are they true? Are they in the Bible? Did Jesus actually say them? Join us as Kayra Montanez from Liquid Church unpacks the truth of what Jesus says about us, Himself, and why we experience trials in our lives. Speaker: Kayra Montanez

Wait, There's More /// Jesus Didn't Say That

Wait, There's More /// Understanding The Assignment

Life and death.  Blessing and curse.  Our choices can have major consequences.  Join us as we explore how God, in His love and mercy toward us, offers us a life with Him that is beyond what the world offers.  Will you choose the way of Jesus? Speaker: Angela Beise

Wait, There's More /// Choose Blessing

Wait, There's More /// Make My Joy Complete

It's Jesus.  It's always Jesus.  We explore the grace that's offered to all of us because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. And we hear the stories of the people that are getting baptized in 2023. Speaker: Greg Holder

Baptism 2023 /// Baptism 2023

The Answer to Your Biggest Question of All /// People Can Change

Jesus tells us his way is easy and will lighten our burdens.  He offers us rest.  This runs deeper than just being tired, this is an offer of peace that brings healing and hope to all parts of our life.  Join us as we explore how the deepest, heaviest, loneliest parts of life are not too far out of reach for what Jesus continually offers us. Speaker: Greg Holder

The Answer to Your Biggest Question of All /// For Anyone Weary

Have you ever wondered how to get free from the weight of guilt,  when do I start feeling some hope, will I ever experience joy?   Does MY life have meaning?  If there’s a God, what does he want from me?  Where do I stand with him?There is a hopeful answer to all of these questions as we open the Bible and see what it has to say.  Join us as we consider how Jesus pursues even those that may not seem deserving of his love and grace. Speaker: Greg Holder

The Answer to Your Biggest Question of All /// He Forgives My Sins

We all want growth.  For our lives to advance, prosper, flourish.  Growth takes time.  But real, deep, meaningful growth also requires time in God's Word and the work of the Holy Spirit.  Join us as we consider what a purposeful, flourishing life can look like.  Speaker: Tim Bounds

Everyone loves a good story. From the youngest to the not-so-youngest, we are drawn to a good story. We explore how our story and God's story can actually be intertwined with ours, and that should lead us to ask more questions about our own story. This leads us to the baptism, an ancient practice that followers of Jesus are asked to do to tell a watching world that we are with Him. Speaker: Greg Holder

The Story of You & God /// The Story of You & God

Waiting is hard. And when it comes to waiting, most of us wonder "How long do I have to wait?" We wonder if it's time to give up. The Apostle Paul in Acts continues his journey to Rome, and along this journey, we learn what it looks like it wait with faith and hope, and how God carries us every step of the way. Speaker: Greg Holder

The Rest of Our Story /// The Kingdom Unleashed

Waiting. Trials. Patience.  Perseverance.  These are heavy words and not always fun to talk about.  But waiting and hoping are part of this life, and the Bible has some brutally honest but very encouraging things to say about it.  We are near the end of our study in the Book of Acts, where the apostle Paul has his life threatened and is left in jail for two years.  Even in those moments, we are reminded of a God that does not flee from us or forget us.  We are reminded of a hope in Jesus that will sustain us. Speaker: Greg Holder

The Rest of Our Story /// What Gets You Through

Who are the gentiles?  Why were they treated like outcasts in Jesus' day?  Did Jesus die for them too?So many things divide us.  Politics, traditions, neighborhoods, race, language, age... the list goes on.  This was also true 2000 years ago.  Join us as we open Acts 21 and explore how the Good News of Jesus Christ transcends every perceived barrier, and brings unity to His followers in a way that nothing else can unite people. Speaker: Angela Beise

The Rest of Our Story /// No Longer Divided

How curious are you?  Psychologist Adam Grant suggests that we overestimate what we think we know, especially when we don't know much.  We follow the Apostle Paul in Acts 19 through several amazing stories, including supernatural healings, dealing with sorcery and demons, and a riot that breaks out.  Some folks he encounters are very curious about Jesus, others immediately resort to violence.  We tackle all of your questions about these passages and more.  Join us! Speaker: Tim Bounds

The Rest of Our Story /// Healings and Riots in Ephesus

Noise. Distractions. Busy schedules. Having a "cluttered" life is not a new phenomenon. Join us as we look at Acts 17, where Paul goes to the cultural hub of Athens and shows how the Good News of Jesus rises above the noise and clutter, and is exactly what our hearts are longing for... even today. Speaker: Greg Holder

The Rest of Our Story /// Finding God in the Clutter

We begin a two-part series called Loud Parades And Empty Tombs, covering Palm Sunday and Easter.  Join us as we consider the final days of Jesus' earthly ministry, including the triumphal entry, his trial before Pontius Pilate, his crucifixion on the cross, and what it means to anticipate Easter with hope and joy. Speaker: Greg Holder

Loud Parades & Empty Tombs /// Palm Sunday

How should we pray when we're facing challenges? Can God turn a bad situation around? Does God still do miracles when we face the impossible? Join us as we look at Acts 16, where Paul and Silas are in prison. And even in the middle of that problem, God uses it as an opportunity to advance His story through them. Speaker: Angela Beise

The Rest of Our Story /// Apostle Paul in Prison

We're in Acts 16 where the Good News of Jesus takes a roadtrip. The Apostle Paul goes from city to city, sharing the Gospel, starting in synagogues, oftentimes being championed by prominent women in the community, then taking root as house churches. The people that come to believe are known as the "ekklesia". Join us as we learn more about this word, the surprising cast of people that made up the early church, and what this means for us today. Speaker: Tim Bounds

The Rest of Our Story /// Ekklesia

What does true religion require of us? Jumping through hoops? Keeping rules perfectly? And which set of rules, since there are so many religions out there? We unpack the life-changing, religion deflating, Jesus glorifying idea of grace and how it caused a chain reaction in the early church and can still change the world today. Speaker: Greg Holder
