    App of the Week – Grace
    Feb 12 2026
    Grace – Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son is one of the most beautiful stories in the Bible. It shows us, not just how God views rebellious people, but how we should too. As recipients of grace, we should be granters of grace. Second chances are the heartbeat of God.

    App of the Week – Excellence
    Feb 12 2026
    Excellence – Legendary coach Vince Lombardi once said you cannot achieve perfection. But if you chase perfection, you will catch excellence. The reality is that God expects us to chase perfection and catch excellence. We will fail of course, that’s why we need grace. But He deserves our very best, and we’re going to talk about that today.

    App of the Week – Prayer
    Jan 29 2026
    Prayer – The Apostle Paul says we are to pray without ceasing. James, the brother of Jesus, says the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective Jesus Himself says we are to pray with persistence and with assurance that He hears and answers. The thing is, we always pray for God’s will to be done. It’s been said that Prayer is not giving God instructions, but reporting for duty. Today’s parable will take us there.

    Baptism and Temptations of Jesus
    Jan 8 2026
    Baptism and Temptations of Jesus – Jesus began His ministry with baptism by John the Baptist, and temptations in the wilderness by Satan. He was baptized as an example to us, His temptations offer a warning to us. When we get serious about our faith, Satan comes after us harder than ever. We cannot just Try to live for Jesus. We must Train to do it; and when we fail, we Trust God’s grace to sustain us.

    Why Christmas – Connect
    Jan 8 2026
    Connect – It seems that Jesus could have just put on flesh, stepped into our world as an adult, and done his 3 years of public ministry. In and out as quickly as possible. Why was he born into poverty, and why live 30 years in obscurity, before fulfilling His purpose? We’ll talk today about why Christmas–the arrival of Jesus as a baby–was so foundational to His mission.

    Between a Rock and a Hard Place – Nehemiah
    Dec 17 2025
    Nehemiah was a great leader…a godly leader. His Old Testament book offers a tremendous example of our partnership with God. We pray, trusting God. We act, as God leads. Prayer and Action are not Either/Or, but Both/And.
