C.S. Lewis wrote: “We may be content to remain what we call ‘ordinary people.’ But He is determined to carry out quite a different plan.” Stephen was an ordinary man who valued following Jesus more than he valued his earthly life. The disciples recognized him as “full of faith and of the Holy Spirit,” and “full of God’s grace and power.” The entire…

Peter and John pray for boldness and for miracles … and then God’s answers shake the world. What does our prayer life say about our view of God? If he answered what we prayed for this week, how would the world look different?저자 Pastor Luke Uran

There's a lot more to the story of Daniel in the lions' den than what gets included in most kids' Bible storybooks. This week we'll look at how a constant posture of gratitude to God helps us stand against opposition and trust him with our fears.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

It’s THAT section — the one every modern congregation reads and then says, "Why can’t our church be like that?” And then we think about all of the legitimate obstacles. Was the early church an unattainable ideal for us today? Or, as we dig into this passage together, might we discover something we’ve been missing?…

Comfort does not equal contentment. In fact, one often works against the other. As we navigate a culture that craves comfort but can't ever seem to find true contentment, there is no better example than the Apostle Paul.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

The story of David and Goliath is one of the most widely known in the Bible, and maybe one of the most misapplied. A closer look shows us the importance of what happened in David’s life long before that battlefield encounter. What exactly is faithful fighting and how exactly is the armor of God involved?…

God’s prophet, Samuel, anoints a future king. But David looks nothing like what anyone expected, and there’s a long and difficult road ahead before he takes the throne. Those plot twists can be instructive for us all when it comes to God’s calling.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

The final chapter of John’s gospel provides vivid examples of Jesus’ love and restoration, no matter how badly we have messed up. This final week in our sermon series speaks to Jesus’ mercy, his care for you and his calling on your life—a calling that looks different from anyone else’s.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

Jesus’ resurrection is the turning point for the whole world – past, present and future. The empty tomb changes everything, for everyone.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

Jesus’ final words on the cross tell us much about who he is, what he did and how our lives and relationships changed forever as a result.

In John 18, Jesus walks into betrayal and denial—not as a victim, but as the sovereign Savior. Even in our failure, he remains in control, offering grace, restoration and hope.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

Jesus is about to leave his disciples. This was unthinkable for them. But in the culmination of the conversation in that Upper Room, he explains how everything that’s about to happen is for their benefit—and ours.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

A fruitful life starts with a faithful connection. This week, we dive further into Jesus’ words to his disciples in that upper room. He calls them, and us, to remain in him and bear lasting fruit. What does this look like?저자 Pastor Luke Uran

Jesus knows his disciples’ world is about to fall apart. Rather than give them a plan of action, he gives them (and us) something better to hold onto: assurance of who he is, and that he will be with them always.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

Jesus’ entry to Jerusalem was indeed triumphal, but not in the political way the crowds wanted or expected. His actions over the coming days would reveal what true greatness looks like—and they set several patterns for us to follow today.

Where is God when life falls apart? It’s the literal question Mary and Martha are asking when their brother, Lazarus, dies. Jesus’ response—and the timing of his response—has much to teach us about faith, hope and the character of God.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

Jesus describes an image the Jewish people knew well: wandering sheep, and the shepherd who gathers and cares for them. We can be wanderers, too—often by choice. Do we hear and recognize his voice?

In Genesis 1, God created light and brought the world out of darkness. Jesus described himself in a similar way. As the Light of the World, he wants to enter our brokenness and set things right—even in a dark world where his healing light is not always welcome.저자 Pastor David Creek

Jesus follows one of his most famous miracles—the feeding of the 5,000—with a bold proclamation about his identity … and then some jarring statements about his flesh and blood. For the “fans” looking for miracles and free food, this was too much. They were done. But we can learn a lot from the true followers who stayed.…

A hungry crowd. A deadly storm. When things feel out of control—then and right now—Jesus is greater than it all. When we realize who he really is, and we trust him enough to do what he says, incredible things can happen.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

“Get up, pick up your mat and walk.” For a man who had lost all hope, Jesus steps in. This powerful story also shows us the way Jesus heals and restores far more than just our physical bodies.저자 Pastor Luke Uran

A Jewish man, talking in public with a Samaritan woman known mostly for her moral failings. Scandalous! Jesus set aside ethnic, cultural, social and political barriers to speak to a weary soul and call her to himself, the Messiah. We can learn a lot from this holy interaction.저자 Pastor David Creek

If anyone could have thought they were right with God, it was Nicodemus. Yet, Jesus offered him a challenge that he continues offering to every person today: You need to be born again. What exactly does this mean, and how do we know? A deeper look at this familiar passage may surprise you.저자 Pastor Luke Uran
