Out with the Old, in with the New

Micah Bucy — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 23:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | March 30, 2023

Test of Godly Wisdom

Micah Bucy — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 00:30:00 +0000

James 3:13-18

Nate Brawn | March 9, 2023

Test of the Tongue

Micah Bucy — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 00:30:00 +0000

James 3:1-12

Alan Bowdler | March 2, 2023

Test of Works

Micah Bucy — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 00:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | February 23, 2023

Test of Partiality

Micah Bucy — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:30:00 +0000

James 2:1-13

Stephen Morris | February 16, 2023

Test of Response to the Word

Micah Bucy — Fri, 10 Feb 2023 00:30:00 +0000

We’re not only meant to hear the truth of God’s Word but also live it out. Being a doer of the Word leads to genuine blessing and joy.

Dan Cooper | February 9, 2023

Test of Temptation

Micah Bucy — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 00:30:00 +0000

James 1:13-18

Dan Cooper | February 2, 2023

Test of Suffering

Micah Bucy — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:30:00 +0000

James 1:1-12

Dan Cooper | January 26, 2023

The Exclusivity of Christianity

Micah Bucy — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 00:30:00 +0000

Todd Schreiner | January 19, 2023

Baptized in Christ

Micah Bucy — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 00:30:00 +0000

The Promise

Micah Bucy — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Stephen Morris | November 10, 2022

The Covenant

Micah Bucy — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 23:30:00 +0000

The sign of circumcision, instituted with Abraham, was more than just a physical act. The spiritual implication reveals it has more to do with the heart, which remains true for us today.

Genesis 17:1-14

Stephen Morris | November 3, 2022

The Call

Micah Bucy — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 23:30:00 +0000

Genesis 12:1-9, 15:1-21

Josiah Callahan | October 27, 2022

Idol of Power

Micah Bucy — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 23:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | October 6, 2022

Idol of Sex

Micah Bucy — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 23:30:00 +0000

We’re so prone to making sex an idol because it represents our greatest longing, which is the gospel itself.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Dan Cooper | September 29, 2022

Idol of Love

Micah Bucy — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 23:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | September 22, 2022

Making the Good Ultimate

Micah Bucy — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 23:30:00 +0000

John 1:1-14

Dan Cooper | September 1, 2022

Darkness Exposed

Micah Bucy — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 23:30:00 +0000

We have the choice to remain in the darkness of our sin or step into the light of Jesus. One leads to eternal separation from God. The other leads to eternal life with Him.

Isaiah 59; John 3:16-20

Dan Cooper | August 25, 2022

Faithful Proclamation

Micah Bucy — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 23:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | April 21, 2022

Equipped for Faithfulness

Micah Bucy — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 23:30:00 +0000

2 Timothy 3:10-17

Jonathan Sheaffer | April 14, 2022

Faithful in the Dark

Micah Bucy — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 23:30:00 +0000

Alan Bowdler | April 7, 2022

Faithfully Correcting Falsity

Micah Bucy — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 23:30:00 +0000

Tim Marrero | March 17, 2022

A Call to Faithfulness

Micah Bucy — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:30:00 +0000

2 Timothy 1:1-18

Dan Cooper | March 10, 2022

How Should I be Dating?

Micah Bucy — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Dating different means dating in a way that honors Jesus, which will always look different than how the world dates.

Dan Cooper | March 3, 2022

Who Should I be Dating?

Micah Bucy — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In dating, we’re not looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend. We’re looking for a future husband or wife who will help us fulfill God’s vision and purpose for marriage with us.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Dan Cooper | February 24, 2022

Should I be Dating?

Micah Bucy — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 00:30:00 +0000

We spend so much time focusing on who and how we’re dating when our first priority should be who we’re becoming. God’s will for us is first and foremost our sanctification, not that we’d be dating.

Dan Cooper | February 17, 2022

What is Dating?

Micah Bucy — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Slavery in the Bible

Micah Bucy — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 00:30:00 +0000

1 Peter 2:18-25

Chase Jones | January 27, 2022

Mike Castelli | January 20, 2022

Believing the Bible

Micah Bucy — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 00:30:00 +0000

What We Sing: It is Finished

Micah Bucy — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 00:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | September 2, 2021

Freedom’s Façade

Micah Bucy — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 23:30:00 +0000

#SelfCare

Micah Bucy — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 23:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | April 22, 2021

#YouAreEnough

Micah Bucy — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 23:30:00 +0000

Dan Cooper | April 1, 2021

More than a Building Pt 4

Micah Bucy — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 00:30:00 +0000

When believers discover and use their spiritual gifts, the church grows and is built up. When we fail to do this, the body’s growth is stunted.

Dan Cooper | March 11, 2021

More than a Building Pt 3
