The Porch The Porch

What if you believe in God, but just don’t feel Him right now? This week, guest speaker Tyler Moffett, points us to Isaiah 49 as we consider what it means to navigate trials and suffering while trusting in God’s promises — and it all starts with a moment of surrender.

The world has repackaged the shackles of pornography as the symbol of sexual freedom — so how do we move forward? This week, Timothy "TA" Ateek points to Colossians 3:5 to remind us that we're called to put all sexual immorality - whether it's videos, books, thoughts - to death and live in the freedom that Christ offers.

If we're made new when we accept Christ, why do we try to keep the old? This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Colossians 3:1-17 to remind us that we're called to set our sin aside and set our minds on Christ instead.

Are you trying to add to Jesus? This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Colossians 2:16-23 to show us that we don't have to chase spiritual feelings, seek moral activities, or give an impressive appearance — our love of Christ is what makes us more like Him.

Do you put more weight on your faith in God or your fear of failure? This week, guest speaker Nate Hilgenkamp takes us through Numbers 13-14 to remind us that when we expand our view of God, we'll realize that He's never been (and will never be) the God of "good enough."

Who - or what - is lord of your life? If you claim Jesus Christ, then there has to be a total life transformation that follows. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Colossians 2 to give us a few lessons for the living we see Paul outline for the church of Colossae.
