Magnify Church - Rockford Blythefield Hills Baptist Church

The storms of life are coming. If you aren’t in the midst of one now, just wait. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world.” Stu Quackenbush continues our Storyteller’s series in Luke and challenges us to dig deep and build our lives on the only solid foundation, Jesus Christ.

We are rescued people, saved from condemnation through the blood of Jesus Christ. Yet in this broken fallen world, it can be hard to remember the forgiveness we’ve received and extend it to others. Ben Phebus offers encouragement from Luke 6 as we seek to love the way Jesus loves.

How do we live the Christian Life in the midst of so much hate? How can we say we love Jesus, but not hold to His teaching to love our enemies? Our guest teacher, Elie Haddad who is the President of the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Beirut Lebanon, shares a unique perspective on the way to find joy and peace in the midst of conflict.

It's easy to love those who love you, but what about those who don't? What about people in your life who intentionally do harm to you? Stu Quackenbush continues in the Storyteller Series with one of the hardest teachings of Jesus on what it means to truly love those who hate you and hurt you.

What motivates your decisions and whose advice means the most to you? Matt Zainea unpacks Jesus’s teaching on the blessings and woes in Luke and helps us understand what lies behind our anxieties, jealousies, fantasies, and resentments.

If Jesus prayed all night before choosing His disciples, how much more should we pray before making decisions or dealing with challenges in our lives? Matt Zainea continues our Storytellers series and shows us how to stay connected to God as we follow Jesus’ pattern for life and ministry.
