Be Ready
In this message we are called to think deeply about what it means to be ready for the second coming of Christ. This is a posture that can be somewhat complicated and scary to consider. However, it doesn’t have to be. Thankfully, Jesus doesn’t leave us to fend for ourselves in this matter, and through this text you’ll see that Jesus is for us and will help prepare us.

God’s Plan for Israel and His Love for Wayward Children
With this message, we are still in Matthew, but taking a detour through Romans 11. We want to better understand what Jesus is saying will happen in the end. And we want to feel God’s heart for the lost people of Israel; to be encouraged that he has chosen to be faithful to them and to those we love even in the midst of their unfaithfulness to him.

Who Makes Your Decisions

Freedom from Fear
