    Love Hurts

    Why did Jesus have to suffer? He lived a life of perfect love—loving God completely and loving others without fail. Yet, He faced unimaginable pain and death. Why? Because His way of love clashed so deeply with the brokenness of the world that it couldn’t be tolerated. The way of Jesus stood in stark contrast to the systems of power and self-interest, and the world’s response was to try and destroy him. But what does that mean for us today? If loving like Jesus led to His suffering, what should we expect when we choose to walk in His footsteps? Matthew 26:1-5 | Chris Shandrow

    Three Views of Hell

    Hell is one of the most debated topics in spiritual conversations. Is it an eternal lake of fire? A place of endless torment? Or something else entirely? The concept of hell has led many to question, fear, or even reject God. Join us as we explore three key perspectives on hell that can deepen our understanding of God’s justice, love, and what eternity might hold. Discover how these views can reshape your faith and provide new insights into life after death. Matthew 25:46 | Chris Shandrow

    The Sheep and the Goats

    In the story of the sheep and the goats, Jesus addresses a challenging topic: the judgment of God. Many of us feel uneasy when we think about God deciding who is worthy of life or death, or who deserves reward or punishment—it feels wrong, like a guitar that's out of tune. In response to this discomfort, we often react in two ways. Some reject the idea entirely: "If God is like this, I want no part of Him." Others lean fully into it, accepting the dissonance and convincing themselves that maybe the guitar is supposed to sound that way. Matthew 25:31-46 | Chris Shandrow

    Babies and Bags of Gold

    Jesus frequently spoke about the Kingdom of God—how it operates and where we fit in. While many focus on rewards and rules, God's kingdom is more than that. It's something he entrusts to us. But what are the responsibilities of being part of this kingdom, and how can we fulfill them? Matthew 25:14-30 | Chris Shandrow

    The Long Wait for Jesus

    For nearly two thousand years, the church has eagerly awaited Jesus' return. What was once a matter of urgent importance for first-century Christians has become a low priority for many today. How did something so vital then become almost irrelevant now? Explore what the early church can teach us about the significance of Jesus' return and its impact on our lives today. Matthew 24:45-51 | Chris Shandrow

    What About the Rapture?

    When we think about the end times, one question often comes up: What about the rapture? Jesus warned that it will come like a thief in the night, with one person taken and another left behind. His disciples asked when this would happen, and many people today wonder the same thing. But is Jesus really talking about the rapture in Matthew 24? If not, what does this mean for our lives today? Matthew 24:36-44 | Chris Shandrow

    Jesus Gets Apocalyptic

    There are sections in the gospels where Jesus gets apocalyptic. When He talks about the sun going dark, the heavens shaking, and a trumpet sounding, it sounds like the end times, or a scene straight out of a "Left Behind" novel. But is there something deeper behind His apocalyptic language? Gain a fresh perspective on these mysterious teachings and discover a new way to understand the Bible when it seems confusing, unclear, and downright apocalyptic. Matthew 24:29-36 | Chris Shandrow

    Warning Signs

    We all appreciate a heads-up when something tough is coming our way—like when a nurse warns us of a slight pinch before a shot, or a chiropractor tells us to breathe deeply before aligning our neck. Sometimes, that warning can make all the difference. In Matthew 24, Jesus’ disciples ask Him for a heads-up about what they call the "end of the age." When will it happen? What will it look like? What can we expect? These are the same questions Christians ask today about the end times. Join us as we explore Jesus' answers and what we can expect in these uncertain times. Matthew 24:15-28 | Chris Shandrow
