Randall Coffin | Freedom in Christ doesn't lead to selfish living, but to gospel-centered serving. When our hearts beat for the lost, we'll gladly adapt our approach to our audience to win some for Jesus.

Tim DeFor | Learning about God can radically change your worldview, bringing freedom from superstitions and religious legalism. But what if living out your freedom harms others' relationship with God? How can followers of Christ live out the freedom in a way that reflects the heart of Christ?

Tim DeFor | Jesus can dramatically change your life, but do you change your situation to fully honor God? Paul answers questions from a church wrestling with marriage, singleness, and calling—and you will be surprised by how his response still applies to your life today.

Tim DeFor | Is your freedom really freeing you? Our culture says, “Do what you want—my body, my choice, my business.” But Paul flips that idea upside down, asking whether what we call freedom is actually leading us toward slavery or freedom. This message will push you to rethink what it means to be truly free. Freedom in Christ cannot be bought, but experiencing it will cost you.

Tim DeFor | We love courtroom drama. Who wins or loses? Who is guilty or innocent? Will there be justice? But what do Christians do when conflict happens within the church? This message will challenge you to look deeper at what’s really at stake when conflict arises and invite you to discover a better way.

Randall Coffin | No one likes walking through spider webs—but the real problem isn't the web, it's the spider. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul confronts a church trying to look graceful while ignoring the sin spinning destruction in their midst. True holiness means going beyond surface cleanups and dealing directly with sin before it spreads.

Tim DeFor | Followers of Christ want to mature, but what does a mature Christian look like? What would maturity look like in your everyday walk with Christ? Paul challenges some common misunderstandings of what victory in Jesus looks like, and it will challenge you too.

Tim DeFor | What do you do when someone points out that you have a blindspot? Many of us will ignore it, become defensive, listen to voices that reinforce our views, and rely on our preferred "experts." But none of this is helpful, especially when it comes to spiritual maturity. So when confronted with our own immaturity, what can we do to grow?

Tony Burke | Sometimes life feels like you’re walking a trail you don’t recognize. You’re not sure how you ended up here or which way to turn next. You think, ‘If only I had a map, I could find my way out.’ But the good news is this: the one who designed the trail knows exactly where you are, and He has already sent a guide to lead you safely home.

Randall Coffin | The cross appears foolish to those who don’t believe. Yet it is in the “foolishness” that the true power of God is revealed.
info_outlineTony Burke | God has entrusted us with resources and finances, and wise stewardship means protecting and managing them for the good of His kingdom and His people. So if that’s true, why do some people overflow with joy when they give with bold, even lavish, generosity?
