Our series continues as Pastor Shane examines passages from Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation (among others) that detail the signs of the antichrist's rise to power in the end times.  He challenges us to consider how we might build up the faith of those we love to ensure they survive the coming apostasy that marks the rise of the antichrist. 

Pastor Shane teaches the first of two messages about the antichrist, the person who will embody the most intentional and direct opposition to the people of God in the end times.

Our new series kicks off with a foretelling of the end times from the One who will return in glory, Jesus Christ. Using Mark 13 and a variety of parallel accounts (namely Matthew 24 and Revelation 6), Pastor Shane provides a scholarly interpretation of the sequence of events to come and challenges us to prepare for what Jesus told us will happen.

Today's sermon examines the story of Lazarus the beggar at the gate of the rich man (Luke 16:19-31) in the context of opportunities we have to serve people in need at our various campuses and potential campus locations. In particular, we learn about the Hope Homes galas that are happening around the country and how we can help those who have been laid at our gates.

For those of us who want God's direction in our lives, Pastor Amy Guthrie's Life Verse message teaches three conditional commands that lead to the promise in Proverbs 3:4-5. She also uses personal examples from her own journey to demonstrate each point and shares the downside of what happens when we miss out on God's guidance.

Today's message continues our look at verses we live by, this time with Pastor Moses George. He shares his story of an encounter with God in his teen years and how his anchor verse, Exodus 33:11, has informed his walk with God and his heart's desire for each of us.

In this special Father's Day 2024 message, Pastor Shane addresses the desire for greatness that either motivates or plagues men (and many women) throughout their lives, leading to depression and midlife crises. At the heart of the matter is a distortion of God's purpose for our lives, particularly the definition of greatness. Learn the true definition of greatness and how you can find instant purpose and meaning no matter where you are in life.

When we've been wronged, it's easy to seek justice on our own, but Pastor Shane teaches that when we do that, we limit our ability to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Join us as we unpack what's really going on inside of each of us when we've been offended, and discover how seeking revenge is really a lack of faith in God's love for us.

In Mark 12:30, Jesus answers the question posed to him about which commandment is the greatest. He recalls Deuteronomy 6:5, that we should love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength. But Pastor Shane warns of barriers to loving with all, using instructions for battle from Deuteronomy to highlight ways we might be halfhearted instead of wholehearted.

What role does work have in the Kingdom of God? How are we to understand grace, especially in contrast to striving? And what does this have to do with love God with our all? Pastor Shane continues The Greatest Commandment series by drawing largely on the writings of Paul to show how a proper understanding of grace can change our approach to faith and works.

In this message, we're diving into why having the Holy Spirit in our lives is crucial for truly loving the Lord with all our soul. Explore how the power and presence of God are directly connected to His purpose for us. Plus, Shane discusses the importance of not brushing off God's word, as it's essentially rejecting God Himself. Join us as we unpack what it means to embrace the Holy Spirit and pursue all aspects of God in our lives.

Today's Mother's Day message is a tribute to mothers everywhere as Pastor Wendy uses Psalm 23 to recenter busy moms (and dads... and people in general!) to rely more on our Good Shepherd than on our own strength. This is a message of encouragement and a call to action to people of all ages.

Jesus reminded us that there are four ways that we're commanded to love God (Mark 12:30). In today's message, Pastor Shane draws attention our soul, the often misunderstood and therefore often neglected part of who we are, helping us understand how the soul functions in relationship to the other parts of us (heart, mind, strength) and how we can strengthen our souls to love God fully.

Jesus commanded us to first love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength, but how can we do that practically? Pastor Moses shares one of the key practices to maintaining complete dependence on God by examining the lives of Samson and David and helping us utilize the secret place of prayer to bring the Kingdom to earth... beginning in our hearts.

Pastor Shane continues our examination of Caleb's lifelong, wholehearted devotion to God by sharing the roles that humility and purpose play in preserving our love.
