Katie Kafka, one of our teachers, shared this meaningful message with us at our Women's Christmas event on December 6th. We hope it sparks joy for you as it did for all of us in the room. Oftentimes, we celebrate Christmas with moments of merriment: with holly-jolly and oh-what-fun. I can hear the Charlie Brown …
Spring 2024 – We’ve been waiting for you!

Prepare Him Room
In our Bible studies this Fall we looked at the bigger story that all of scripture is telling. It’s an epic tale of God’s plan to redeem his people who have been held captive by sin. God prepared a place and a time for His own Son to enter the story, to be our Redeemer. …
What is God’s Kingdom?
Throughout our study this session - From Beginning to Forever: A Study of the Grand Narrative of Scripture - we have been completing a chart on the Status of the Kingdom. The definition of God’s Kingdom is God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule and blessing. We saw that in the beginning God created …

Consider the Faithful
Consider Rahab. Tacked onto the story of Moses who walked with God, an immoral infidel appears as one of only 2 women in this list of faithful Hebrews. What does she have to teach us about the better way of redemption? You can find her story in Joshua 2, but here are some highlights: Rahab …
Steady On
In these times we're experiencing, I'm grateful for the extra words of understanding we get in the Amplified version of 1 Corinthians 13:7: "LOVE . . . hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times]." A love like that goes far beyond the way we often consider our hope. How often do we hope for …
Kernels
In John 12, Jesus creates a word picture to display the work of death to sin in the life of a believer. A solitary, dry kernel lies dormant until it's planted into the soil where it can germinate and grow. It will need warmth, nourishment and water to begin to take root and sprout. Soon, …
