"Defending the Faith, A Study of Jude"
with Pastor Robert
Jude’s brief letter addressed a crisis facing the early church—false teachers had infiltrated the Christian community. In short, Jude wrote his letter to expose the false teachers and to challenge believers to defend the faith. Jude describes false teachers in vivid detail, targeting their way of life, and he warns believers to stay away from them. Jude closes his letter with some practical application by teaching Christians how we can defend the faith, ultimately reminding us that He “is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, without blemish and with great joy” (1:24).

"Looking for the Lord Jesus’ Glorious Return and Beyond"
with Boyd White
Many Bible experts refer to this time in history as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ when He comes to rule and reign over the entire earth. The New Testament places great importance concerning the Lord’s return as one verse out of every 25 mentions some aspect of His return. Several writers of the New Testament express the thought that we as believers should be eagerly & expectantly awaiting His return (Titus 2:13). The Bible also warns us in passages like Luke 12, verse 43, “It will be good” for us as servants of the Master (Lord) to be doing what He commanded us to do when He returns, so He might call us “good and faithful servants” (Matthew 25:21). “Are you ready?” Let’s find out.

"The Church During Search"
with Andrew Sowers
Seasons of Transition are difficult. There are things that will frustrate but also encourage us. But to make the most of this time we need to stay committed to Christ and to each other. The Church During Search: Honoring Christ While You Wait for your next Pastor takes us through six specific commitments that we can make to ensure this is a positive season in the life of our Church: Be Prepared, Be Informed, Be Humble, Be Prayerful, Be Patient, and Be Productive. The Church During Search helps us discover the indispensable role that we play during this time of transition and embrace the attitudes and behaviors that will honor the Lord as we wait.
