What does God do when we betray Him again and again? In Hosea 3, we explore how Hosea’s pursuit of Gomer points us to Jesus — the One who ransomed us with His own blood and invites every prodigal heart to come home. It is a breath-taking picture of a God who pursues, redeems, and restores His people at great cost.
God gave the prophet Hosea a heartbreaking assignment: to love someone who will betray him as a living picture of Israel’s spiritual adultery and God’s wounded heart. This week, we’ll explore how idolatry still captures our hearts today—and how, despite our betrayal and failure, God’s covenant love continues to pursue, forgive, and restore His people through Jesus Christ.
In this message, we explore the courage of the Old Testament prophets — men and women who risked everything to speak truth to kings, confront injustice, and call God’s people back to faithfulness. As we follow their example, we’ll discover what it means for the church today to be a prophetic community that prays boldly, acts justly, and speaks up for the vulnerable.
In this opening message of “The Prophets,” we explore the strange, beautiful, and often misunderstood role of prophecy throughout Scripture — from the covenant watchdogs of the Old Testament to the Spirit-empowered Church today — prophesy is a gift that God uses to encourage His people and draw us back into alignment with Him.
None of us set out to mess up, but few people actually finish as well as they started in their faith. What causes us to drift away from God in this way? Through the life of Solomon, we see how areas of compromise in our spiritual walk can grow until we look just like the world around us.
When God gives us a promise, He also invites us into a process that makes us ready for it. But we can all be tempted to try to shortcut this process at times. The lives of King Saul and King David give us two contrasting realities of what happens when we try to take a shortcut versus being willing to embrace the process.
As we begin our journey through the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Israel, we start in 1 Samuel 8, a passage that confronts us with a searching question: where do we place our trust? Where we place our trust reveals who our true king is—and what we rely on when everything else is shaken.
Join us as we unpack the beautiful story of the Divine Romance where Jesus is the groom, we the Church are His bride and Jesus continues to pursue us.
Join us as we tell the story of Easter from creation to the resurrection through a weaving together of scripture readings, music, and imagery.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many ancient biblical laws in the first books of the Bible? What are modern readers supposed to do with them, and why are some of them so odd? In this message, we explore why the laws were given to ancient Israel and how they fit into the overall storyline of the Bible.
Many readers struggle with the violence in the Old Testament—especially the conquest narratives in Joshua and Judges. Is God commanding holy war and the killing of non-combatants, and how can that be reconciled with Jesus’ call to love our enemies and turn the other cheek? These difficult passages force us to wrestle with who God is, whether Scripture can be trusted, and what the cross truly reveals about both.
The Story of Scripture concludes in a surprising way — not with the destruction of creation but with its complete renewal. By revealing the end of the story, it calls us to live with deep, forward-looking hope—anchoring our present lives in the promise that everything broken will one day be made new.
As we enter Act 5 of the Story of Scripture, we see that Jesus entrusts the mission of advancing His Kingdom to the church. For many, this can feel overwhelming, as if the responsibility rests entirely on our shoulders. But God is the one at work, and our role is simply to partner with Him through the Holy Spirit.
In Mark 1, we are introduced to Jesus, who breaks into history with authority, compassion, and power to defeat the works of the enemy. We must decide if Jesus really is the Messiah, and whether or not we will respond to His call to “repent and believe the good news.”
As we trace the story of Israel, we see a pattern of human failure met by divine faithfulness, reminding us that our relationship with God has never depended on our perfection but on His faithfulness to fulfil His covenant promise.
What’s wrong with the world—and with us? In this message on The Fall (Genesis 3), we uncover sin’s origin, its devastating consequences, and the surprising grace of a God who seeks, clothes, and promises redemption even in humanity’s darkest moment.
Every great story has a beginning — and so does ours. The opening chapters of Genesis reveals who God is, who we are, and why our lives matter. If you expect the Bible to read like a self-help book, you may be missing its true purpose. Instead, the Bible’s many voices form one story that points us to Jesus and invites us into life with God.
What is the Bible really for? Is it just to answer our questions, or is it something far deeper? Discover how Scripture reveals who God is, shapes us into the image of Jesus, and invites us into His story of redemption.

Do you love Jesus but feel unsure what to do with the Bible? What is it about this ancient collection of writings that gives it such authority in the Christian faith? Ultimately, we read and trust the Bible not because it’s easy or unproblematic, but because we are followers of Jesus—and if Jesus trusted it then so can we.
