In contrast to the postmodern beliefs of our age, we look at a biblical perspective of homosexual relationships and gender identity to find that true fulfillment is found in God's design, true purpose is found in holiness, our true identity is found in Jesus, and the sexual ethos of our day has become an open door to the gospel.

In our quest to avoid sexual brokenness and pursue purity within God's perfect design, we ask six questions to help us unmask the deception and consequences of sexual sin and help us build out a biblical strategy to fight sexual sin. Scripture: Proverbs 5

Is the single person lacking? Is marriage better? Come and learn God's perspective on singleness. There is honor, privileges, and challenges in the godly single life.

God created us to be in relationship with others and while that desire is a good thing, we need to first find our identity in Christ, not those relationships. Armed with that understanding, we look at the fact that God created sex as a good thing within the institution of marriage, which is a covenant relationship for the glory of God.

The Gospel of John ends with a focus on restoration and reconciliation. Peter pursues reconciliation and Jesus restores Peter, showing that God takes people who are a mess and forgives them and changes them. But once we have been restored, can we commit to following Jesus with a renewed faithfulness?

Set against a backdrop of fear and death, the resurrection of Jesus changes everything. For Mary, for His disciples, and for Thomas, the resurrection of Jesus changes their presuppositions and gives them hope. As we are presented with the resurrection of Jesus, does it change everything for us?

The hour has come. The most significant moment in human history has happened. What does it mean? Join us and explore the rich imagery of the cross.

John reminds us of the deity of Jesus as Jesus marches to Calvary. As the hour of God's betrayal has arrived, as Peter denies Jesus, and as sinful men put God on trial, we must answer Pilate's question for ourselves: What is truth?

Jesus allows us to sit in on His powerful prayer to God the Father before He departs for the cross. Jesus offers encouragement to us as He prays for Himself and His own glorification, for His disciples and their protection and sanctification, and for future believers that we would be unified and experience communion with Him one day.

Jesus gives his parting words to his disciples in the Upper Room, focusing on their upcoming deaths and his upcoming departure. Despite the imminent suffering of both Christ and his disciples, Jesus reminds all of us that we can have peace in suffering because of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When we take time to consider the big questions, we begin to wonder: What is true? How do I make it to heaven? What will give me joy in life? Jesus puts himself forward as the answer to all these questions. He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Jesus is the true vine and God is the pruner. God prunes us in order that we might bear fruit to his glory and our good.

In the midst of hurt and betrayal, we move towards self and hatred. Jesus, when faced with betrayal, moves towards service, blessing, and love. We are called to walk in his footsteps!

As Jesus' final hour approaches, we see the foreshadowing of Jesus as the Passover lamb and his impending death through Judas and the plotting of the chief priests. As the Jews welcome Him as Messiah during the Triumphal Entry, Jesus reminds us of the purpose of the coming hour.

We examine Jesus' claim to be the Resurrection and the Life and show how the story of Lazarus foreshadows the events of Calvary. Jesus' loves Lazarus deeply and laments over the loss of Lazarus, reminding us that it's okay to wrestle with grief and suffering. But Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead to demonstrate His final power over death, bring Himself glory, and give us hope.

Jesus is one with the Father and functions as both the door of the sheepfold, the only passageway to salvation, and the Good Shepherd to His sheep. Jesus comes as the Good Shepherd and leads His flock, knows them, protects them, and lays down His life for them. Because of His oneness with God, He is both our access point and our salvation, guiding us into the pastures of eternal life.

Tonight we wanted to give everyone a chance to understand who we are as a leadership team and where this ministry is going as we launch forward. Adam spends 15 minutes discussing the pillars of our ministry, our heart for the people of the ministry, and his passion for the ministry. Then there's a fun get-to-know-you Q&A to meet the leadership team!

We say we know God and that we can see clearly. However, there is a great danger we can actually blind. Examine spiritual blindness and how Jesus brings sight to the blind.

In an extended conversation between Jesus and the Jews, Jesus shines as the Light of the World, revealing the darkness of our sin problem and the need to embrace Him as the light of life. Through a number of appeals and rebuttals, Jesus reveals that He is the truth that sets us free, that He is the great "I AM", and that His promises can be trusted.

We look at Jesus' public power displayed through miracles, including feeding the 5000 and walking on water. Then Jesus gives a persuasive presentation of his deity, claiming to be the bread of life. But as the crowds reject him and just the disciples remain, Jesus asks the question of them and us: "Do you want to go away as well?"
