Jesus got angry. Really angry. But not at the same things that trigger us. Jesus, like God the Father, is slow to anger. But his anger is principled, thoughtful, and focused on the needs of others instead of himself. His example of righteous anger and immense patience, even in the midst of suffering, is an important reminder that we are called to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. We invite you to watch tonight's Bible Study to hear more about this.

The word "Grace" is noticeably absent from the Old Testament, but the idea is there nonetheless. In the Old Testament, grace was understood as "finding favor in the eyes" of a king. God describes himself as a gracious God, and that means we have found favor in his eyes. We are invited into his presence with open arms and given the chance to tell him exactly what we need. In this message, Bryan expands on these ideas and shares the spiritual significance of God's grace.

The Gospel of John declares that Jesus is the Word of God who became flesh. That means that we can get to know the heart of God by getting to know Jesus. This Wednesday night class is a companion class to our Sunday morning series "Discover the Heart of God." Each week, we'll study how Jesus lives out one of the five essential character traits of God, based on Exodus 34:6-7. This week we begin by studying Jesus' example of compassion.

We're starting a new series that focuses on the heart of God. While God was delivering the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, the Israelites were busy building a golden calf (idol) below. After this serious sin, everyone was anxious to find out what God would do.Would God punish them, reject them, and abandon them forever? Or would he show grace and offer a second chance? It's against this backdrop that we first encounter one of the recurring descriptions of God in the Old...

Israel was called back out of exile to rebuilt the Temple in Jerusalem. The good news is, when they arrived, they were always working hard. The bad news is, they weren't always working on the right things. Instead of building the house of the Lord, they went home to build their own homes instead. God spoke through the prophet Haggai about their need to seek first the Kingdom of God--and that's a powerful and relevant message for us today.

In Ezra 4, the people of God were at a complete standstill in their mission. By Ezra 5, they were making rapid progress. What happened in the middle to inspire them to get back to work? the Bible teaches us that God sent prophets like Haggai to deliver the Word of the Lord which led to a dramatic transformation. Today, God's Word still has the power to transform our lives--if we're willing to let it.

Week 4 of our study on the book of Colossians covers 2:6-23. It is in this passage that we find our theme word, "Rooted." Paul instructs us to be rooted in Christ as we grow up to achieve spiritual maturity--his overall goal for writing this letter. Because Jesus is supreme over all and sufficient for all we need, we don't need to listen to any teachings about Christ that contradict the Gospel or imply there's something in addition to Christ that a Christian needs to be saved....

Week 3 of our study on the book of Colossians covers 1:24-2:5. Paul, writing to the church in Colossae from prison, reminds the church of the suffering he's experienced for the Gospel and how devoted he has been to preaching the Gospel, which is now being proclaimed throughout the entire world. This passage is especially helpful because Paul articulates his overarching goal for writing this letter: That we would all grow up to achieve spiritual maturity (Colossians 1:28). Later in the passage,...

The book of Ezra is an inspiring story about the people of God rebuilding the Temple, and rebuilding their lives, after a significant tragedy. After decades in exile under a harsh, foreign king, Israel had begun to lose hope. God sent a prophet named Jeremiah to confront Israel with the seriousness of their sin, but to also show them that hope was on the horizon. As the book of Ezra begins, the Bible tells us that that important promise of restoration was finally coming true.Today, we can find...

In John 10, Jesus declares that he is the Good Shepherd. As the sheep of the flock, we are expected to listen to the voice of our shepherd and follow his direction. When we are focused on Jesus, unity in the church is the natural result. Because of that, we should value commitment over conformity.
