   Silence: The Book of Habakkuk

   This four-week series will dive into the difficult topic of how we can trust God when he seems silent and distant. Habakkuk, one of the Minor Prophets, faced many of the same questions and objections that we still face today: Where is God in the midst of injustice? Why doesn’t God do something about wickedness and suffering? How can I still trust God when what I believe in my heart doesn’t match what I see with my eyes?

   Start At The End

   New Year’s is an opportunity for people to take stock of their life, think about the future, and make some changes. But as this single message reminds us, the number-one thing we need to remember as we enter a new year is to focus on God and his power, beauty, and glory.

   Problematic Passages: Tackling The Bible Head On

   This six-week series looks at some of the passages in the Bible that don’t sit well with most modern readers. Passages like the imprecatory Psalms, the story of Judah and Tamar, Jesus dismissing the gentile woman at the dinner table, and Jesus’s command to hate our families. By exploring several parts of Scripture that challenge our understanding of the Bible and of God, we can strengthen our faith and find unexpected blessings in his Word.

This series unpacks the passage and reminds us that God through Jesus has brought comfort in our pain and joy through salvation; because of this, we can prepare our lives for redemption and proclaim Jesus to the world.
