This series will look at some of the underlying challenges Jesus faced within his culture. Along the way, we will see the importance of what he accomplished at the cross and how it still applies to us today.

   In My Eyes: The Book of Judges

   This four-week series examines the downward spiral of God’s people in the book of Judges. The book centers around people having a relativism that caused them to do whatever they wanted to do.

   Merciful and Mighty

   God is both merciful and just. The justice of God demands that sin be dealt with in our lives, but mercy calls for God to be compassionate in his judgments. The book of Isaiah called Israel to repentance in many ways and yet also set the stage for both her redemption and the ultimate redemption of the world. This six-week series unpacks a series of key passages that point to the demand for God’s justice and the exercise of mercy on those who don’t deserve it.
