The Resurrection is essential to Christian faith, hope, and love. So why is it that it so very often fades into the background? Without a resurrection, there is no hope. But in Christ even death is gain. The resurrection is the foundation for our faith and the future victory of Christ over death. This week, as we finish looking at 1 Corinthians chapter 15, remind yourself of the hope of the gospel glimpsed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The book off Malachi confronts the Israelites returned from exile. Malachi searches the hearts of Israel's hope, worship, and relationships with the question, "where is the fer of the LORD among His people?" In this two part series we hear the same question directed at us in the 21st century. Have we decentered God? Have we dethroned Him? Do we hold out hope for Him to work for justice beyond what we can see? Listen to the message of Malachi as God speaks through His word to call us again to "genuine worship and expectant faith."*

* The title for this series is drawn from E. Ray Clendenen's introduction to Malachi in Haggai, Malachi New American Commentary Series (Nashville: B&H, 2004) pg. 204.

In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul writes from prison to remind the church of the massive scope of God’s blessing. Paul aims to encourage and refresh the Christians in the church of Ephesus. Join us in looking at the opening of His letter to the church at Ephesus, and see how richly God has poured out every spiritual blessing in Christ to the praise of His glory.

The Sermon on the Mount is the greatest collection of Jesus’ teaching that we have recorded for us in God’s Word. In many ways, this Sermon is an expansion of how the Gospel writers summarize Jesus’ teaching: “Repent! For the Kingdom of God is at hand.” One of the great themes running through the Sermon on the Mount is the “God-Centered Life.” Jesus doesn’t use these exact words, but the picture He paints of the righteousness, the sincerity, and the focus of a follower of God clearly presents a life that is careful to remain centered around God and His Word. Listen this week as we explore just a bit of what Jesus teaches about living a life centered on God.

There are countless things in our lives that can hurt us if we do not handle them carefully. We need instruction from a trusted source of wisdom to navigate the pitfalls that life presents us. God has given us instruction in His word to help us live a full and blessed life. Join us this week as we look at Proverbs 3:1-12 at some of the instruction which God has given and how it can produce a positive effect in our lives.
