Who are you? How do you know? What does that mean for your life? These questions dominate our modern lives, and each of us seeking to answer these questions on our own is exhausting and isolating.
Join us as we see that as believers, our truest identity is our new identity that we’ve received from Christ, and that identity builds others up in love. After we see why that is true, we will see three things about the true you, that it builds with words, is good at anger, and radically forgives.

Romans 6:12-14 // Bill Gorman
One of the greatest battles of history is not “out there,” but rather, is “in here.” Herein lies a crucial insight as to why following Jesus can be so hard. There is a battle being waged not just with our bodies but in our bodies.
Join us as we continue to see in the book of Romans what Jesus has rescued you and me for, and how we can actually live this out.

Romans 6:1-11 // Bill Gorman
When we think of rescue, it’s natural to ask: “Rescue from what?” But with Jesus, rescue is more! When God sought to rescue creation from brokenness, injustice, sin and death, he always planned to save us “for” a more beautiful, good, and true way of being.
Jesus didn’t just save us from sin but for life—with him—now and forever. But how is life with God different from life without God? And why would anyone actually want that kind of life? Join us as we continue walking through the Letter of Romans to explore what God has in store for your life and mine today.

Matthew 25:31-46 // Bill Gorman
Can we really believe in hell? In our cultural moment idea of hell is either something that humorous or abhorrent. But what do we do with Jesus teachings about hell? While it may not seem very Jesusy, Jesus spoke and taught more about hell than anyone else in the Bible. How do we make sense of his teachings? This is what we look at in this message.

Psalm 13:1-6; Mark 15:33-39 // Taylor Fair
“I used to go to church and pray, and then my best friend got sick and died… How can I believe in God when that happened?” My friend told me this in 7th grade, and it would be the first but not last time I would hear what I would later learn that theologians and philosophers call “the problem of evil”. Why does an all good and all powerful God permit evil and suffering?
While God does not give us an answer to our “why” question, he does show us “how” to find meaning through suffering and experience that we are not alone. Join us as we learn how to lament our suffering with God through Psalm 13.

Matthew 22:15-22 & Titus 3:1-3 //Taylor Fair
How should Christians relate to politics and the government? No doubt you have some negative examples of what Christians should NOT do, but what is the Christian calling in our political environment?
Thankfully God’s word and Christians throughout history have wrestled through this very question. Join us as we continue to explore difficult questions aimed at the Christian faith and specifically seek clarity of faithful and fruitful presence in a politically heightened time.

If you are not a Christian and the Christian sex ethic has seemed despairing or if you’re a Christian who is wrestling with how to understand the Christian sex ethic, you’re not alone. What if this disorientation comes from something deeper? Join us as we walk through another frequent question raised in our world where the church can offer hope.

Genesis 1:26-28; Luke 10:38-42 // Bill Gorman

Luke 24:13-35; 2 Tim 3:16-17 // Bill Gorman
We have lots questions about the Bible. Questions like:
What I do with those parts the Bible where God seems vengeful? Can we trust that our English Bibles accurately communicate what the authors originally wrote? Or have things been changed by the church? What is lost in translation? What do we do with apparent contradictions or mistakes? Isn’t the Bible and oppressive book? One that supports slavery or the mistreatment of women? I want to read my Bible but I just don't get much out of it.
But there's another question. One that's even more important then all of those. And yet, it's one we don't often ask: What does Jesus think about the Bible? That’s what we look at in this message.

Matthew 16:17-19; Ephesians 3:20-21 // Bill Gorman
Disagreement, hurt, frustration, and abuse. There are a lot of reasons to dismiss the church, but there may very well be more reasons to give her a second look. What if there is a more enchanting story of the church and Jesus?
Join us as we begin a new series exploring some of the sincere questions and frustrations we have with the Christian faith, the “But what about…” questions of faith. Together we may find a both/and rather than either/or story of our deepest wrestlings.
