Jesse Rice on 2012-10-14 : The J Word / Transformation Transformation is what happens when people encounter Jesus. What might that look like for you?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-10-07 : The J Word / Disciples Jesus never asked anyone to be a Christian. He invited people to be disciples. And there's a huge difference.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-09-30 : The J Word / Life If you had to describe why Jesus came into the world in only one word, what would it be? The answer might surprise you.

John Ortberg on 2012-09-23 : Up-In-Out / Out Through the familiar story of "The Good Samaritan," Jesus encouraged a theologian to expand his understanding of neighborly behavior. What can we learn from this story today to help us engage with the hurting world around us?

Nancy Ortberg on 2012-09-18 : Up-In-Out / In Part of living life with God is living life in community. However, community can be messy when our hidden brokenness is exposed as we get closer to others. How can we help each other to build upon our strengths and overcome some of our weaknesses?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-09-09 : Up-In-Out / Up God has invited all of us to do life with him. But trusting God isn't possible unless we see him for who he really is. Thankfully, God has given us a very clear picture.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-08-05 : How-To's / How To Overcome Fear Everyone struggles with fear in some area of life � even Moses. However, God consistently tells people throughout the Bible to "fear not" because He is with us and will give us what we need to do what he has asked.

Zack Aumiller on 2012-07-29 : How-To's / How To Share Your Faith Talking about your faith is not about trying to start a debate or win an argument. It's about telling the story of what God has done in your life.

Charley Scandlyn on 2012-07-22 : How-To's / How To Not End Up Where You Don�t Want To Be Your choices today will impact your life tomorrow. And, though no one wants to end up in the "roadside ditches" of faith, a walk with God doesn�t mean there are no challenges along the way. So what tools can we use to navigate the unique journey that each of us is on and make decisions that will lead us to continue becoming the people God wants us to be?

Andy Lewis on 2012-07-15 : How-To's / How To Enjoy A Life Jesus once rebuked a group of devout believers because, even though they worked hard to do the right things, they refused to receive life from him. So how can we not make the same mistake?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-07-08 : How-To's / How To Deal With Difficult People There's an old saying that goes, "Life would be easy if it weren't for other people." The truth is, other people can be irritable, demanding, self-absorbed, and even hurtful. Of course, so can you. So what does the BIble say about how to love and bless even the most difficult people in our lives?

John Ortberg on 2012-07-01 : How-To's / How To Care For Your Soul You don't just have a soul, you are a soul. It is the deepest and most important part of who you are. So how do you care for your soul?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-06-17 : Toxic / Foolishness Jesus once said that is possible to build a life that is resilient, secure, and significant. He also said it is possible to build a life that is unstable, insecure, and insignificant. What distinguishes the two might surprise you.

Kevin Kim on 2012-06-10 : Toxic / Greed When we look to money for our security, we always need more. When we look to God for our security, we always have enough.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-06-03 : Toxic / Slander Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Yeah, right.
