Luke
Hometown Rejection
January 16, 2022
In Luke’s first detailed account of Jesus’ public ministry, Jesus returns to his hometown synagogue as the guest preacher. And it goes really well … until it doesn’t.

Our Comfort and Redemption

Don’t Grow Weary in Doing Good
November 21, 2021

Comfort in Confusion
November 14, 2021
The return of Christ has always been a topic of interest and confusion in the church. On one hand, it stirs up feelings of anxiety and fear. On the other hand, disengagement from earthly responsibilities. The clarity, confidence, and comfort we need comes from the truth, power, and love of God.
