Acts 2:36b-41 Luke records in the book of the Acts of the Apostles the story of the first ever Revival in the New Testament Church. The revival birthed the Church 2000 years ago and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. Since then God has sent Revival and Spiritual Awakening to revive His people about every 40-60 years. Could it be that God is reviving His Church...

The Chosen Restorer

Mar 5, 2023

John 5:1-13 Jesus responds to a need of a person with a weakness, but it is not at the person’s request. Out of the compassion of His heart, Jesus gives life to one who is truly hopeless. Sin has so ruined the human heart that we’ve become grumbling, ungrateful creatures. Jesus came to restore the human heart, to give us a new nature and restore us to Father God.

Matthew 5:17-20 Jesus came to fulfill the commands of God. He shows us the true intent and reveals the proper meaning of God’s Word.

How to Read the Bible (Part 2)

Feb 20, 2023

Luke 1:1-4; 24:25-32 There is nothing more foundation in how you live as a Christian than your view of the Bible. Many say that the Bible, while good, is mostly fables and accepted lies. But in truth, the Bible is totally reliable, an authority in all that it teaches. The truth found in the Bible points to a certain Man who wants to impact all of our hearts.

The Chosen Heals

Feb 13, 2023

John 4:43-54 Jesus brought in the Kingdom of God to bring restoration, healing, and grace to a broken world.

The Chosen at the Wedding Feast

Feb 5, 2023

John 2:1-11 Because Jesus loves us so much, He cares about our big needs and everyday needs, especially our relationships with each other.

Living the Bible

Jan 30, 2023

2 Peter 1:12-20 The Bible is truthful and reliable. We can believe this but not live it out—the Bible should guide the way we think, act, and live.

How to Read the Bible {Part 1}

Jan 23, 2023

2 Timothy 3:16-17 The Bible is not just a collection of stories but God’s great big story of His love for the world and for us.

In our group time we’ll hear how God’s Old Testament is God’s story of blessing the people of the world through one person’s family....

Home for Christmas

Jan 2, 2023

John 1:1-14 The human heart longs for home, especially at Christmas. Home is not just a sentiment or locale, but where we belong…deeply. Jesus came, the Word made flesh, to bring us to His home—His presence. He came to make a temporary home with us, pitching His tent on earth, that He might lead us to our real and eternal home—to be with Father God, for He calls us His children. The home of our...
