Confession: Trusting God in Trials Small & Large | Romans 8:28-32

Scott showed us some of the practical ways that Romans 8 intersects with and applies to the believer's life.

The Feeding of the Five Thousand | John 6:1-15

Scott showed us that we may be poor (like the young boy with the barley loaves and fish), yet if we take our little and put it into the hands of Jesus we will find our little more than sufficient.

Confession of Sin: Faith Looks To What is Unseen | 2 Corinthians 5

Jerry reminded us that faith does not look at the seen but the unseen.

The Old Testament is about . . . Jesus | John 5:39-40

Jesus said that if we read the Old Testament as an end in itself rather than a means of seeing Jesus, we miss the point with catastrophic results.

Four Witnesses and Unbelief | John 5:30-47

Jesus takes the Pharisees to court and ushers in four witnesses that testify to Himself. Yet, despite the overwhelming evidence, the religious leaders refuse to believe. Why?

Like Father, Like Son | John 5:16-29

This passage is one of the most extensive treatments of the topic of the relationship between God the Father and God the Son in the Bible.

Confession: Abiding in the Vine | John 15

Jerry led us in contemplating the fact that God prunes us as an act of disciplinary love so that we may bear more fruit.

Do You Want to Be Healed? | John 5:1-16

We start by dealing with two apparent problems in this passage: 1) Has the Pool of Bethesda ever been found? 2) Why is verse 4 missing in most English Bibles? Then we look at the story of the healing of the man who has been paralyzed for 38 years.

Confession: Grace for Both Good & Bad Days | Galatians 2:15-3:3

Scott shows us how we can subtly begin to base our boldness to come before God (or lack thereof) on the quality of our day rather than on the worth of Jesus.

Romans | Chapter 8 (The Mountain Peak of God's Promises!)

Jerry, Fred, Chad, Scott, Greg, Tyler, and others helped lead us through the Mount Everest of Scripture: Romans 8!

The Healing of the Royal Official's Son | John 4:43-54

This story may not be as simple as it first seems. When we follow the logic of the passage, we find that there are several puzzling aspects of this account that only make sense when we think about the story more carefully.

Confession: The Whole Trinity is For Us | Romans 8

Jerry shows us the beauty of the promsies of Romans 8. They really do seem too good to be true - yet they are!

Romans | Chapter 7 (God's Law & Our Sin)

Paul spends much of Romans 7 explaining the role of the law in our coming to Christ. He also spends the end of the chapter talking about the Christian's struggle with indwelling sin which remains throughout our life in this present age.

Jesus is Indeed the Savior of the World | John 4:27-45

Scott McAndrew powerfully walked us through this passage in John. The fields are white for harvest!

Romans | Chapter 6

Jerry, Fred, and Josh Cronic led us through Romans 6 on the topic of sanctification (or how we slowly become more like Jesus in this life after we are born again).
