Ryan shares how Paul is not taking about doing away with who we are in faith but rather putting on who we truly are.

Ryan looks at Ephesians 4:1-16 and reminds us of the focus of the book of Ephesians is God uniting Heaven and Earth.  In this passage we see how we are called together as God children to be his body (the church), and that we are gifts to one another.

Ryan looks at Ephesians 33:14-22 and how Paul explains how our reality in Jesus is much greater and bigger that we can ever imagine. 

Alan shows us how we can live a week of thanksgiving through what we see Paul share in Ephesians 3:1-13.

As Ryan explores the text of Ephesians 2:11-22, he talks about how we are called to live as one. Not in that we all share the exact same principles, politics, etc, but rather that we are joined together in Jesus to together be a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.

Ryan looks at Ephesians 2 verses 1 to 14 and explores how we are called to live and bless. How good works are an outpouring of God's work in and through us not a checklist or obilagtion to complete.

Alan looks at Ephesians 1:15-23 and speaks about what God has done for us and what he calls us to be. 

Ryan starts off the book of Ephesians but exploring one long and amazing sentence that reminds us of who we are and what we are called to.

Ryan finishes off the book of 2 Peter with a reminder that God is bringing about new creation and not destroying the old one. In light of this we are called to be people who bring this new creation to life everyday, here and now.

We live in a world filled with voices that distract us and sometimes even lie to us. Alan talks about the need for us to remember the story we live in through Jesus and how that must shape and direct every moment of our lives. 

Ryan takes our first deeper dive into the book of 2 Peter and explains how we grow in our faith by practicing the things God wants to build in us. We don't do things to be good but to grow more deeply into his character and be people who reveal who he is.

We are kicking off a few weeks walk through the book of 2 Peter and Alan gives us some background and important things to keep in miind while we study this book.

Our final few verses in our walk through the Gospel of Matthew. Scott Pence closes this off with a reminfer of how God's story has been about blessing and how God's children are to bring blessing wherever they go. 

Jesus' death and burial. What does it show us and what hope is revealed in it?

A look at the death of Jesus and how it fits into the story of what God is doing in the world.

A look at Jesus' Crucifixion and understanding how we see Jesus reveals how we look at the world.

What do we learn from the story of Jesus being judged before Pilate? What does the condemnation of Jesus have for us to take a hold of?

Jesus was betrayed in a garden and some sought ot fight and other simply fled. What can we learn for theis story?

The saying "where there is a will, there is a way" couldn't be more true in the God's story of bringing blessing and restoration. 

As Jesus comes closer to the cross, we see how the events that happen take place to reveal God's plan.

Following Jesus requires us to commit to walking in His steps and to embrace pain for the sake of others. Is this something we can commit ourselves to?

What does a community of people who follow Jesus look like and what impact does it have on this world?

How does and expensive gift for Jesus show us more about our attitudes and beliefs of Jesus?

How does a story about separating sheep and goats reveal how we ought to live? How does how we treat people we view as "less than" reveal our heart for Jesus?

We all hate waiting but we must always be prepared in the midst of ever situation and circumstance we face. Our readiness will enable us to carry what God calls us to do.

Looking more deeply into Matthew 24 and how this often viewed as doomsday passage is actually more rooted in history.

Is Matthew 24 talking about the end times or an upcoming historical event. We examine the text to better understand what it is saying and how our interpretation affects how we live in this world.

What does God want from us and how do we often see religion play out? How do we keep ourselves focused on living His way rather than the "right way".

How does the resurrection of Jesus call us into the world transforming revolution that he is carrying out?

What is the church and what are we called to be?

The Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus but his focus is on something greater than they could grasp.

When Jesus talks about fruit what does he mean and who is it for?

When Jesus' authority is questioned how does he handle it?

Jesus enters Jerusalem in a big way.

What are we living life for? Is it to have power and wealth or is it something greater?

Victory doesn't often look like we think it should. How do we see and experience victory in Jesus?

The Lord's Prayer teaches us a lot more than just how to pray.

How can we handle people who treat us with hostility and what shapes our response?
