Proving that "success" looks far different than we might expect for an apostle's ministry, Paul "boasts" of his credentials. Remarkably sarcastic, Paul gives examples of what it costs him to be an apostle, which demonstrates, ultimately, that a true gospel ministry is for the weak, not the strong.

2 Corinthians | A Fool’s Boast - 2 Corinthians 11:16-30

Through Solomon's searching, examining, and evaluation, we have learned what it means to live well. In the final chapter of this book, Solomon turns his eye to what it means to die well. How do we live with the end in mind? Our Creator strengthens and guides our final years through knowledge before we see Him face to face.

Ecclesiastes | Make the Most of It - Ecclesiastes 11:8-12:7

In one of the most personal moments of Jesus's post-resurrection appearances, we consider the restoration of Peter. Peter, a man humbled and embarrassed, finds hope, a future, and comfort in a conversation with Jesus who knows all of Peter's story, and chooses to restore him for a life of useful ministry.

Easter | A Sinner Restored - John 21:15-17

In light of an uncertain and complex world, Solomon recognizes the need for poise and discretion. Favoritism in the workplace, foolishness, and the temptation to be reckless with our words all demand nuance and wisdom to navigate. It's the discipline of self-control that will allow us to speak with dignity and grace, and find our way in difficult times.

Ecclesiastes | Poise - Ecclesiastes 10:4-20

Solomon begins a new line of questions answering the question, "What is good for man?" In the shifting sands of life's unpredictable circumstances, how do we define what is good? Solomon helps us to see the thread of God's kindness to us in a variety of life's inevitable events proving that we can indeed "rejoice always."

Ecclesiastes | What is Good? - Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:14

Solomon turns from our spiritual life to examine the quest for wealth and financial freedom. Bad investments, shady business deals, and covetous hearts all threaten the quest for finding hope in our wealth. Rather than seeking stability and security in our pursuit of wealth, Solomon counsels us to work hard, spend money, be content and enjoy the gift of wealth that God has given.

Ecclesiastes | Wasting Our Wealth - Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9

There's a time for everything. This phrase permeates the wisdom of Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Whether it's edification or erosion, life is characterized by seasons. It's precisely the awareness of these reliable seasons that help us live wisely, and help us set our hearts on God, the unchanging one who inhabits eternity.<br />

There's a time for everything. This phrase permeates the wisdom of Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Whether it's edification or erosion, life is characterized by seasons. It's precisely the awareness of these reliable seasons that help us live wisely, and help us set our hearts on God, the unchanging one who inhabits eternity.

Ecclesiastes | Seasons - Ecclesiastes 3:1-22

As the prototypical human, Solomon experiences and evaluates the pursuits that we believe give our lives meaning. Solomon discovers that they fall far short in the face of the inevitable. He then gives us our first glimpse into finding and experiencing consistent joy during our time on earth.

Ecclesiastes | I Tried It All - Ecclesiastes 1:16-2:26

Following Jesus requires surrender. It's within this reality that we see Luke's account of the transfiguration of Jesus. Luke gives us a unique focus as he connects the transfiguration to stories from the Old Testament, showing that Jesus is the "Chosen One"—the one to whom all of Scripture points. Listening to Him during the trials of our life is one of the greatest ways we can respond.

The Transfiguration | Luke 9:28-36

In the final message in our church series, we look at a moment in David's life that demonstrates a key element in our relationship with God: Worship. Apart from feelings, experiences, or spiritual encounters, worship happens when we give because of God's greatness.

The Church | What We Do - 2 Samuel 24:10-25

After looking at the religious aspects of the Anti-Christ's kingdom, John describes the commercial, political, and economic aspects of this world power next. The destruction promised to the Babylon of the Old Testament is ultimately fulfilled as Babylon of the last days is brought down. For the Christian this chapter exposes the danger of finding our fulfillment and hope in political power or economic success.

Revelation | The Fall of Babylon - Revelation 18:1-24

As the Dragon has called and empowered the beast to receive his authority and power, we're introduced to another beast. This beast, the false prophet, completes the unholy trinity. The false prophet will preach the power of the Dragon and the Anti-Christ and force all on earth to take the mark of the beast. ⁣

Revelation | The False Prophet - Revelation 13:11-18

Paul exhorts the Galatians to walk by the Spirit. It's the constant conflict between what we ought to do and what we want to do that characterizes our sanctification journey. Paul helps us see why the law is a threat not just to our right standing with God  but our right walking with God.

No Other Gospel | Spirit and the Flesh - Galatians 5:16-25

Small steps will take you to the wrong destination as surely as large steps will. Paul argues that what seems like a small compromise is really a complete abandonment of all that Jesus is for us. It's freedom that Jesus has won, and freedom that empowers us to love others in a way that the law will never allow.

No Other Gospel | A Little Leaven - Galatians 5:2-15

Pastor Steve Heron returns to the series "No Other Gospel" this week in Galatians 4:8–20.

No Other Gospel: Child of God by Adoption - Galatians 4:1–7

Pastor Steve Heron continues the series "No Other Gospel" in Galatians 3:23–29. The end of Paul's journey through the Old Testament results in some of the most beautiful truths of the New Testament church.

No Other Gospel | From Prisoners to Sons - Galatians 3:23–29

Pastor Steve Heron continues the series "No Other Gospel" in Galatians 3:15–22. Just what is the relationship between the law and the promise of God? Is the law good? Irrelevant? Does the law change God's promises? Supersede them? Paul looks at the purpose of the law in light of God's promises to Abraham.

No Other Gospel | Laws and Promises - Galatians 3:15–22

Pastor Steve continues the series "No Other Gospel" through the book of Galatians. Paul continues his explanation of justification. Paul shows us how to find hope by contrasting our relationship with law and our relationship with Jesus.

No Other Gospel | Dead to Law, Alive to Faith - Galatians 2:17-21

Pastor Steve Heron continues the series "No Other Gospel" in the book of Galatians. Paul has established that the gospel he preaches was independent from the influence of the Jerusalem apostles. This week,  Paul continues building his defense saying that while his gospel mission is different than the apostles in Jerusalem, his message is identical.
