The “greatest commandment” isn’t really a rule at all! It is a call to live a life shaped by love toward God and others. Jesus reminds us that we are invited to be in a personal relationship with the God of the universe who WANTS us to love Him. Listen as Rev. Jocelyn Smolik leads us through Mark 12:29-31.

Truly wanting God includes living a life in which we learn to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with him. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through Micah 6:6-8.

Christians are saved by grace and called to love—no exceptions. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through Revelation 2:1-7.

Can God be trusted? It is not a hypothetical question for most, if not all, of us. We might be quick to affirm that indeed God is trustworthy, only to find ourselves wondering if full faithfulness to him is worth the risk. This study will explore our tendency to distrust God, what motivates us to distrust him, and how we can overcome our distrust. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through 1 Samuel 13:1-15.

Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through Exodus 32:1-8.

The book of Psalms in the Bible is a collection of 150 Hebrew poems that function as songs and prayers. They are a treasure trove of insight on and pathways to exploring and growing a rich, multitextured, and many-layered relationship with God. During this series, give yourself the gift of not only studying the psalms we cover but also experiencing them, praying them, and letting God speak to you through them. Listen as Rev. Jocelyn Smolik leads us through Psalm 135.

What brings quiet to our souls? How can we learn to turn our back on the chaos of this world and instead turn to God with childlike faith that leads to contentment with our circumstances? Psalm 131 challenges us with this question: Is God himself really all we need, or do we focus more on what God can do for us? Listen as Rev. Jocelyn Smolik leads us through Psalm 131.

What do you do when you’re afraid, overwhelmed, anxious and alone? Psalm 3 teaches us how to bring our fears to God, work through them in light of His character and move forward with trust in the midst of hard circumstances. Listen as Rev. Jocelyn Smolik leads us through Psalm 3.

In this psalm, our psalmist laments, asks for forgiveness, and seeks guidance and deliverance. Wow! In the process we are gifted with a rich picture of a robust relationship with God and learn that what God does is connected to who God is and that our need for God is great and our path forward is one of full dependence and trust. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan takes us through Psalm 25 in this Summer in the Psalms.

Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan takes us through Psalm 81 in this Summer in the Psalms.

In the few remaining moments before His arrest, Jesus prays; and one of the things He prays for is you and me! He asked God to make us one with Him and with each other and He asked God to make sure we were with Him forever. God gave Jesus what He asked for – and granted His request through the suffering of the cross. Listen as Rev. Jocelyn Smolik leads us through John 17:20-26.

Our passage answers the question, “How did Jesus really feel about his disciples, those 12 followers who had been with him from the beginning?” In Jesus’ answer, we get a picture too of how he feels about his disciples today, a picture of what divine, mission-of-God love looks like. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through John 17:6-19.

Our only path to life—true life now and for all of eternity—is fundamentally dependent upon the Father and the Son’s absolute commitment to glorify one another through the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through John 17:1-5.

What is at the center of all of your feelings, passions, thoughts, opinions, ideas, ideals, and choices? For Jesus, it was and is God the Father. Jesus was and is Father-centric. It could be that today we find Jesus more accessible than God the Father, even to the point of focusing our whole relationship with God on Jesus. For Jesus, however, God the Father was and is at the center of all things, full of love, completely trustworthy and true. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through John 16:25-33.

Imagine if you were one of Jesus’ disciples as he spoke about his departure and return. You would have been listening without the aid of 2000 years of church history. Leaving? A little while? Returning? Sorrow? Joy? What Jesus accomplished between his leaving and initial returning changed everything—EVERYTHING! This week we embrace the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection—and his promised return at the end of days! Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through John 16:16-24.

Join as 2022 Graduate, Mady Stuck, leads us through Matthew 17:1-8 for Youth Sunday.

Is there someone you’ve lost and now incredibly miss? What if you could have the “spirit” of that person with you always, reminding you and keeping fresh in your mind all the words and love and life of your departed loved one?! That is essentially who the Holy Spirit is. The Spirit’s main job is to proclaim Jesus to the world and to Jesus’ own followers too. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through John 16b-15.

Those who align themselves with Christ—who abide in him—will be rejected by the world—including by those who vehemently profess they represent God but in truth do not. Jesus wishes us to know this so that when it happens to us, we will continue to abide in him. Listen as Dr. Bob Jordan leads us through John 15:8-16:4a.

Jesus has given us the perfect example of friendship – He chooses us, is committed to us, has lain down His life for us and will never abandon us. We DESPERATELY need these kinds of friends, and we need to BE these kinds of friends! Listen as Rev. Jocelyn Smolik leads us through John 15:12-17.
