Sex before marriage? Sex after marriage? Sex outside of marriage? Sex inside of marriage? What does the Bible say about sex? Who should have sex, with whom, and when, and why? And an honest conversation about “purity culture” that no one is talking about.

Following Jesus seems to make sense when you’re feeling lost or hopeless - when you need Him to fix things. But what about when your life is great? Why should you follow Jesus when you’re already feeling pretty comfortable? In this first message of our “You Asked For It” series, we unpack what it truly means to follow Jesus, and why this still matters whether our life is “fine” or not.

The Bible teaches that there are unicorns. The Bible endorses slavery. The God of the Bible commanded genocide. How can anyone consider the Bible and the Bible’s God to be a reliable and authoritative guide?” If someone confronted you with these claims, how would you respond? You will be equipped to respond in this, the closing message of our “How (Not) to Read the Bible” series!

The Bible is full of stories and verses that, at times, can be hard to make sense of. And yet, in every part, it all points to Jesus. Don't believe us? Dive into the entire story of the Bible as we unpack just how evident Jesus is from the beginning of scripture all the way to the end.

The Bible is filled with promises from God: declarations that God has made, vows that God has declared. And many people, over the years, have shipwrecked their faith by claiming some of these promises for themselves. Why is that wrong? How is that a problem? That is the dynamic that we are focusing upon in this week’s teaching.

We’ve all done it. Flipped open our Bible to a random page, and put our finger on a random verse hoping that God would give us a message of encouragement or direction. This might seem like a very spiritual thing to do, but it can actually lead to a lot of confusion and misinformation. In this week’s message we’ll learn the proper way to read the Bible.

The Bible is the most remarkable book ever. But it is also the most unique. When you understand what the Bible is all about, you will appreciate what it has to say.

Many have experienced the power that comes from interacting with the Bible. Many have also experienced the confusion that can come from interacting with the Bible. Many can personally attest to the fact that reading the Bible canbuild you up, and reading the Bible can mess you up. In today’s teaching, we are going to learn why this is true, and how we can ensure we are interacting with the Bible in a healthy and life-giving way.
