From Death to Life: The Way We Were

In this message, we explore what it truly means to be God’s masterpiece, as described in Ephesians 2:1-10. We confront the tension between what God says about us and how we often feel — broken, unfinished, and not enough. Through Paul’s words, we discover our new position in Christ, the foundation of grace we stand on, and the purpose we were created for.

What Do You Do When...? Science and Christianity Don't Seem to Agree

Does science disprove the Bible or does it actually complement it? Does being a Christian require that we stop thinking? What do we do when the Bible and scientific theory don’t seem to match up?
