We go to Google for a lot, right? We search for easy dinner recipes, the latest news headlines, personality tests, college essay help, parenting tips, sporting event scores... the list goes on.

Now, what if instead of going to Google for the answers to everything life throws our way, we instead turned to the Bible to discover more about ourselves and who we were made to be?

It’s refusing to be satisfied with the way things are.

Jesus is the most influential person in history. Even outside of Christianity, the stories and teachings of Jesus are well known by many, and they have stood the test of time for thousands of years. Most of Jesus’ life and teachings were done publicly where the eyes of many could observe what He said and did. But there are three stories in the life of Jesus where only three people were allowed to witness what took place. These three men were His disciples: Peter, James, and John. In the life of Jesus, He was pursued by thousands, followed by hundreds, and apprenticed 12 to be his Apostles. So what is so special about these stories where He only allowed three people to be present? We’ll explore that question this series as we take a look at Jesus’ "Inner Circle."...More

Ask any competitive swimmer and they’ll tell you: the race can be won and lost in the flip turn… the speed at which you can turn around and go in the opposite direction. Sometimes in life, we realize we need to make a flip turn. Whether we’re headed for a wall, or simply realize we are not headed in the direction we know we should be going, we know we need to make a flip turn and head the other way. It's just that sometimes, we aren't sure how. In this upcoming series, "Flip Turns", we’ll explore stories from the Bible of people who changed direction - some for the better and some for the worse - and see how we can be inspired through their lives to make the flip turns we need to make in our own....More

The Christian life is often misunderstood as a life characterized by dos and don'ts, the restriction of freedom, and an endless monotony of religious rituals. Based on that assumption, no wonder we're not interested in drawing closer to God! And yet what if the truth is that God wants so much more for us than we even want for ourselves? In fact, Jesus Himself said about us, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life" (John 10:10). In the series "Made for More," we will examine what Jesus has in mind for us, and how we might stay focused on pursuing ultimate satisfaction rather than settling for counterfeit happiness. ...More

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Paul... maybe you're familiar with some of these people from the Bible or maybe you've never heard of them before. These are people who had profound encounters with God throughout the Bible. But when you read these stories about their lives, when you read about God's activity in and through them - about God's concern for them and His people - it can be hard sometimes to wrap your head around the idea that He is the same God who wants to know and be known by us today. In Meck's new series "Same God," you'll discover how these incredible events from the past - God leading the people of Israel in a pillar of fire, providing manna from heaven to feed them in the wilderness, parting the Red Sea, healing the blind - are all the work of the very same God who is there to guide us when we face challenges or times of need. ...More

It's one of the most unique concepts of the Christian faith. It's also the most scandalous. It's easy to receive, but often the most difficult to comprehend.

Check out the series "Christianity's Most Scandalous Idea" to find out....More

Primordial is defined as that which has existed since the beginning of time. The first book of the Bible called Genesis, begins with these words: “In the beginning..." So what do we really know about the beginning of time and those earliest chapters of human history? The first eleven chapters of Genesis are said to contain our world's primordial history - from creation to the first murder, cataclysmic floods to towers reaching into the sky. How do we grapple with all that it holds in light of fact vs. fiction, or science vs. religion? We invite you to join us for Meck’s latest series, “Primordial: Genesis and the World's Primeval History,” where Pastor Jim White will take us through what the Bible would say constitutes our world's primordial history....More

We’re glad you’re here!...More
