After God declares the Ten Commandments to Israel, the people respond with fear—but not in response to the commands, but because of the display of God’s power on the mountain. The Bible speaks often of God’s fearfulness, but how can a good God be a fearful God? What is the point of God being fearful? And how should God’s people response to His fearfulness? Join us to find out.

Christianity is a dead religion if Christ remains dead. The truths of the Gospel have no power if Jesus is powerless over the grave. The Resurrection of Christ is a sign of hope for every promise of God, but in this life and the life to come. Join us this Resurrection Sunday and find out from the oldest book in the Bible why the resurrection of the Savior shows His worthiness to redeem, to rule, to raise, and to reign with His people.

The crucifixion of Christ was more than an example of love, it revealed God’s justice, holiness, and wrath — and also His abundant mercy and grace. Understanding the Cross is crucial to understanding Christianity. Join us for an expositional look at one of the most famous chapters in Scripture to see why Christ alone is the only worthy Lamb to take away the sins of the world.

Jesus’ most repeated question in the Gospels is, “Have you not read?” Everything Jesus did was done intentionally to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, from His birth, to His life, to His death and resurrection. It’s not enough to simply accept the historical Jesus, one must submit to the Word of God, which Christ fulfilled.

Jesus commanded that God’s people must be perfect and that their righteousness must exceed even that of the Pharisees. How can this be, since all people sin? As we study the life of Christ in preparation for Easter, join us and see why the entire counsel of Scripture points to the necessity of Jesus’ fulfillment of the Law as the basis of salvation for all who believe.  

Jesus is the only one worthy to save sinners from God’s wrath. There was no other way for God to redeem people enslaved to sin other than sending Jesus to be born in human flesh, to live under the law, to die a condemned death, and to rise on the third day. In this Easter series, we look systematically at God’s Word to understand why each aspect of Christ’s life was necessary to fulfill the Gospel. Join us in studying God’s Word to see how the incarnation of Christ is a central part of the Easter story.

In God’s tenth and final command in the Decalogue, He emphasized the importance of contentment. A lack of contentment is shown is covetousness. Join us and find out why God commands more than just outward obedience from His people, but an obedience of the heart that delights in Him alone!

Satan is called the Father of Lies (John 8:44), which is why it’s no surprise that falsehood is one of his most common strategies in dividing the people of God. Thankfully, God warns against the dangers of speaking falsely of each other, starting at Mount Sinai. Join us and found out why God demands that people speak of each other in a truthful manner.

Does stealing matter? Although it may feel tempting to justify petty theft, fraud, and deception, wrongly taking what belongs to someone else goes against God’s holiness and runs counter to what it means to be God’s people. Find out why. 

In a world where promiscuity is promoted, lewdness is loved, and sexual sin is tolerated for the sake of self, find out why God hates adultery and why committing adultery is not just a grave sin against other people but against God Himself.
