To identify in faith and follow Jesus Christ will bring both persecution and great reward. Why does persecution happen? What does persecution look and feel like in America right now?

Jesus gives us the manual, the mandate, how to thrive amidst opposition as his missional witnesses for Christ worldwide. Join us!

Most importantly, we'll be looking closely at what Jesus said: There are ONLY two gates/two roads/two very destinations and two groups of people;...

“Don't judge me!” Most likely we've all heard it; or heard about it. It's an oxymoron because the one saying that is also judging. Jesus told us not to judge one another, but what did he mean? Are there good judgments to be made and ones we must avoid? Yes. Join us!

Is there evidence Jesus rose? Is there real hope for all who believe in Christ will...

Palm Sunday is celebrated worldwide the week before the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What does it all mean? Is it related somehow to the return of Christ someday? Yes. Join us as we celebrate the triumph of Christ Jesus.
