The First Kings of Israel

This March, we’ll explore the beginnings of Israel’s kings in 1 Samuel through 1 Kings as part of our commitment to encountering the full breadth of Scripture. We’ll see some key turning points in this early part of Israel’s kingship, which also gives important historical context to prophets like Hosea and Habakkuk. It’s a timely series for our church’s own leadership transition, highlighting both good and flawed leadership, reminding us of God’s gracious care for His people, and pointing us to Jesus—the true and faithful King.

    Easter is Nonsense

    On the surface, Easter makes no sense; our own experience of life tells us that the dead do not come to life, and yet this is the claim of the Bible and the events in our passage, John 20:1-18.

    Mike helps us to see the heart of this passage, the truth of Jesus’ resurrection and the real and honest emotional responses of Jesus’ friends and followers; Mary, Peter, and John. In this passage, we see how in Jesus we can make sense of the nonsensical.

    This easter, you are invited to re-examine the empty tomb and encounter the risen Jesus. He is risen, he is risen indeed.

    The King of Peace

    The crowds on the road to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival welcome Jesus as their king, but as we read John 12:12-19, it is revealed that Jesus is a different kind of King.

    Mike unpacks this passage and helps us to consider what good leadership should look like and how we can exemplify it in our lives.
