Jesus was the wisest man who ever lived. Parables - stories Jesus’ told to provoke new thought and new ways of living - were one of the primary ways he imparted truth to the world around him. He often taught in parables to people who already thought they knew the truth; who already believed they were living “God’s way;” who believed they knew God’s heart and character. It is difficult to teach those who already think they know. Thus, Jesus used arresting stories about everyday life to shock his listeners into seeing God, reality and life in a new way. The brilliant thing about Jesus’ parables is that though the truths they contain are timeless and deep, most could be understood by the ordinary men and women of his day. At the same time, we can never plumb their depths. However, the purpose of parables was never mere head-knowledge, but always action; always a new way of living in light of who God is and who we are. Parables were (and still are) invitations into life in the Kingdom of God. We are excited to

God is present and active in our lives and the world around us always. He wants us to know Him intimately and to know what He’s up to in this world. But He never intended for our relationship with Him to be one-sided. He’s also given us some great ways to RESPOND to Him so that our relationship can grow. God invites us to: Just “get to God” and sit with Him “Trust” Him when life catches us by surprise or disappoints us “Serve” Him by knowing and using the strengths, talents and spiritual gifts He’s given to us “Worship” Him as our hearts and minds are filled with knowledge and understanding of God Have good conversations with Him through “Prayer” This series is being led by teachers from our student ministry team. Not only will it challenge, encourage and inspire you to consider how to “respond” to God, but it also will give you a glimpse into the high caliber, relevant Biblical teaching our students are hearing on a weekly basis at CHAOS, Big House, and BASIC.

A love story between each other and God. A journey of understanding Grace vs performance and the approval of others. Am I good enough? Can I trust God?

What was it like for people to encounter Jesus immediately after his Resurrection? What is it like for people to encounter Jesus today? Join us for Easter as we explore these questions!

In this series, we are zooming out to get a bird’s eye view of the Story of God contained in the Scriptures. It is so important that we all understand this deep reality we live in. So as we zoom out, we will also zoom in to pay close attention to what we are calling the “chapters” of God’s story - from the beginning of the world to the picture of the world to come. And the theme of this story - which is a real story, a true story - is that God is a God of redemption and restoration -- a God always calling people back to himself, who makes all things new, and who never, ever gives up on His people. God is a God who in Creation made everything that exists, out of love. And even though God gave us everything we need, human beings fell into sin because of our own choices at the Fall. And our relationship with God, with each other, and with God’s good creation was ruptured. But God didn’t give up on us. He called to himself a Chosen People and made of them a great nation. But humans fell into sin again and again a
