Psalm 2: Good News For Rebels
We are all rebels – each and every one of us.Humanity's rebellion began with the very first human beings Adam and Eve knew God's requirements but raised their fists toward his throne. They placed themselves in the position of God and decided for themselves what was right and wrong. This was rebellion – an act of treason against their maker and king. Ever since, humanity has been in rebellion against God. The Psalmist wants to clearly state this fact: God has appointed a day when he will bring all rebellion on earth to and end!

Beyond ABC's
In this series, we've talked about the "glory" for which we were created. We get a glimpse of it in the opening pages of Genesis and in the final Revelation of John. We were created to rule and to reign along side Jesus! But the path to greatness in the kingdom of God is a path of servant hood and perseverance. It's a path that many miss. As we dive into the most controversial text in Hebrews, I believe it is this inheritance of ruling with Christ that we are in danger of missing. Are you ready to reign? Key Passage: Hebrews 5:11 - 6:12

Jesus, Worthy to Reign
In this week's message we delve further into Hebrews chapters 4 through 9. This section of the book clearly teaches on the sovreignty and priesthood of Christ. Jesus came to this earth and lived a blameless life; He experienced the world that we live in yet, even to death, he remained pure and wholly dependant upon God. Through Jesus' example we too are challenged to depend on God fully, so that we can reign, as priests, with Him. Are you reigning, today? Key Passage: Hebrews 4:14 - 9:10

Don't Miss This
In this week's message Pastor Mark Burch examines Hebrews 3 and 4 and speaks about our identity as Christ followers. The writer of Hebrews admonishes us to claim our inheritance and find our rest and strength to do that in Christ. We are not to sit back and let this world pass us by; instead we are to engage our culture and influence our world as co-heirs with Christ. Are you willing to take your inheritance? Key Passage: Hebrews 3:1-4:13

God's Temple
What does it mean for humanity to be created in God's image for how we are to relate to the rest of the created order? Ancient practices show us that humanity is to lovingly care for the created order demonstrating God's care and love for his creation. What we discover is that God's temple is not merely the individualistic notions we westerners try to develop but is something much bigger and more profound.

John 9:1-41 - The Gift of Seeing Christ
Jesus worked a miracle by not only giving sight to a man born blind but also enabling him to see Christ as the Messiah and believe in Him. The Pharisees were blinded by their misguided self-righteous rulekeeping and couldn't see what was really valuable to God.
