TEACHING | How Not to Read the Bible
The Bible can be an overwhelming pursuit to understand. Nathan teaches how Jesus viewed the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible) and how it applied to his life. He also reveals three ways we can misread and misuse the Bible.
TEACHING | Free from Depression
Depression is often caused by unresolved long-term disappointment, discouragement, or frustration. Nathan teaches us that depression is a hopeless outlook that rejects God’s goodness and His ability to empower us in every circumstance and relationship.
TEACHING | Free from Condemnation
Spirit-filled conviction does not deny sin, but it demands that you not be defined by it. Joe Muck teaches us that condemnation does not trust what Jesus has done and is the hopeless state in which we allow our mistakes, failures, and sins to define us.
TEACHING | Free from Anger & Bitterness
We often use anger to either protect or fight against emotional, physical, or mental pain and discomfort. Nathan & Lacey Steel teaches us how to be free of the two types of unrighteous anger (smoldering anger and explosive anger) from their own experience.
TEACHING | How Jesus Responds to Mess
We often respond to others’ messes based on how we view ourselves. Jordan teaches us from Matthew 11:28-30; 8:2-3; 9:2, 35-36; 14:14; John 11:35 that Jesus engages us in our mess.
