As we begin the Advent season this year we look a the story of Simeon, recorded by Luke in his gospel. Simeon's is a story of Hope, at length deferred, but finally fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. Simeon heard from the Lord and had hope in Him. He had a trust in things yet unseen. What does it look like for us to step into Simeon's sandals? What can we learn when we come & see the Hope of Humanity, God With Us in the person of Jesus and begin to trust in Him?

Part 8: The Glory of Renewal
Do you have a vision of Heaven? Pastor Ryan concludes our series through the Epic Story of Scripture with just that. We look at the end of Revelation as John paints for us a picture of what eternity in the presence of God will be like! We will have God with us forever, no more pain or sorrow, and a life where all things are new... always. Hallelujah!

Part 7: The Glory of His Reign
What will it be like after Jesus comes back? Is it a time to be fearful of or a time to look forward to with hopeful anticipation? The answer to that depends on you. Do you want to be ruled by King Jesus? That is the reality and the question set before us as Pastor Ryan draws our year-long journey through the Bible near its conclusion with a look at Revelation 20 and the reign of King Jesus in this penultimate teaching from the Epic Story.

The Holiness of God
There is one attribute of God's that gets repeated three times when it's used. That is that God is holy, holy, holy. He is utterly other and worthy of true awe and reverence. Pastor Mike returns to set before us what it means to live in the fear of the Lord and pursue the Kingdom of Heaven first.

Part 6: The Glory of His Return
Do you know the end of the Epic Story? It's pretty simple: Jesus wins! The power of Satan holds sway in many venues in the world, giving rise to the influence of the Biblical concept of Babylon all around us. Followers of Jesus can, however, have hope. In the end the Lamb of God, the Savior of the World, Jesus the Anointed One, The very God of Creation Incarnate will return in glorious splendor to vanquish Satan and establish His Kingdom of Truth and Justice forever!
Bridging the gap between who we are and who God created us to be.
