God & Trials Part 2: The Truth About Joy in Trials
Thursday Aug 18, 2016
Thursday Aug 18, 2016
This week, Eric Knopf continues our series about trials and tribulations. The Bible tells us we will have trouble: and it also says to have joy in all things. Does this mean we are to celebrate for our trouble? No. Many Christians are confused about their biblical mandate for joy and end up shipwrecked in their faith when they face hardship and disappointment. We are called to have joy IN all circumstances, not for them. Don’t wait until you have a tragedy to figure out your theology. Listen in, now to learn the truth about trials, joy, and unshakeable hope.
“When your theology is correct, pain is not a threat to your joy or faith.” — Eric Knopf

Thursday Aug 11, 2016
Thursday Aug 11, 2016
This week, Eric Knopf kicks off our series on trials and tribulations. The prevailing theology of our time says that God is responsible for everything— including grave tragedies and heartbreaking hardships. Sadly, this line of thinking has left many Christians depressed or shipwrecked in their faith, because they believe God is authoring their pain. This blend of theology is not only incorrect but incompatible with God’s character. If you have ever wrestled with questions about where trials come from, or how to respond to them, you do not want to miss this message! Listen in to hear some insight and truth!

Thursday Apr 28, 2016
What do you believe about God’s character? Many of us grew up receiving a general message that God is a selfish glory hog who is always keeping score, and only wants to take from you. But this could not be further from the truth. Jesus came to give you life, and lift you up. God wants your heart, and your ability to receive, far more than he wants your stuff. This week Eric Knopf finished our Character of God series with a message about how God is love, and love is not self-seeking. His message is full of truth, wisdom, and practical ways to understand God’s love. You don’t want to miss this.

When you read the Bible and listen to God’s voice, what kind of tone do you hear? Does He sound like a boss, a mean gym coach, or a loving father?

This week, Eric Knopf continues our character of God series by teaching about how God is not rude, and God is not proud. Listen in to deepen your understanding of who God is, and grow closer in relationship with Him.

The Character Of God Part 3: God Does Not Boast
Thursday Apr 14, 2016
Thursday Apr 14, 2016
This week Eric Knopf continues our Character of God series by breaking down what it means that God does not boast. Many of us have falsely correlated God’s desire to be lifted up in worship, as a form of boasting; but the truth is, God sees worship as the consummation of His covenant with us. Boasting always has an anti-relationship effect, and more than anything, God desires our hearts in relationship with Him. The message is packed! Listen in to learn more about boasting, pride, glory, worship, and the true character of God.

Last week, Eric Knopf started off our character of God series addressing God’s patience; this week he dives into God’s kindness. We’ve all heard that God is kind, yet many of us have little understanding of what true kindness actually means. Kindness is not the same thing as niceness or manipulation, and it cannot be repaid. In tonight’s sermon, you’ll learn about the type of kindness that reaches the heart, the difference between carnal and righteous jealousy, and much, much more. Listen in to hear some truth.
