IT STARTED WITH THREE
One fateful night 2000 years ago, Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus stepped out the front door of that manger, faced the cold wind, and somehow knew this was just the beginning. Just the three of them. Three who would change the world, but that journey would not be easy, but they were up for the challenge...
IMAGINE
Imagine what your life would be like if you had perfect confidence that there was a God who knew your name and would never leave you. Imagine having a faith that was bigger than your problems. Imagine a faith that could sustain you through trials, temptations, and even success. Imagine peace without fear. Imagine a faith that allowed you to just trust God — no matter what!
This year, that’s where God wants to take you!
FALSE MEMORY
We all forget things…. cellphones, people’s names, even anniversaries! But sometimes, we remember things didn’t actually happen! Most times this isn’t a big deal. But, what happens when we build a theology on scripture... that never really existed?
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN
Many adults learned about Santa Claus and God at the same time. And, while their understanding of Santa evolved, their concept of God did not. As a result, our childhood faith didn't hold up to the pressures of adulthood. What if we could start over? Join us as we hit the reset button on our faith and rebuild an understanding of God that can stand up to anything!

SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE
One of the last things Jesus did before He left this world was to instruct His disciples to teach the world HIS commandments. As the disciples looked back over Jesus’ teachings, they realized His commands were strikingly simple, yet incredibly demanding. In fact, they were seemingly impossible! In this series we examine the challenges Jesus put before us.
RUN
As a child, did you ever decide to run away from home? Maybe as an adult you decided you would run away from God. At some level, many of us are on the run from Him. What happens when we know what's wise, but we choose otherwise? Find out in this series, Run.
GREATEST HITS
While the Bible is filled with amazing wisdom, certain sections stand out. Those popular verses, stories, or principles have become famous! Are they just some pop hit? Have we forgotten why these verses transformed the world? Let’s dig in the crates to discover the Bible’s Greatest Hits.
NOW BOARDING
Wherever we are, we’re never really settled. We’re always thinking about what's next... graduation, new job, marriage, maybe even divorce? Transitions can be stressful because we can't see the future. What if you could do something now to influence where you end up then? Let’s prepare for what’s next.
FOLLOW ME
Jesus loved people. Whats so amazing is that people who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus — and he liked them back! Religion called them sinners, society called them outcasts, but Jesus called them friends. Can the same be said for christians today? Do unbelievers feel comfortable and safe in your presence, or do they feel condemned and judged? We may understand Jesus’ teachings, but have we mastered his method? For Jesus, it wasn’t necessarily about being right…it was about creating a relationship. What would it look like if we followed Jesus' lead in our interactions with others?

How did we let such a special story lose its magic? This year, let’s change that!

THE MORE YOU KNOW

LIFE-CHANGING FICTION
