Good Soil

At the end of Genesis, we're left wondering, "what happened to the Israelites in Egypt?" And in Exodus, God undertakes an epic rescue mission, displaying his power as the God over all gods, and who is mighty in love to save his people. Welcome to the book that records the freeing of slaves, the birth of a nation, and page upon page pointing to God's greatest salvation- Christ himself.

The greatest story has THE beginning. And our story is found in God's story. Welcome to the first book of the Bible, the book of Genesis!

We made it! Praise the Lord who gives his Word for us to read and hear! Listen in as we wrap up and look forward to some things coming up.

The themes of love and truth continue from the beloved apostle, as he writes to churches and individuals to encourage, warn, and instruct them in keeping with the gospel. Welcome to Second and Third John!

Sometimes the most refreshing picture of Christ to help us persevere is one that shows how deep the roots go into the Old Testament. Welcome to the Letter to the Hebrews!

Where does the gospel go? Into the brokenness of relationships. Into the hearts of even masters and runaway slaves. Where does it take us? Into Christ. Welcome to the letter to Philemon.

"'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.' This testimony is true." - Titus 1:12–13. So...how about God's people in Crete, or anywhere else for that matter? Welcome to the letter of Paul to Titus. Let's jump in!

Keep going & stay faithful. These words are probably never heard better from the one of the greats of the Christian faith, the apostle Paul. Jump into the Second Letter to Timothy!

The Return of Christ is a big deal, but don't be fooled. We're to wait faithfully,  hoping, loving. Welcome to 2nd Thessalonians!

Who are you on the "in" with? The Letter to the Ephesians presents a glorious reality that Jesus has for people, people like you and me. Join us as we explore the Letter to the Ephesians, where the people of God can be reassured, grounded, and exhorted to believe and live "in" what--who--is real.

What's the gospel? Would we know if we heard a different one? The apostle Paul was concerned about this in this early church, and this concern is as true today. What does it mean to walk by faith? Introducing the Letter to the Galatians!

The Corinthians listened. And Paul responded personally. And he responded with God’s presence in the midst of difficulties that his church faces. Join Pastor Aaron as we take a high level look at the second letter to the Corinthians!

Every church is working through applying the gospel to their lives, and in Corinth, this was no exception. The question was whether they would pursue holiness with unity. Join Pastor Aaron as we take a high level look at Paul’s praise, rebuke, instruction, and everything else in the First Letter to the Corinthians!

As Acts ends open, the Church (which includes us who are brothers and sisters in Christ today) continues to grow and ask questions about God, salvation, our mission, loving one another, our neighbors. And there are issues when human beings get together and we need instruction from God. That's why God gave us the epistles, instructional letters to help us see Him, continue in Him, and grow together. And Romans is perhaps the most foundational of all of them. Join Pastor Aaron as we gear up to read Paul's Letter to the Romans, displaying the "power of God for salvation to everyone who believes..."
