One of the greatest miracles in the Old Testament was Moses leading the children of Israel out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. Throughout, we see God's hand at work, from delivering the Israelites from slavery to parting the sea and drowning the pursuing Egyptian army. But the Bible tells us that just a month later, the people of Israel complained and forgot all that God had done for them.

At creation, God gave humanity the design for marriage and relationships. Like a sacred treasure, God gave us everything we needed. But over time, humanity closed the lid on this treasure and decided to do things our way, which often leads to hurt and brokenness.

A recent study found that roughly 30% of Americans have reported an instance of sleepwalking; some have made meals, climbed roofs, or even driven a car! The Bible gives a clear warning that many are spiritually sleepwalking, and if we don't wake up, the consequences could be fatal.

When most people think about the "End Times," two things tend to come to the forefront: "The Antichrist & The Mark of the Beast." This week, we look at these issues through a Biblical lens to ensure our understanding is grounded in Scripture and, more importantly, to focus not on how, but on why they matter.

The key to growing in our spiritual life is not merely acquiring information but real transformation. Join us this week as we take time for personal reflection before we reach the conclusion of this series.

Jesus is coming again. Scripture describes a time of extraordinary tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist and his mark, and the gathering of believers to Christ. We may disagree about every detail of the timeline, but one overarching message is crucial for us to understand.

When you hear the term "AI," what comes to mind? You probably envision cutting-edge technology, data centers, rockets flying to explore the depths of the universe, or maybe you're recalling scenes from "The Terminator." So it would likely surprise you to know that perhaps the greatest lesson on the subject of "AI" comes from early humanity and the oldest book in the Bible; the parallels are undeniable.

The nation of Israel is among the most contested real estate in the world and the centerpiece of the three largest world religions. Yet the Jewish people represent only 0.2% of the world's population. So why has Israel become such a controversial topic? What does the Bible say about the nation of Israel today, and how should that shape our response to modern-day Israel?

We hold the world's instant knowledge in the palm of our hands. With a constant bombardment of negative news from around the globe, it's easy to feel as if the world is spiraling out of control. So how do we respond in these circumstances, and what does the Bible say about all of this?

The Bible is the most widely circulated and most persecuted literary work in the world today, and the more effort is put toward reducing its influence, the more its reach grows. Ultimately, the question is: why is there so much attention on the Bible specifically, and how can we know if it is true?

Every conversation seems to follow a similar pattern: a discussion of how tired and worn out we all are. Worse, we've become so accustomed to it that it's almost a badge of honor to be... exhausted. But there is a better option!

Our culture has more information, technology, comfort, and choices than ever, yet people still wrestle with anxiety, loneliness, despair, and a lack of meaning. We keep looking everywhere for answers—on social media, in politics, to celebrities, to AI, and in self-help—but God has already spoken.

As a new school year begins, we pause to hear words of encouragement from some of our kids and youth team and to share in a time of communion.

Information is coming at us so quickly and from so many directions that before we continually consume what's new, we must slow down and make sure we are truly processing what we have learned and allowing it to impact our lives. This week, several of our staff members sit down to discuss what they personally gained from "Experience Summer" and the book of James.

One of the many hidden gems of the Smoky Mountains is Iron Mountain Sporting Clays. But if you're into shooting, this is a must-visit destination. But it goes beyond just a day of shooting; this experience can quickly teach you some important life lessons and have a profound impact on how we live our spiritual lives.
