Whether you’re wresting with fear, shame, or discouragement, Hebrews 2 points us to our true hope—Jesus, the Champion of our salvation. He stood in our place, defeated death, and now calls us His family! When we fix our eyes on Him, our lives are transformed, bringing freedom, victory, and abundant life.

The book of Hebrews is a powerful letter that reveals Jesus Christ as the final and complete Word of God. In a world full of uncertainty. Hebrews calls us to fix our eyes on the glory, supremacy, and unshakable truth of Jesus, who invites us into relationship with Him.

What if our biggest obstacle to faith isn’t intellectual—but personal? This week, we tackle the deeper reason so many resist Jesus: not because He hasn’t proven Himself, but because if He is who He says He is, it means we’re no longer in charge. It’s not just about answering our questions—it’s about surrendering our autonomy. Whether you’re a skeptic, a seeker, or a longtime believer, it’s crucial to confront the deeper issue behind unbelief and consider what it really means to trust Jesus with your whole life.

Are science and religion incompatible? With the advancement of technology and science, some would argue that science has disproved Christianity. But while science can observe and describe what we are, it cannot answer who we are—we must look back, look within, and look up.

If God is good, why is there so much suffering in the world? If you’ve asked this question, you’re not alone. We live in a fallen world where sin has broken into the fabric of every good thing God has created. But here’s the good news—the Bible tells us that God is not indifferent to our suffering. He responds to it with His presence, purpose, and a promise to ultimately make all things new.

Why is God so violent in the Old Testament? This is one of the biggest questions that people wrestle with when it comes to the Bible. But God’s character is the same across both the Old and New Testament. God is never against people, He’s against evil.

Easter Sunday is a day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus who rose from the grave—defeating death and offering new life to all who believe in Him! But did Jesus really rise from the dead? Is Christianity just a myth? The resurrection of Jesus is not just a story, but is rational, powerful, and personal.

One of the biggest questions people wrestle with is: How could a loving God send people to hell? But the better question is: Why would God die to save me from it? In Luke 16, Jesus’ teaching on the reality of hell isn’t just a warning—it actually helps us to better understand ourselves, live at peace in a broken world, and truly receive God’s love.

If you’re exploring faith, you may be wrestling with the question: Hasn’t Christianity caused injustice? Hasn’t it promoted slavery and violence, like during the Crusades? But when we dig into Scripture, we see these actions do not reflect God’s heart. The truth is, not everything done in God’s name is of God.

As universalist statements have become increasingly popular, it leaves us asking the question: Is there only one way to God? How do we know if Jesus is the only way to God or if there are many paths? But what seems exclusive in the person of Jesus is actually the most widely inclusive invitation and worldview in human history.

One of the biggest rejections to Christianity today is simply, “Can I trust the Bible?” How do we know that it wasn’t made up, or that the stories didn’t change over time? Asking the hard questions is imperative, and this week, we dug into the historical accuracy and authority of the Bible.

Even in the most painful and difficult situations, God can transform what was meant for evil into something good. Whether your marriage and relationships are flourishing or struggling, God relentlessly pursues to redeem the lost and broken. 

God designed marriage as a sacred covenant, but in a fallen world, what does Jesus say about divorce? Even in the midst of the most painful circumstances, God has grace and redemption for every one of us. He can transform our greatest trials into testimonies of His grace.

God created both men and women in His image, His character, and His nature, designing His children with intrinsic value. The Bible holds both male and female, masculine and feminine, as distinctly different but unbelievably important and equal in value.

Singleness is a gift from God, and it is a noble calling—one that is given for the purpose of serving Jesus and advancing His Kingdom. Biblical singleness, or celibacy, goes far beyond abstinence. It is about fully dedicating one’s time, talents, and resources to serve God.

There are two common worldviews of sex: that it’s just physical, or it is something to be ashamed of. But the Bible tells us that it is deeply spiritual and a sacred gift, designed to be enjoyed within the confines of marriage. When we align our lives with God’s design for relationships, it brings life, healing, and freedom.

How did God design the marriage relationship to function? How do healthy marriages thrive? By growing in our love for God and looking to Him to meet all of our needs, we are then able to show Christlike love to our spouse and center the relationship on biblical values.

Just as the disciples were apprentices of Jesus, reflecting His way of life, we are called to do the same. The question isn’t just “What would Jesus do?” but “How would Jesus live His life if He were me?”

In John 15, Jesus invites us to abide in Him — but how do we live this out? By cultivating spiritual practices such as prayer, reading Scripture, and building community, not only does our outward behavior change, but our character is transformed and made new.
