God wants you to become a wise person so that you can live your best life for Him. How do I do that? We want to learn a lesson from the Parable of the 10 Virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. Which are you!

As we continue our series, Jeff looks at what happens when a people group (The Ephesians) encounter the living and powerful God. After some ‘unusual miracles’ were experienced in Ephesus, the people’s response included burning anything that kept them from being fully devoted to God. This begs a lot of questions but one stands out: ‘What do you need to burn in the fireplace of devotion?’

Jeff continues our series by gathering us around ‘The Fireplace of Denial.’ Peter’s denial of Christ is one of the more tragic moments in Peter’s life and from this passage we can ask a lot of questions: What lead up to his denial? How can we avoid making these mistakes? And mostly importantly, how does Jesus respond to me when I falter or turn away myself? Like Peter, may we always know that a denial of Christ doesn’t mean we have to be done with God.

Jeff kicks off a new series this week inspired by the fireplaces we read about in scripture and the fireplaces of our own lives. Simply put: life is shared around the fire. In our first message of the series, Jeff teaches from Acts 28, looking at how ‘The Fireplace of Healing’ draws us into God’s presence but is often found in moments of tragedy.
