It may sound contradictory, but we really do believe in a God who is unbelievable and in this magnificent book, Paul tells us that what God has done for his people is unbelievable and what God wants to do through his people is unbelievable. God has taken the lowliest of the low and raised them to the highest of the heights.Just as in the beginning, God created something out of nothing.God in his magnificent grace claimed that which was lost, raised that which was dead, redeemed that which was enslaved, restore that which was broken and reconciled that which was separated.

In today’s culture there are seemingly many ways to find God, or get to heaven. You can choose what’s “right” for you, and others can choose what’s “right” for them. But the Bible says that Jesus Christ is the only way, and that nobody can know God apart from Him (John 14:6). Why Jesus? This Easter we invite you to learn about the only Person who lived a perfect life, died a sacrificial death, and rose from the dead to live again.
The Jesus who did these things is the only One you can know and rely on to help you live life today and be confident that you will spend eternity in heaven. Join Pastor James Merritt as we open the Bible to discover The One, the only, Jesus.

God's gift to us at Christmas, His Son, is the most profound expression of love from the Creator to His Creation. Join Pastor Merritt as we experience Christmas Unwrapped, a journey through the Bible to discover the meaning of God's incredible gift.
Shepherd, poet, warrior, king. In the Old Testament there are few names that resonate as loudly as David. Called "a man after God's own heart", he became the leader of Israel, and a part of the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ. Yet he also committed great sin. In the life story of David we can learn about about the character of God as He relates to one of His most prominent characters in all the Bible.

You know the central moment of the story: a man swallowed by a fish, and lives to tell the tale.
