Twisters: When God's Words Get Twisted
Until recently, tornados, or twisters, have rarely touched down in the Finger Lakes, but most of us are aware of the unimaginable havoc and tragedy they can bring into life. Likewise, twisted Scriptures have a similar power to hurt us. When God’s Words are misunderstood, misinterpreted, or misapplied, they can ravage your well-being in many ways - spiritually, emotionally, and in some cases, even physically.
Join us as we look at some of the most commonly twisted Scriptures, such as “Train up a child,” Proverbs 22:6; "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,” Jeremiah 29:11-13; “I can do all things through Christ,” Philippians 4:13; and “All things work together for good,” Romans 8:28. You won't want to miss our new 12-part series, Twisters: When God’s Words Get Twisted!
The Seeking King
Everyone longs for a leader they can trust to give them prosperity, stability, and security. That’s what we hope for in every election, in our job, in our relationships, and in a crisis. It is also what people in the Old Testament longed for in a leader. However, no matter what leader they had, eventually they were disappointed. Even King David, a man after God's own heart, let everyone down. The silver lining in all of this is that when human leaders overpromise and underdeliver, they point to the perfect leader and king. Join us as we see how David's story points to a king who never disappoints in The Seeking King: A Man After God's Own Heart.

Jesus Never Said That...
Jesus shared a lot of wisdom while He was here on Earth. And lately, He also seems to share a lot on Instagram, on printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and what Jesus never said? Join us this Easter for “Jesus Never Said That...” and find out what Jesus really said!
Remember the Titans
In 1971 Virginia, after leading his team to 15 winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast was demoted and replaced by Herman Boone. These two men overcame their differences and turned a group of hostile young men into champions. Remember the Titans is based on a true story of how a town, torn apart by resentment, friction, and mistrust, comes together.
Almost 2000 years earlier, there was another group of Titans who lived in the city of Corinth. They had abilities, talent, money, and they had Christ, but their environment allowed them to use their new Christian faith as a vehicle to amplify their own self-centeredness.
The apostle Paul, who pastored them, coached them, and had lived with them for 18 months, wrote to them. His hope was that they would become champions in reaching their city, and beyond, with the great news of Jesus Christ. We could learn a lot from these Titans of old and we might just find that, if we followed Coach Paul’s advice, we could be the best team and the best church that we could be!
