One At A Time

Nobody grows up dreaming of waking up, going to work, heading home, watching Netflix, scrolling through social media, and then doing it all over again the next day until their last breath. We all want to be used to change the world. We don’t want to spend our lives being time-wasters, or space-takers, or binge-watchers, or game-players, or even book-readers. We want to be difference-makers.

But it’s easy to get caught up in the everyday stuff of life until the years slowly go by, and with each passing year, the question seems to get louder: Am I making any difference in this world? We want to make a difference, but there are so many opinions on the way to do that.

Maybe there’s a different way to make a difference, and we’re just missing it. Without a doubt, Jesus is the person who has made the biggest difference in all of history. So, how did Jesus make such a difference in this world? If we study the story of his life as recorded in the Gospels, there are a number of answers we could highlight, but there’s one particular phrase that captures how Jesus had such an impact, and this phrase is how he wants to use us to make a difference: one at a time. Making a difference isn’t measured by a viral post or a name on a building. It isn’t determined by a following or a fan base. Making a difference isn’t dependent on what’s in your bank account or who’s in your contacts. Want to make a difference? Focus on the one. That’s it. That’s the secret of the way of Jesus. One at a time.

Understanding Trinity

One of the most confusing teachings in Christianity is the Trinity. For many, it is hard to understand the nature of God and how this works within the persons of the Godhead. In this class, we will explore the biblical foundations for this teaching, as well as discuss the early historical discussions that helps define the doctrine of Trinity today.

1 Corinthians

Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians is written to a specific group of people with unique challenges in their community. But the primary message of 1 Corinthians is evergreen—followers of Jesus are held to a standard of integrity and morality as we seek to represent his new way of life to our communities. Paul addresses a variety of experiences and seeks to help the church see them through the lens of the Gospel message. Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection are what unifies a diverse body of believers and allows us to live in a completely new way fused with the hope of God’s Kingdom.

1 Corinthians challenges believers to examine every area of life through the lens of the Gospel. Specifically, Paul addresses divisions among believers, food, sexual integrity, worship gatherings, and the resurrection.

Second Corinthians is a letter written by the apostle Paul in response to the complicated relationship he had with the church at Corinth. Let’s just say they “had a history.” Paul started this Jesus community sometime before on one of his missionary journeys (see Acts 18). After moving on to plant more churches, he gets a disturbing report that things were not going well in Corinth (1 Cor 1:11). The people were dividing into “groups” with varying leaders, having casual sex with one another, going sideways on whether or not to eat food offered to idols, getting drunk at church gatherings, and some were even denying the resurrection. It was like the wild west!

In response, Paul writes a stern letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians in our Bibles) calling for repentance and reformation. Unfortunately, many in the church rejected his words and continued to live as if Paul had no authority in their lives. This open rebellion necessitated a face–to–face “chat” with the Corinthians, which Paul calls the painful visit (2 Cor 2:1). He then leaves and sends another severe letter (now lost) written with anguish and tears in hopes of bringing repentance and reconciliation. Finally, most, but not all, of the Corinthians, realized their sin and pride and apologized to Paul. It’s at this point in their tumultuous history that Paul wrote the letter of 2 Corinthians to assure the church of his love, affection, and commitment to them.

Coming August 2025

August 3 - 31

The World is full of skeptics who challenge the existence of God. As Christians, we must be prepared and ready to answer these questions to our faith. In this class, we will look at some of the traditional arguments for the existence of God as well as examining common challenges that we’ve experienced.

August 3 - September 7

Ask any group what it means to be a Christian, and we will hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms? In this six-session series, Francis Chan will lead us in an exploration of key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship and our relationship with him.
