We live in a world that often feels overwhelmed by falsehoods. Misinformation spreads rapidly, doubt is sown easily, and the very concept of objective truth seems to be under constant assault. It can leave us feeling disoriented, even defeated. But as followers of Christ, we are called to be people of truth—not just to recognize it, but to embody it. This isn't a passive call; it's an active invitation to engage with the reality that God has revealed. Join us for our new series, Exposed: Revealing Truth in a Culture of Lies. Together, we'll explore how God's unchanging Word provides the ultimate compass in a world adrift in deception, equipping us to identify falsehoods, stand firm in our convictions, and live lives that reflect the authentic hope of the Gospel. It’s time to shed light on what’s truly real.

Here are a few series to consider from RightNow Media:
Counter Cultural | Ed Young | 6 Sessions
The Sermon on the Mount presents practical principles for "countercultural living". Applying them requires us to "swim upstream" in a world that is broken, but we learn along the way that countercultural living results in true happiness and transforms every dimension of our lives.
Sex Crazed Culture | Ed Young | 5 Sessions
Sex is a sacred gift from God that He designed to be celebrated in marriage. And the truth is, the Church has fallen down on the job and allowed the secular realm to inform how human sexuality should be viewed.
That’s why Dr. Ed Young points us back to the Creator and His Word in this new 5-message series, Sex Crazed Culture. Dr. Young reminds us to seek God’s purposes and principles first when it comes to sex, and he addresses the vital role sex plays in marriage, the cause of adultery, how to prevent an affair, and the deception of homosexuality.
Culture Shock | Chip Ingram | 12 Sessions
Where do you stand on issues like: Truth, Sex, Homosexuality, Abortion, the Environment, and the Church and Politics? More importantly, what does God say? More than ever before, believers must develop convictions based on research, reason, and biblical truth. But it doesn’t stop there. It’s equally important that you’re able (and willing) to communicate these convictions with a love and respect that reflects God’s love. This series will help you learn how to respond with love, even in the face of controversy. In the process, you’ll discover the power of bringing light–not heat–to the core issues at the heart of society today.
