Imagine sitting by a roaring fire, the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree illuminate the room, and in the warmth and glow of the moment we allow our thoughts to drift back through time to the very first Christmas. We know the characters of Christmas, but as familiar as we are with the story do we really take the time to understand how important each person in the story really is? In this series, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas and we find someone who is NOT your average Joe.

It has been said, never discuss religion or politics at dinner – if you do, it will ruin the dinner and there will be a fight. Well, guess what? It is time to ruin the dinner!
Join us in the next rotation of CORE during Mid-Week @ 434 for this timely study designed for adults. This is a brutally honest, hard-hitting, light-hearted, and without a doubt a thought-provoking 4-week Bible study where we dive into the wild world of elections and how faith can keep us grounded when the political circus rolls into town. We’ll cover everything from praying for candidates (even the ones you can’t stand) to trusting God when the results leave you scratching your head. Expect plenty of laughs, moments of self-reflection, and a whole lot of faith-building as we explore how our trust in God should always be stronger than our trust in polls! You will come away with a clear understanding of how important your vote is, how you vote in a way that honors Jesus, and how do you navigate the world of politics in a way that honors God!

The change of seasons brings and end and new beginning to the world we live in.

However, the change of seasons means so much more than weather. There are television shows, sports leagues, fashion, agriculture, tourism, holidays, wildlife, hunting, fishing, flu, and allergy that all have seasons. There are also seasons that we have to travel into spiritually. With each season brings new challenges. This series is created to give you a healthy, simple, refreshing, and confidence building adventure as you develop a Christian Worldview. Now, that may not sound exciting, but think about it. In your own personal season you see things happening all around you. Maybe you are a parent sending your kids back to school. Perhaps you are finding yourself having to parent a parent, which is something you never had to do. Maybe you are facing a health challenge you never had before. There is a new beginning and fresh start that you are traveling into. You hear the news of the day and it scares you. The world is changing faster than you can change and it worries you. It is an election year and you are terrified of the choices you are about to make – you get it right? The world is whizzing past us and we have to decide how we will face it.

The way you face the culture and the worldview you bring into the life living and decision making process will change everything. This series is the one you need to be a part of!

Are you ready for the rapture? Now that is a loaded question for some. For others it is terrifying. For others it is confusing. And for others they just wonder what it might mean.

This rotation of Core begins a four week look at a specific sign of the end times that all followers are impacted by – The Rapture.

We will use God’s Word to understand and in very practical ways make this sometimes tough concept easy to understand.

It will be helpful, hopeful, and every once in a while hilarious. And each week you will get your very own Grave Robber Guide to the Rapture – what else could you need – right?

Remember our new series called Phenomenal begins this weekend @ 434. We are going to be looking at seven miracles that Jesus did as recorded in the book of John. Each one points us to a deeper understanding and trust in Jesus. Just as a note, the final session in Phenomenal series is entitled “The Grave Robber” – which is why this rotation of CORE is so important to understand. Connect, grow, and let’s spend this rotation together.

Let’s hold nothing back and die empty. Pouring ourselves out to God is our gift back to Him – it is a call to Extremes…but it is in the extremes that we truly come alive!

Dive into the profound truth that God is love in this compelling series. Join us as we explore the foundational concept that defines our faith and transforms our lives. Discover how understanding God’s love impacts our relationships, decisions, and legacy. Don’t miss out on this journey to unravel the depth and significance of those three little words: God is love. #Faith #GodIsLove #ThreeLittleWords

The series, titled “Unfooled: Living Wisely for Jesus in a Dangerous World,” aims to extract lessons from the seemingly overlooked characters of the wise men. Jeff encourages viewers to consider the complexity and danger of the world the Magi lived in, drawing parallels to the challenges of the present day. The narrative unfolds with insights into the Magi’s background, their journey, and the symbolic gifts they brought to Jesus.

This series is focusing on the concept of the “fog of war.” We approach the topic with a biblical and historical lens, emphasizing the importance of having a spiritual perspective in times of fear.

This series is called “Ghost Adventures” in which discusses the Holy Spirit. The series aims to explore concepts related to the Holy Spirit, including the baptism and indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

All of us get STUCK from time to time. This CORE study is designed to help each one of us discover some help in moving forward in our lives. If we can learn to use these 4 words… we can keep going no matter how we are feeling!

What we say reflects who we really are. In the way we speak, people can see if we are choosing to live life blessed or are settling for less. Join us in this Core series where we will discover how to bless others at a level we never have before.

The CORE study is entitled – Extra Elephants – Who knew there were this many elephants in one room?

This series is designed to get you thinking about stuff that we need to talk about that on one wants to talk about it.

Our CORE study is takes a look at Florida Man & Woman plus some thinking about something that might be revolutionary and even offensive to some people. Not you of course, but some people. We are going to move past religious chit chat and take a real look at some usually unmentioned thoughts about SIN

This series that expands on our worship series, Genius.

This is a single episode series that expands on our worship series, I Have Attitude.

This Mid-Week Core series @ 434 is a three week look where we look beyond wondering why and instead strive to find the “what” we must learn as we deal with fire

This is designed to be a deeper dive into some of themes of the Celebration Worship series entitled “FIRE”

Get ready to go on the quest for fire

There is nothing more thrilling in life than allowing Jesus to make us crazy dangerous followers…. He did not die for your safety, He died for your sanity…and the only way to find it is to go all in, make it all or nothing, it is now or never…. and your live will suddenly become sane and crazy dangerous….

It is amazing how many times the Bible makes reference to a concept called “walking in the Spirit”
If you think about it, it must be important if the idea shows up over and over again…but how do you do it? What does that look like?
In a supplemental study to our worship series called “Ghost Stories” you are invited to join us for “Ghost Tours”
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is familiar to all of us, so taking a walk with The Holy Ghost or a Ghost Tour is what we are exploring.

In the pages of history, in the early days of the twentieth century, Germany did not look like a country on the brink of world shattering horror. Truth be told, and truth is so important… it looked like America today.
This series “Under God – Over God” takes a look at history and encourages us not to make the mistakes of days gone by but instead following God, Who always has a plan.
The choice is ours, will we as a people choose to live Under God or instead decide that the culture knows better and simply declare we are Over God?
Over the 4 week series we will discover 7 big concepts that we can prayerfully and hopefully engage as we live through this era in history where our faith really counts.

This is the first session of the A Glimpse of Reality CORE study. In this series we look at predictions of the past, about the future, and the realities of life.

This two week series ties into our Back Against the Wall Celebration Worship series. We answer some of your questions about the book of Esther.

One of the most problematic things for people to do is to move from what they know they should do – to – actually doing what they should do.
In other words, how do you get into action? This study challenges us to take each day, decide to seize it, then really live it. We move from being passive to being aggressive, in the best possible way.
It is time to do something – so get started

“How we live each 24 hours gets us ready to move into the next day with momentum, clarity, and passion”

This CORE series serves we look at James 4 and a Godly view of vanishing vapor.

This CORE series serves as the bookend of where we have been.
We as a church have had to look at ways to reimagine ministry in a world of turbulent elections, civil unrest, pandemics, school closures, shutdowns, face coverings, social distancing, and a cancel culture.

Last year we began a very interesting journey in our CORE studies. As we elected new leaders we offered – Is Jesus a Democrat, Independent, or Republican?

Then we followed it up with 3 studies on the End Times…The final session of the end times trilogy was a stand-alone session focusing on America in the End Times….

And that brings us to this study. This serves as the bookend to the set of studies we have done in CORE and builds upon what we have looked at in both our Mid-Week studies and our Celebration Worship studies. This new series is called RIOT

Watercooler conversations have shifted in our culture….
It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do – there in your face is a constant barrage of what is happening in the world around us. It creates fear, angst, concern about the things going on and is born out of a need to be able to get some type of handle on them, trying to understand them, and most importantly trying to figure out how to navigate them.

The questions that emerge – tend to always come back to the big one – “what do I do as a follower of Christ?”
There is no shortage of commentators, opinions, and emotional manipulators that will gripe, groan, grovel, or grimace at the way things are – but again…we keep coming back to what do we do? How do we do it? And how do we know it is the right thing to do?

The church has to be willing to step out, step up, and step into the conversation. Because, let’s be honest about the world we live in. There is always someone willing to drive the narrative, so do you want to be driven or do you want to drive? Get ready for a real, rational, relational, and revolutionary way to navigate the culture in a way that is transformational – RIOT in CORE @ 434.

Join us for the conversation and discussion as we study Revelation, specifically some of the End Times signs

Signs is a deeper dive into some of the specific signs in the book of Revelation that pertain to The Tribulation. These are the topics that so many are interested in but are afraid to explore because they can get confusing. In our own unique style we tackle these in this new series.

It seems that every year when an election cycle rolls around things get a little bit crazy. This year is no exception. However, have you ever pondered how your faith in Jesus collides with your political philosophy? Have you ever thought that how you vote and how you function as a citizen really matters to Jesus? It might matter a lot more than you think it does. So get ready, there is an election just around the corner and we are longing to hear the phrase – “I am Jesus Christ, the One and Only Living God… and I AM endorses this message.”

New CORE series entitled “Behind the Face Covering”
This series allows us to “take off the mask” and make some discoveries that allow us to dig deeper into our current Sunday morning series, “Pandemic Pandemonium”

The world is a tricky place. The news we hear is bad, as a matter of fact, it is downright scary. It sometimes seems like an act of faith to step out of your front door into the world. But it is not until you step out do you discover the real adventure begins. This session, flimed as a part of a ZOOM Mid-Week study helps us take the next step forward in becoming who we are created to be

Blessing and blessing others is important if we are going to be serious about following Jesus. Join us for this audio study as we take a deep dive into a familiar passage of scripture and discover some things that we need to know about blessing.

In this series, we will be adding some additional thoughts to the Celebration Worship series…we explore “What’s coming your way” and discover a principle to help define and refine your God given vision for the upcoming year.

It is that time of year. The holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving and Christmas make this the most wonderful time of the year… but are you ready? This series counts down the moments and magic of the holiday, in the best possible way – by helping us to remember and celebrate what is most important!

It doesn’t take a whole lot of living to realize that life can be tough.
As a matter of fact, life can be frightening at times. There are so many things that are coming at us, so many things we worry about, so many things we are unsure of that we can easily feel overwhelmed and afraid.
It may not be something we talk about much, but in the quiet moments of our lives, those things that frighten us creep out of the closet and keep us awake at night.
How do we handle the tough and scary moments? What do we do? This audio CORE series offers some help and encouragement for those times.

This audio series from 434 Midweek dares us, compels us, and convicts us to look at the odds and the way that God works in our lives and the world around us.

Are you ready to build? Most people want their lives to matter… if you have ever felt that way, then you are like many others. However, the struggle becomes in how to make that happen.

Living a life of something greater and something better
This series invites you to take flight and discover the importance of each moment and leaving nothing undone

(This is a chance to do a deep dive into the topics covered in “The Arrow” series in Celebration Worship or will be an excellent standalone resource of encouragement and motivation for your journey of faith)

It is that time of year… or almost. It seems like it happens earlier each year, but as November arrives we begin to see decorations, lights, the stores, Hallmark Channel, even the music on the radio turns toward Christmas. There is something about our culture that has a need for Christmas. Now, to be honest… many people miss the meaning or don’t know why they are celebrating. But for those who know Jesus, there is no mystery at all, we realize that Christmas comes and gives us a realistic way to look at life.

It does not say – “if we just cheer up we can make the world a better place.” It doesn not suggest that “we can fix things if we try hard enough.” Instead Christmas gives us a poerful reminder that “there is hope.” And that is very good news.

So this series admits, “I need a little Christmas now…” Get ready for the holiday rotation of Mid-Week.

This study is a look at some essentials for each of us in our personal journey of faith. If we are designed by God to touch and change the world (which we are), then it is important to understand how that looks and what it takes to make us successful. In this series, we discover some help in begin successful.

(This audio series is a great way to take the study series – Launch – to a deeper level)

The world we live in can be tough. But there is an incredible force of change that can blow through it… when the power of God’s people – the church, take seriously the call God has given them, then anything can happen. Even a Churchnado! This audio series unpacks some concepts that inspired the Churchnado Celebration Worship event.

Bigfoot, Nessie, and You… what do they have in common? Well, perhaps more than you might think. In our quest to be the best version of ourselves – how do you discover the real you?

Stranger Things has reminded us that we live in a world that is Upside Down. If we are going to turn the Upside Down upside down – which actually makes it right side up again – then we have to understand how to do it. In Acts 17, we discover how to speak into an upside down culture in ways that open the conversation to talking about Jesus. This CORE series, which enhances our Celebration Worship series, called Stranger Things, helps us add depth to how we approach the world around us.

There is a life that we all desire to live. Most have a desire to get it right. But do we know how? This CORE series dares to think about what it means to follow God on His terms, not our terms. Does that matter? Of course it does. However, we have all found that trying to follow God leaves us a bit perplexed at times. The time has come to get moving – the chase is on. Let’s pursue the life that we are created to live, by following the God who created us. This series takes the Celebration Worship series, entitle Lifehacks, to an even deeper level.

It might sound silly but it is very real. We get anxious at times because we get anxious. We tend to realize that we don’t need to let worry consume us but it is not easy – is it?
In this honest, frank, and practical study we explore what Jesus said about worry and what it means to us in our lives.
[This series, on audio, adds depth to the Celebration Worship series: All is C.A.L.M., which is available on this website.]

A two week study that continues to expand on our RUSH series and hearing God speak to us.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find and live in the sweet spot that God created for you to live in? Well, you can… if you choose to. This CORE series is all about how to do that and what that might look like.

It is not as tough as you think. It is more practical than you realize, and you may be just a choice away from really living.

Week 3 is missing due to technical difficulties.

God’s Grace is Bigger & Better than we ever imagined. When we begin to experience it we discover a hope and peace that gives us the freedom to face each moment of our life differently. If all of that is true, and it is… it makes sense that something should be happening in our lives. This Mid-Week study is designed to remind us of how this looks in the very real world we live in.
