Faith and Work
Since the fall in the Garden of Eden, our work has been afflicted by sin. There seems to be no lack of challenges in our work, and as believers we often struggle to integrate our faith into our everyday lives. What culture defines as "success" is very different from how we see Jesus carry out His life, work, and ministry on earth. We sit down with Wheaton Bible Church elder Adam Mitchell, church member and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Charity Lane , and Pastor of Community Life, Mark Irvin, to discuss these ideas and to learn how to ground ourselves in the work Jesus has already accomplished.

The Many Names of the King
Did you know that there are more than 100 names used to refer to Jesus throughout the New Testament, each one serving as a title for Him? We'll examine just a few of those names and the significance behind what each means for the person and character of Jesus. While we don't want to reduce Jesus's character to the names and titles used for him, they provide a significant foundation from which to better understand the character of Jesus as we see Him fulfill and carry out His mission throughout the Gospels.

The Power of Words
Like a tree bearing fruit reflects the health of the tree, humanity bears fruit in accordance with what resides in our heart. Our words are an expression of who we are and what we believe. If we hold bitterness in our hearts, our words reflect bitterness. If we hold joy in our hearts, our words reflect joy. God’s words are greater than our words but, our words still hold a power that we often let go unbridled. In this video writer Catherine McNeil, shares her experience and relationship with words and the potency of our speech.

Invitation to Intimacy with God - Seek
Since the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, prayer has allowed us a doorway into closeness with the Father. As we walk through and meditate on the teachings of Jesus in the gospels, what can we learn about this gift of prayer? When we take a closer look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7-8, we see a brief but important lesson in approaching our prayer with intensity, passion and persistence. We are called to ask, to seek, and to knock. In this video, we sit down with Carlos Ludeña, our Iglesia del Pueblo Associate Pastor, to explore the second part of Jesus's teachings on prayer "Seek and you will find."
