Don't tell anyone I told you, but rumor has it there is a message series at Ridgeview called Zip It. I heard they are talking about gossip, how damaging it can be and why we do it.

The Gospel

What is the Gospel? Many people have substituted a fake Gospel for the real thing.
Christmas is all about the Gospel! In this new Christmas message series, you are invited to explore what the Gospel is really all about.

Leaders Who Last

The old maxim is true, "Leadership is influence." Everyone is a leader in some area because of their influence over someone whether it be a parent, a teacher, a coach, a friend, or a supervisor. But how are we leading in the marathon race of life? We have all seen runners running alongside us who have stumbled, burned out, or veered off the track. That may have even happened to you at one time or the other. It is not automatic that a leader finishes well. How do we finish well? Leaders Who Last message series will show you how to finish well based upon God's Word so you may hear from Jesus as you cross the finish line, "Well done, good and faithful servant!"

Radical

Radical. This is about an idea – an idea that we were created for far more than a nice, comfortable Christian spin on the American dream. An idea that we were created to follow One who demands radical risk and promises radical reward. It’s an idea that was first expressed in the simple yet radical words from Jesus to his disciples when he said: Follow me.

So what happens when we follow him like that? What happens when radical obedience to the Jesus of the first century becomes the new normal for us in the twenty-first century? Are you willing to see? That’s what this book is about. And it involves an invitation to join in a Radical Experiment— a journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

What’s God’s Will For Me?

At every stage of our lives, we face potentially life-altering decisions. Large and small, every decision has consequences. But we can take comfort in knowing that God has a plan for our lives. Your thinking, “Good, God has a plan for me-but how can I know it?” Rather than trying to lay out step-by-step plan for discovering God’s will for your life, in this series you will learn that knowing God’s will is really about knowing God, and that anyone who wants to get to know Him, can.

Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled By Jesus

Jesus is unique among all people in history in that he is the fulfillment of centuries of Messianic prophecies, which are found in the Old Testament of the Bible, that foretold his place of birth, details of his life, his mission, his nature, his death, and his resurrection. What do these prophecies mean to us today?

Hostage

The letter to Philemon was one of Paul's prison epistles, which he wrote while being held a prisoner in Rome. The book is about bondage and love, forgiveness and joy. We’re all held hostage by something...what is your captor? Maybe it’s fear, pride, lust, or even jealousy. The good news is that our ransom has been paid in full. Join us for Hostage and discover how to truly break free, once and for all, from the ties that bind.

The Book Of Ruth: What the Book Of Ruth Teaches About Starting Over

As it was for grief-stricken Naomi in the Bible's book of Ruth, there are still times today when every Christian believer may feel abandoned and crushed in spirit. It could be the loss of a loved one, financial ruin, job loss, addictions; anything that steals the joy from life. Finding fullness again takes an encouraging look at the story of Naomi and Ruth to remind you to keep pressing forward - despite the load you carry.
