God’s mercy stops the consequences we deserve Part 2
We suffer because of sin and we sin to relieve our suffering. It’s an unhealthy cycle that has disastrous consequences. And today on "Discover the Word," we, along with our special guest Robert Gelinas, discuss how only God’s mercy can stop the full domino effect that would take place if we all suffered the consequences of what we deserve. Don’t miss part two of a series on “The Mercy Prayer.”
How do we balance a merciful and just God? Part 1
Did you know that the most common prayer in the Bible is a prayer asking God for mercy? So how do we balance a God who has a reputation for being merciful, who also is a God who loves justice? Today on "Discover the Word," we welcome our special guest, pastor and author Robert Gelinas to the table to begin a two-week study called, “Mercy Prayer.” Join the group today on "Discover the Word"!
The depth of the love of God Part 5
Today on "Discover the Word," we will talk about the depth of the love of God. Only special creatures can tolerate the deepest part of the ocean. But, the depth of God’s love? We can all revel in the fact that we’re loved that much! “The 4-D Love of God” . . . finish that discussion with the group today on "Discover the Word"!
The 4 dimensional love of God Part 4
What did the apostle Paul mean when he said that he prayed we would grasp the “height” of God’s love? Today on "Discover the Word," we dig further into Paul’s profound description of the 4 dimensional—“The 4-D love of God.” Are you afraid of heights? Well, you won’t be in this conversation today on "Discover the Word"!
Let’s take the long view of God’s love Part 3
When people say, “Take the long view,” it means getting a sense of perspective about the present by also considering both the past and the future. Well, today on "Discover the Word," we'll discuss how there are several different ways to look at the phrase “the length of God’s love.” Be part of the discussion as we “take the long view” of God’s love, today on "Discover the Word"!
How wide is God’s love for us? Part 2
What do you think of when you hear the term, “wide open spaces”? Does it give you a feeling of freedom? Today on "Discover the Word," we will discuss what the apostle Paul meant when he talked about how wide God’s love for us is. How is it possible that God’s love is wide enough to embrace the whole world?
Understanding how much God loves you Part 1
How much does God love you? Today on "Discover the Word," we begin our study on “The 4D Love of God.” Interestingly, when the apostle Paul described “the height, the depth, the width and the length” of God’s love for us, he himself was under house arrest. How can understanding Paul’s circumstances change our own perspective about how much we’re loved by God? Join the group today on "Discover the Word"!

Exploring a well-known psalm Part 5
Today, we'll pose the question, “How could David go from praising His Creator to asking God to kill those who hated Him?” What tripped David’s switch? Was this a sentiment that God shared or was there another reason why it might be included in Psalm 139? Explore a confusing shift in a part of this well-known psalm we often ignore.
God has planned our days Part 4
Does God make mistakes? In times of crisis and confusion it’s easy to doubt, because it’s hard for us to see the big picture. Today on "Discover the Word," we discuss how God has planned our days in a way that goes beyond time and space, so that even our mistakes can be turned around for His redemptive purposes. Join the discussion today on "Discover the Word"!
“Fearfully and wonderfully made”
Psalm 139 isn’t just an account of how David’s heart had been searched by God, it also invites God to continue searching. And the deeper God searched, the more David developed a sense of awe and wonder that he was “fearfully and wonderfully made.” And so are we.

Search me and know me Part 1
King David messed up royally, yet he was not afraid to have his heart searched by God. Today on "Discover the Word," we begin the discussion called “Search Me.” For some, the words, “You have searched me and known me” in Psalm 139 produce fear and foreboding, making them want to hide. For others it brings comfort. But why the disparity?
