Cheater. Struggler. Stumbler. Fighter. Struggler. Limper. That’s Jacob, son of Isaac, father of tribes, patriarch. If you’re looking for a hero, you could find someone with a better resume than Jacob. But if you’re looking for someone to identify with, Jacob might fit the bill. His life reminds us: God uses flawed people. But God doesn’t abandon us to our flawed condition; he will shape us in order to use us for good. And that is good news.

What if Oak Hills Church decided to close its doors tomorrow? Would our community ask us to reconsider? Would they even notice? For far too long the Church has been known for what we’re against. It’s time to be known for what we are for.

The day before Jesus died, he gave one more command to his followers: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35 NIV)

Cleaning house is probably not your idea of the perfect day. The problem is, if we don’t clean, we quickly find ourselves in a big mess. Like our homes, cars, and offices our hearts and minds tend to accumulate junk that isn’t necessarily helpful or good. We can’t grow closer to God and become more like Jesus when our hearts are cluttered and dirty. To reclaim freedom, we need to critically examine the condition of our soul and get rid of the habits and attitudes that weigh us down and rob us of the love, joy, and peace God intends for his children. We do this by inviting Jesus to clean house, to search our hearts and minds, and do what only he can: get rid of the junk and reclaim freedom.

Though each of us is sin-ridden and lost, God provides a way back to righteousness. God doesn’t condone our sin, nor does he compromise his standard. He doesn’t ignore our rebellion, nor does he relax his demands. Rather than dismiss our sin, he assumes our sin and, incredibly, sentences himself. God’s holiness is honored. Our sin is punished. And we are redeemed. This is God’s great grace. God is still God. Join us in this seven-week study through the Book of Romans as we ponder the incomparable, indescribable achievement of God that reaches every human soul.

God’s family is like a “lost and found.” A collection box for items that have fallen out of ownership: lost and hopefully found. When an item is separated from its possessor, it is placed in a container, a bin, a basket or on a shelf, until it can be reclaimed.

Taking his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity, Timothy Keller uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Within that parable, Jesus reveals God’s prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
