"I Love My Church", Part 3 of 5 - "I Love Serving"

Is having the ability to fly what makes Superman a hero? Technically, no, having the ability alone doesn’t make him a superhero. What makes Superman a superhero is that he has the abilities he has, and that he uses them to protect Metropolis. Scripture tells us throughout that, as a follower of Jesus, God has given us super powers through the Holy Spirit. What would it look like to use those super powers in our community, and what prevents us from doing that? Join us as we unpack this and more in our latest series, “I Love My Church.”

"I Love My Church", Part 2 of 5 - "I Love My Community"

Loving your church means intentionally loving beyond your building and your programming, but loving the people, loving as a community. So what gets in the way of those relationships? What can we do to remove barriers between us and encourage others to love and good works? Join us as we unpack this and more in our latest series, “I Love My Church.”

Included in this episode is a beautiful prose written and spoken by Sue Reece at the Awakening service on Sunday, September 20, 2015. Enjoy!

“I Love My Church”, Part 1 of 5 – “I Love My Church”

If people were writing Yelp reviews on our church, what would they say? Would they sound like visits to the DMV or the doctor’s office? Would it sound like a place people “have” to go to, or would there be more than that? What was and is God’s intent for this community of believers? Join us as we unpack this and more in our latest series, “I Love My Church.”

Special guest speaker Gracia Burnham joins us during our Sunday School hour and shares the story of her and her husband, Martin, and the struggles they faced while being held hostage in the Philippines, keeping their faith when tragedy struck. Garcia continues to speak for churches, conferences, and schools, and if you ask Gracia about life these days, she will say that "the Lord's mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness."

“Intersections of Life”, Part 2 of 3 – “(Re)Born To Be Wild)”

What do we do when it seems like life isn’t what we thought it would be? Where do we turn when we say “wasn’t I made for more than this?” And how do we, as followers of Christ, live the life we’re called to compared to the life we were delivered from? Join us as we unpack this and more.
