What comes to your mind when you hear the word canceled? Maybe you think about it in relation to stopping or disconnecting a subscription or a service. This term is also used to describe people we no longer want to associate with. If someone does or says something we don’t like or agree with, we simply cancel them from our lives. We disassociate from them. We let go. In many ways, we say that the person no longer offers value to us and our lives. We live in cancel culture.

In this series called "Canceled," we will talk about what it means as Christians to live in a cancel culture and explore whether cancel culture is Biblical. We will wrestle with loving people who are difficult to love in our lives.

1 Samuel 18-19, Proverbs 14:30

Next Steps:

• Instead of unfriending someone you disagree with, let their posts in your feed remind you to pray for them. When you pray for them, don’t just pray that God will change their mind. Ask God how He sees them. Ask God to help you love them like He loves them. Ask God to cancel your anger so you don’t need to cancel a relationship.

• Who’s your woman at the well? Have a conversation with someone you might be tempted to cancel out, listen and understand more than you talk.

• Look for God in your simple tasks this week, washing the dishes, while doing laundry, while taking your garbage cans out.

If someone or something is thriving, that means it is doing well. To thrive is to grow vigorously. Plants can thrive, businesses can thrive, people can thrive; and when they are thriving, great things are happening.

Now thrive may be the last word you are thinking about as we begin 2021. Many people are just thinking about surviving, trying to get by, living one day at time. But what if God called us to more? What if He wants you to thrive spiritually, thrive in the chaos, thrive at work and in school, thrive by giving up control?

What if we made it a goal in 2021 to thrive? I believe great things will happen in our lives, in our city, and in our faith community when we thrive.

This week we talk about how we can thrive at school.

Next Steps:

• Identify an area of your life where you need to increase your wisdom. Ask God to help you become more wise in this aspect of your life. Look for someone to mentor you in this area and commit to not just gain information, but to pursue wisdom.

• Find a creative way to thank someone who has modeled wisdom for you or been a mentor for you.

• Be intentional about having meaningful conversations with your friends and family this week.

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

• What is an area you feel like God is pruning you right now?

Luke 2:25-38

Simeon, Anna

As we prepare for the Christmas season, join us for our new series called When God, in which we will do a deep dive into the Christmas story and see that God actively participates not only in the birth of Christ but also in our lives today. In this sermon we look at the examples of Simeon and Anna, and consider what to do when God makes us wait.

Next Steps:

• What do you think God might be teaching you in your season of waiting?

• What are some healthy habits you can develop while you are waiting?

• Identify circumstances that make you impatient.

• Practice patience by standing in the longest line at the store or waiting a few extra minutes before drinking the milkshake.
