Gratitude is becoming a rare commodity. We sometimes view such thanklessness as simply being rude, but the scriptures seem to indicate that it often rises to the level of sin. How much more so when our interactions with God lack gratitude? This week we’ll gather to focus on making certain that prayers of gratitude are a regular part of our daily regimen.

We know that the scriptures have us frequently in prayer, but have you noticed how often those prayers happen in groups? Why might God want us to pray collectively? Join us this week as we discuss the Biblical imperative to pray together.

When we think prayer, we generally understand it as “asking God for something”.  And when we ask God for things we generally assume the answer is “nope”.  Why is this?  Could it be that we’re doing it wrong?  Join us this week as we consider what it means to intercede in prayer.

When the majority of a culture including media and governmental institutions are all bent on speaking falsehood and mandating that everyone else join in; how is a Christian to respond?  Join us as we conclude our series on Christianity and politics by discussing the Christian’s responsibility to “spurn lies”

What is a government supposed to do?  Seems like a pretty basic question, right?  According to God’s description, the prime directive of a government is to institute justice (By justice we mean giving people what they deserve…  but what do people deserve?)  Join us as we discuss “Prioritizing Genuine Justice.”

What is a human life worth?  It’s a big question that has tremendous implications in terms of how a government creates policies.  Does God’s existence change how we would answer that question?  Join us this week as we discuss prioritizing and valuing life.

When it comes to how humans communicate what should be the most important governing principle?  Should it be kindness?  Should it be inoffensiveness?  Perhaps adhering to cultural and governmentally mandated norms?  Or should a Disciples of Jesus Christ be willing to toss all of that stuff in favor of truth?  Join us this week as we again talk God and politics by discussing Freedom of Speech.

Scripture presents us with an uncomfortable reality – On the one hand, God hates evil. On the other hand, God uses evil people in wicked governments to accomplish His purposes. Government is His servant, God’s chosen instrument. This week we embark upon a series on faith and politics, pondering the call to be citizens of heaven while also being citizens of the U.S.

Hosea paints a bleak picture of what happens to humans who defy and rebel against God.  It is history and it is warning, but it is also a map to restoration.  Hidden in the thick of the prophecy of Hosea is a forecast of redemption and a description of How God will ultimately ransom a rebellious people.  This week we close out this series by looking at Hosea 11-14 and discussing God’s prophetic plan to redeem His peo

What is the purpose of punishment?  Humans certainly have their reasons, but when God punishes a nation what is the purpose?  In Hosea chapters 8-10 we’ll read about the punishments that God is going to inflict on the Northern Kingdom and our goal this week is to consider what God’s intends to accomplish.
