Lent is the season of preparation. During this time, we prepare our lives and our hearts for the observation of Christ's death and the celebration of the new life that is found in His resurrection. Last week we prepared for this new life as we talked about being born again, not back again to our old ways. This week, we prepare our lives for worship as we look at Christ's interaction with the women at the well.

This week we will continue our series "Learning to Follow Jesus”. Together we will unpack the dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus in Saint John 3: 1-17 focusing in on Jesus dialogue about the New Birth. We will shine the sermonic spotlight on verses 1-7 as Jesus shares with a inquisitive Nicodemus the importance of being born again. After having established what the New Birth is or what genuinely being born again is we will contrast and compare the difference between being "Born Again and Back Again”. It is a sad indictment in our churches that there are many individuals who are not "Born Again” but "Back Again”. Come this Sunday let us assemble ourselves together to engage in meaningful sermonic dialogue because real preaching is not a monologue but a dialogue between the pulpit and the pew.

This week, we continue our series called "Follow," where we are learning to follow Jesus. This week, we discuss Matthew 6: 5-13 and will learn to pray the way Jesus prayed.

This week, we will take a look at some things that made Jesus say, "Are you kidding me!?" Jesus and the Disciples were incredulous at things that were happening but their focuses were different. Find out what each thought and how it applies to followers of Jesus.

This week, as we look at the way Jesus walked with Peter in the storm, we will discuss the storms of life and examine how this should effect the way we follow Jesus.

This week, we will examine this vignette from the life of Christ to see how we are to be the fuel in the Kingdom of God. We will also see how God wants us to be flavorful and illuminating in this tasteless and darkened world.

This week, as we look at the way Jesus walked with Peter in the storm, we will discuss the storms of life and examine how this should effect the way we follow Jesus.

This week, we continue the new series called "Follow," where we will continue to learn what it means to really follow Jesus. This week, we will continue discussing Christ's invitation for disciples to follow Him as we continue reading John 1:35-51 and exploring the phrase "Come and see." Below are the sermon-based growth group questions for this week.

Pastor Dave McBeath uses the exploration of the term "Come and see" to show us how a true disciple follows Jesus. Pastor Dave extends Jesus' invitation to follow Him and to see Jesus for who He really is.

This week we will examine the baptism of Jesus according to the accounts of the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). We not only want to highlight the transition of John’s ministry to Jesus’ ministry; but we also want to see the theological ramifications that this particular texts proposes and the practical application that this text leaves with us as a charge to our Christian service. I assure you we will never look at the baptism of Jesus the same.
