I recently had an opportunity to share my faith with the hostess of our vacation condo, but I chose to play it safe and be a 'good' guest and leave a nice tip. Is that ok? Should we as believers mostly do the good works, or should we use words to share the gospel, or even with urgency be "…snatching them from the flame…" (Jude 1:23)? In our passage, Paul, who is facing execution for sharing the gospel, is challenging timid Timothy to be full of boldness when it comes to talking about Jesus. Join us this weekend as we explore this topic.
What are you living for? What drives you? In our new series, 'Multiply', we find Paul driven by the 'promise of life'! He is facing execution, and yet without slipping into self-pity, he is fully focused on making disciples. No fear. No distraction. Endearing relationships. A clear conscience. Wow. Join us this weekend to be inspired by Paul's example.
What is a church? What does it mean to be a part of one? Is it simply to come and watch service and get something out of it, or is it more than that? Join us this weekend as we discuss Ephesians chapter 4 and learn together how a gathering of Christians is meant to operate.
Before cementing in our new year's resolutions, it's good to remember who we belong to. US Christianity by nature tends to be self-serving. That's normal for any people-group who live in freedom and prosperity. Mark 10 takes us to an interesting scene where Jesus is heading uphill to Jerusalem to be crucified and lay down His life, and James and John ask, "We want you to do whatever we ask." This leads to an amazing teaching that helps us create the framework for all of our resolutions.
Do you ever read through the Bible and get surprised when God's people in the Old Testament betray him? How could they forget all the miracles that God did? When we look at our own lives we find that we operate in the same way. Join us as we discover a tool and encouragement that God has given us to ensure that our hearts stay close to him and we have a faith that lasts.
The Christmas season is a great time to give and receive love. In reality, if we are honest, it can be a bit tense at times. This season can highlight the lack of love around us. The fact that we lack the deep love others are looking for, and others don't seem to fill our tank as we wish they would. (Did you get all the gifts yet?). The solution is for us to look more closely at the love of our Father, to "see" it, and to let it transform us from the inside out. Join us this weekend to explore. Consider inviting a friend.
You've likely experienced or are currently experiencing some deep sorrow or suffering in this life. If God is all good and all-powerful, why do we have to experience sorrow and suffering? Join us as we discuss God's response to the sorrow we experience and His plan for our Joy.
According to the American Psychological Association, "Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure." Notice that it begins with thoughts and feelings and can ultimately lead to physical problems. In our study, Judah was at an all-time high in terms of anxiety. The brutal empire of Assyria was at the gates, threatening to torture and destroy them. Isaiah 9:4-5 speaks of God breaking the "rod of the oppressor." The implications of this statement are far-reaching, especially in light of what comes next in Isaiah 9:6: "…and His name shall be called…Prince of Peace…" Join us as we unpack the implications of Jesus being our Prince of Peace. What should we expect? How does He address the anxiety we feel? And what can be done?
We are not in control. It's a raw feeling, and it leads to fear and despair. The alternative for us, is to trust that this child that is 'given' is our "mighty God." He sees us, and He cares about us! That takes everything that is 'raw', and gives us hope. Join us for the start of Advent, from despair to hope!
