Matthew 13:33
When you add leaven to bread dough it quickly permeates and puffs it up. What is leaven? What does it represent in the Bible? Leaven has something to do with the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:33). What could this mean for us? This weekend we catch the full meaning of leaven in the Scriptures and understand more of God’s heart for us. “He who has ears let him hear.” (Matthew 13:9).

Matthew 13:31-32
Mustard Seed
This short parable has much to say about another hidden flaw trying to infiltrate the Kingdom of God- human pride. Whether the small size of a mustard seed (our faith), or the large size of a mustard weed (small tree), trying to be something we are not is not a part of the Kingdom of God.

Is the world getting better or worse?
Sometimes I can’t believe my ears when I hear about the holocaust, or the crusades or how barbaric cultures have treated people in the past. Have we evolved and learned from the past?
In this next story about the Kingdom of God, Jesus helps the listener to understand that things are getting better and worse. We will learn more about our context on earth and how to be ready for what is coming.

What can be expected when heaven comes to earth? Our first story uncovers four types of human hearts in response to the Kingdom of God. We are told, “Whoever has ears, let him hear.” (Matt. 13:9). Are we teachable? What is at stake? What can we learn about the condition of our own hearts in response to God’s Kingdom?

Seven years ago, August 2010, a single block of rock, weighing 770,000 tons, broke loose from within a Copper mine in Chile, trapping 33 miners in the longest underground entrapment in history. What saved their lives was a 4.5-inch diameter ‘lifeline’ to the world above. This weekend we discuss our ‘lifeline’, referring to our access to God by the Holy Spirit a.k.a. illumination! How do I gain access? What does it look like when I come to God through the Scriptures?

Guest Preacher, Brian Moore

What motivates you to do the things you do? Are you aware of the deeper desires that influence your thoughts and decisions?
Pastor Bobby has often reminded us that we have more of a purpose in life than to just dig ditches, to make money, to buy food, to have strength to dig ditches, to make money…
But sometimes we lose track, get caught up in that cycle and don’t realize why we seem to be running in circles and making little to no difference.
This weekend we will be looking further into our Advance initiative of cultivating a Missional Mindset. We will explore Jesus’ words about our thirsts and what will happen when our thirsts are truly satisfied. Join us with expectancy and ask God to reveal and renew his purpose in your life.

Some scars run deep! People hurt each other all the time. We wrestle with questions like, “Do I harbor resentment? Will that poison me in time?” “What does genuine forgiveness require of me?” Some will say, “I’ve forgiven him, I just never want to see him again.” This weekend we will take a closer look at how we relate to people when it comes to forgiveness and reconciliation. Let’s ask God to help us understand where we are and what will help us stay healthy and joyful.

Where was God on the night that tragedy struck? If God is all loving and all-powerful, then why did He not intervene? Some might even say this proves that He does not exist! Could it be that we presume that the path of life is best without suffering? Could our perspective be limited? Could the suffering we see around us only be a portion of a larger context? If God exists, then what is His perspective?

July 29 & 30, 2017 Weekend Services | Lead Pastor, Bobby Parschauer

Have you ever wondered how we got the Holy Scriptures? If it’s just a collection of human stories, then why would we trust it as an authority on how to know God and be assured of eternal life? Did God intend for us to have His Word? If we only have parts of it, then is God weak, and furthermore, then how can we tell what is God’s Word and what is not? The way we answer these questions has major implications.
