As we conclude our short series on this year's theme of service, we move from the theological foundations for why we serve and into the practical ways we can serve. This may no be the best listening, but in person it was a great to fill out cards related to our talents and available time so we could determine some of the resources available at Contact. We also took time to write notes of encouragement to people who were not at Contact this week.  -- Jonathan Stein - October 17, 2021

As we keep our attention pn this year's theme of service, we take a look at five passages reflecting our call to be servants. Just like our Master, Jesus, we must SERVE (S.how Up, E.nd of the Line, R.ansom for Many, V.ariety of Gifts, and E.ternal Significance).  -- Jonathan Stein - October 10, 2021

Finally turning our attention to this year's theme promised the first Sunday of January, we start a three week exploration of service as a core value in Kingdom life. In the first week, we take a look at how Jesus identified as a servant and prioritized doing for others as a central part of his ministry.  -- Jonathan Stein - October 3, 2021

Jesus tells a story about a farmer who had a lot and decided he needed more, leading to God taking away everything the man had, including his life. As Ron shares this story, he calls us to a life lived for God and others instead of ourselves. -- Ron Babbit - September 26, 2021

As Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount, we are here to be salt and light in the world. Ron explores what that means and offers a few stories and points to help us grapple with how we interact with the world. Then he concludes with a passage from 1 Peter that challenges us to live as Jesus commanded us. -- Ron Babbit - September 19, 2021

Today Ron continues sharing with us from Ephesians 1, this time focused on getting serious about prayer! We talk about the way Paul kept praying for the Ephesian church, and how we can follow his example and experience the power of God through prayer. -- Ron Babbit - September 12, 2021

Today Ron shares a message with us from Ephesians 1, a passage filled with incredible reasons to praise God! We talk about adoption, grace, and the great blessings we have in Christ Jesus. -- Ron Babbit - September 5, 2021

This month, Dave Winn joins us from Jenks Church to bring us four great lessons! Baptism is a really big deal, and in Dave's final lesson this month, he shares four great points to get us excited about making the choice to follow Jesus through baptism. We look at Jesus' baptism in Matthew 3 and the call to spread the Good News to other in Matthew 28. If you want to be baptized, don't wait! Email me at [email protected] and I will help you take the next step to be baptized!!! -- Dave Winn - August 29, 2021

This month, Dave Winn joins us from Jenks Church to bring us four great lessons! Sometimes, we find ourselves drifting away from Jesus. Little choices here and there suddenly reveal a huge separation from who we are to who God calls us to be. Dave looks at the writings of Paul in Philippians 3 and the story of King Mannaseh in 2 Chronicles 33 to share how we might drift, but can still make a comeback through Jesus! -- Dave Winn - August 22, 2021

This month, Dave Winn joins us from Jenks Church to bring us four great lessons! 1 Peter 3 teaches us to always be ready to give an answer for the hope we have in Christ. In this lesson, Dave walks us through a very practical way to share what Jesus has done for us with everyone around us so we can follow the Great Commission and be part of winning others to Jesus. As Dave says, "Winning is better than not winning!" -- Dave Winn - August 15, 2021
