Show and tell is about introducing others to something they might not know about otherwise. Unless Christians show and tell, people won’t be introduced to Jesus. If you’ve been uncomfortable, reluctant, or even fearful about having a conversation about your faith this message is for you. Not only will you be encouraged, but you will also get equipped. This message might bring the change that would forever change someone else’s eternity.

Change creates tension. When change is forced on you, the natural response is to resist it, complain about it, or even reject it. But when you are included in the process of change, your willingness for change increases. What is a change that is overdue?  Jesus came to change your life, and He wants every life that is changed by Him to introduce others to the change He offers. Join us for this two-part series and see how God might be inviting you to change for the better.

Student Sunday -- Throw It Off What’s holding you back from getting closer to Jesus? In the Bible, we hear the story of a man who refused to stay stuck in the labels, limitations, and comforts that defined his old life. Before he could step into healing and purpose, he had to throw some things off. Too often, we hold on to the very things that prevent us from real freedom in God. Listen in as Pastor Blake shares how to discover what it means to throw off the old and fully follow Jesus into the life He is calling us to live.

Everyone wants to get the most out of life, but there is a difference between maxing out and maximizing life. One causes us to hit our limits, while the other helps us keep moving forward and thriving. Too often, people end up maxing out instead of maximizing their lives and continuing to hit their stride. You may be surprised to discover that many well-known biblical heroes maxed out at some point along the way to becoming heroes. The good news is that if you’ve maxed out, you can recover, reset, and begin hitting a new stride that leads to maximized living. Invite someone to sit with you as we wrap up the Lighten Up series together.

Financially, are you stressed or living stress-free? Financial stress can come like a thief in the night. There is an incredible amount of financial insights, wisdom, and instruction found in the Bible. If you’re overwhelmed with financial burdens or open to more wisdom in this area, this 4th message in our “Living Lighter” series is a sermon you won’t want to miss. 

Do you tend to overpack for a trip, under pack for it, or do you pack just right? Some travelers are great at packing with the bare essentials. Other packers are great at packing those just-in-case items. Then, there are those who carelessly pack without considering the specifics of their journey. Life shares some similarities in how we pack- some choose to always bring extra baggage that overburdens them, and they’ve been conditioned to believe that baggage is necessary. In this, the 3rd sermon in our “Living Lighter” series, we are going to do some baggage assessment to see if you can lighten up and choose to carry less baggage.

Is your quality of life limited to your feelings? Does your life seem weighed down with worry and stress? When life’s challenges lead to increased anxiety, fears, worries, and isolation, we end up missing out on the quality of life God offers. Listen in to Part 2-Life Without Worries in our “Living Lighter” series, as we discover how to lean into Jesus and live without the constant weight of worry.

Burdens come with two options: carry their weight or cast them off to lighten your load. The burdens we carry come in all forms, shapes, and sizes. Sometimes we become convinced they are ours alone to carry. But not every burden was meant to be carried, and the ones we are meant to carry aren’t always meant to be carried alone. In this first week of our new Series, “Living Lighter,” discover how relying on God can lead you to live lighter so you don’t shoulder the weight alone whatever burden you find yourself carrying.

We've all set out to do something that took more effort and energy than we anticipated. It's those projects that give a sigh of relief when we finally finish. There is no project in our lifetime that compares to what Jesus completed on the cross. The statement He made, "It is finished" brings the hope that humanity needed. Jesus finished paying the price of redemption. He was the ransom payment exchanged for our freedom. We won't finish the series until next week, but you won't want to miss this part before we celebrate Resurrection Sunday next week.
