When our attention drifts, we refocus ourselves on what we expect to come next. But when it comes to the mission we have from Jesus, when our attention drifts, we depend on each other to refocus us on what Jesus called us to do! We're pressing onward in Acts 1:6-11 this Sunday.

Jesus' work in this world is far from over! The mission of Jesus continues––but many people don’t know that He meant for it to keep going in us. Others are trying to carry it on in our own strength. But Jesus wants us to carry on His mission––in the power that God the Father promises us. We're looking forward to jumping into Acts 1:1-5 with you in our new series, How the Church Got Started!

In our worry about the future or ambition for it, we often focus, not on worthless things, but things that are worth less. To plan well for the future, however old we are, we've got to set a higher value on what lasts for eternity. Let's look at how we can apply 1 Corinthians 13:8–14:1 to our lives together.

How can so many people be so different at defining something so important as LOVE? In the end, the Author of life is the Author of love. He calls us to surrender our definitions and expectations about love so that we can accept His. We're looking forward to digging into 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 together!

Our next short series of messages in 1 Corinthians 13 anchors us in the essential need for love in the Christian life. Have you noticed when church people get caught up in religious “stuff,” we often veer away from the Spirit-filled, Jesus-following lives God wants us to live? Let's break the idea that anything we do as a church (and anywhere else in life, for that matter), matters one bit without living by love.

What do you do when ongoing struggles make you doubt whether you want to press on in following Jesus? Remember that endurance you had when you first came to Jesus–remember it, reclaim it, and press on in it! We're excited for you to join us for our last message in Hebrews (10:32-39)!

Wanna know what breaks a Christian mother's heart? When those they love walk away from Jesus: whether it's to please other people around them, to avoid hardship, or deliberately rejecting Him to follow another way. We're moving forward in Hebrews 10:26-31 this Sunday, from the right response to all God planned for us to the danger of rejecting His plan to save us. Don’t keep anyone––including moms––worrying about your eternal destiny! We have got to accept God’s plan! That's the big picture this Sunday morning.

Time to put it all together! We've been watching how God set up the who, how, where, what, and when of our salvation -- and this week, it's all coming together in how we live. Pastor Reist is preaching Hebrews 10:19-25 … and you know that part in Hebrews about "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together"? That's what he's preaching!

We're pressing on in Hebrews together this Sunday, especially thinking about how many people have abandoned religion out of frustration, too tired of keep trying to make up for their sins to God on their own. But Jesus broke that frustrating cycle that we could never get ourselves out of to finally, fully, truly take away our sin! We hope you'll join us for a once-for-all message of hope in Jesus from Hebrews 9:23–10:18!
