Text: Acts 2:42-47 In a time when so many people are experiencing such profound divisions, loneliness, and isolation, God’s gift of community is needed more than ever.  The story of the early church paints a compelling picture of what “doing life” together can look like and reinforces the need for a deeper experience of community that is so elusive today as social media gives a false sense of community in many ways.

Text: John 21:15-17 Forgiveness is hard. But Christians have the best role model imaginable in the person of Jesus. What's the point of forgiveness if it doesn't happen authentically enough for relationships to grow and thrive from that point forward? Peter learns that forgiveness from Jesus comes with a bonus: a reinstated measure of trust that helps to heal the relationship. What does this mean for us as people who need to both give and receive forgiveness?

Text: Ephesians 4:1-3 Being a difference maker on this earth starts with the acknowledgement that God has called and gifted us all uniquely to play an important role in the kingdom of God.  What does it mean for us to live a life worthy of the calling that we have received from God?

Text: Hebrews 4:12-13 The Bible is used in many different ways.  In some countries it has been banned, in some places it has been weaponized or politicized, but there is one thing that it cannot be: ignored.  For those who dismiss it as outdated and outmoded, the author of Hebrews reminds us that “the word of God is living and active… sharper than any two-edged sword.”  How does the Bible continue to speak to us in ways that are so relevant that they shape our very identity?

Text: Luke 9:18-21 We have explored many aspects of the person of Jesus Christ.  The last may be the most important: “But what about you?” Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?”  We examine how our faith, personal but not private, informs our Christian identity and shapes who we are as followers of Jesus.

Text: Luke 18:15-17 When the disciples tried to stop people from bringing their children to Jesus, Jesus responded with these words: “let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them…”  When we see the truth that all people are God’s children, what can we do to foster relationship with them and how do we bring them to the Savior in meaningful ways?  What does Jesus mean when he says we are to receive the kingdom of God like a little child?

Text: Matthew 4:12-17 In times of great turbulent change, we need the comfort of the Gospel more than ever.  We have seen great darkness in recent times but we focus the eyes of our hearts on this good news: “on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”  Jesus teaches us to live out the greatest commandment by his example and he is there to catch us when we fall.  Can we ever “fall from grace” if grace is always there to catch us?

Text: Matthew 5:1-20 Now more than ever, the world is in need of seeing our human condition through the lens of faith.  Jesus taught us, through the beatitudes, not only how deeply blessed we are but what God is continuing to bring about in this world as we walk with him day by day.  In Jesus’ incredible sermon on the mount, the world is turned not upside-down but “right side-up” as we learn to view all things through the lens of faith.

Text: Matthew 6:19-34

Jesus knows our needs, our fears, and our worries.  But more importantly, he points us to the gift of faith as the antidote to all of our anxieties.  Jesus, who knows our hearts, points us to God’s faithfulness to each of us and backs up his promises with his eternal presence and care.
