(Nehemiah 9:6-17 & Matthew 17:1-2) We want to do good for our community, but how do we really make that happen? Valentines and a journey to hell can point to an unexpected truth - the way forward is not in changing the community! (Rebuilding Us, Rebuilding Our Community 3/3).

(Nehemiah 4:1-15 & 1 Corinthians 2:1-5) Lives can change pretty dramatically when someone with confidence offers us a hand. Nehemiah did that for Israel, and we can do that for each other (Rebuilding Us, Rebuilding Our Community 2/3).

(Nehemiah 1:2-10, 2:1-5 & Micah 6:6-8) Sometimes we fail, and fail hard! We are not alone. Even Nehemiah in the Bible knew that feeling, but what he did next is an example for us all (Rebuilding Us, Rebuilding Our Community 1/3).

(Joshua 4:1-8, 19-24 & 1 Peter 2:5-6) Generational differences seem like they are everywhere, but are they really all their cracked up to be? Finding a deeper connection helps us to be there for one another, even if we don't see everything the same (for Generations, 4/4).

(Romans 11:33-12:8 & Psalm 95:6-7) Our commitments in the new year are about more than our body. The same is true when it comes to worship. We don't just put on a show for God - we give everything (For Generations 3/4).

(Matthew 3:11-17 & Acts 4:32-37) Sometimes good health and more money feels like thriving, but underneath it is something far more important. Jesus and the early church points to a feature that matters even more than health and wealth (For Generations 2/4).

(Romans 12:9-21& Matthew 7:12) We might know what is genuinely evil, but sometimes we get it wrong when it comes to evaluating people. Hear about an ancient argument that points the way to real good (For Generations, 1/4).

(Luke 1:26-38) The Second Annual Grace United Methodist Church Sunday School Christmas Play, 'Do Not Be Afraid.'

(Mark 12:28-34 & John 1:10-14) What's home when you move to a new place, or lose something you love? Holy Disruption can help us find true joy even when our home is taken from us (Holy Disruption 3/3).

(Mark 9:38-50 & Isaiah 9:6-7) Conflict never seems to end! Whether its with friends and family or biggest global conflicts, we can't seem to go a day without it. The way to peace, though, is not just avoiding conflict. Jesus points the way to real peace this Christmas (Holy Disruption 2/4).
