Paul helps us relook at that incredible, but maybe too familiar, picture of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Does it still amaze you that the God who created the universe and knows you to the core, laid down His life for you? Do you know him?

Charlie reminds us that Jesus wept, and pointed us to a God who is compassionate and who values connection and relationship.

Ali helps us consider what Jesus implied when He declared “I am the door” in John 10:7-10

Gillian leads us in considering how Jesus responded to a woman caught in adultery. We saw that she experienced grace “in a lightbulb moment”, which gave her freedom to choose to leave her old life behind and follow Jesus. Jesus then declared that all who follow Him will never walk in darkness because He is the light of the world.

Rachel Scivoli shares with us the story of Jesus feeding the 5000 and her amazement that Jesus will use our seemingly tiny gifts and talents for great things when we offer them to him.

Paul explores the first of Jesus’ powerful and controversial ‘I am’ statements: ‘I am the bread of life’. We are challenged that Jesus didn’t just come to give us bread but to be bread, and that He came to offer us eternal life and to direct our thoughts and hearts toward eternity.

Karen helps us look at the Kindness of Jesus. We are reminded that we serve a God of extravagant kindness who offers us the opportunity to share our lives with Him both now and for eternity.

Josh helps us look at the call and the cost of discipleship with Jesus. He explores the challenging statement that the first disciples “left everything and followed him.” Jesus didn’t simply ask us to believe in Him or like His ideas … but to follow Him. What is Jesus calling you to cast aside so that you can follow Him, more fully, into abundant life?

Paul kicks off our theme for this new season – Jesus. In a world that has been saturated with the Christian message for centuries, have we simultaneously become too familiar with Jesus and lost sight of who He really is? Jesus came full of GRACE and TRUTH and He is calling us into both.

Paul helps us take another look at Joshua 3 and the story of God’s people at the River Jordan to start our journey of consecration. Our desire, as a church family, is to take some time to surrender our lives to God so that we can be ready for the Lord to do amazing things among us.
