This message begins a 5-week series from the book of Ruth. In this series we will see how God takes a ruined life and redeems it. The one who is redeemed is to live in reliance on God, experiencing restoration and a renewed identity. In this first message we will see that we may make plans but ultimately God orders our steps. Sometimes what we view as problems are the means that God uses to touch our lives deeply.

When you see injustice, what is your response?  When your faith is trampled on, what do you do?  When God gives you the opportunity to take part in His work, do you have a willing heart?  In the book of Judges, Deborah praises those who don’t sit on the sidelines, but willingly offer themselves to fight for the Lord.

This week we will look at Moses example of overcoming obstacles in his continued faithfulness to God’s call.

 

Through the life of King Josiah in 2 Chronicles 34, we will take a look at how powerful repentance can be in the life of a believer. Whether you've followed Jesus all your life or are just seeing what He’s about, repentance is a key part of the Christian life. Because of that, we’ll be looking at what it means to turn to the Lord and change for His glory.

God calls us to a life of courageous faith in relationship with Him, but our fears often prevent us from living it out. This week we will explore Moses' example of surrendering fully into God’s plan for us as we learn what we need to resist and what we need to remember in order to live out a life of courageous faith. 

 

We are starting our Timeless series looking at stories from the Old Testament. This week we look at Elijah's response to a situation that didn't meet his expectations. When things go wrong how do we respond and trust God even when it feels as though nothing is going right.

 

In this last message in our series, "God's Design for a WELL-LIVED Life" we will look into Jesus' idea of church. Jesus intends for His followers to understand they are part of His church; it is part of our identity and therefore we need to understand what the Church is all about.

In this message we will see that excitement about Jesus becomes a propelling force in the life of the Christ-follower. We've seen over the last couple of weeks that God's people are sent to sow. Excitement—a feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness—often propels this sharing to take place naturally. Excitement in Jesus emboldens and motivates the follower.

 

We are in the midst of our series "God's Design for a Well-Lived Life." In this message we will discover that part of our new identity in Jesus is living and interacting with others in a way that makes Jesus known. That can be intimidating so this message will address that intimidation. The main text will be from "The Parable of the Sower" focusing on what it means to sow and how people respond. You, as a Christ-follower, have been sent to sow.

 

This week we will look at how God’s design for a well-lived life means we are called to live sent on mission with gospel urgency.
