The global church has moved into a new season where we are being pushed to rethink church and gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This week we continue our Bigger Story series as we explore the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Let's really process how we are loving our neighbors...the people around us in our city.

Jesus was a storyteller that was always trying to lead people to think about His bigger story of redemption, restoration, and hope. This week we begin this journey through the parables captured in the Gospel of Luke with the Parable of the Sower.

We tell others about things we love. We talk about phones, restaurants, vacations, sports, family, and all kinds of things we are passionate about. Why are we so afraid to talk about our faith in Jesus? Join us this week as Dr. Chuck Lawless from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary leads us to see how the grace of God can lead us to fully engage in the mission Jesus gave us.

Text: Luke 22:31-34, 54-62

Jesus gives us a mission and invites us to go and make disciples. If we are going to make disciples we need to lead others toward Him. I know the thought probably makes you nervous. Join us this week as we talk about how we serve and share the message of Jesus with others.

Jesus gave us a clear mission but much of the time it seems like good advice rather than a mission that drives our lives. Maybe it's because we try to carry out the mission in our own strength. Join us this week as we discover how prayer impacts the mission Jesus has given us.

We all have things we want to change in our lives but we seldom slow down long enough to ask why we want the change. What's our motivation? Listen this week as we discover how to finish well by checking our motivation for change in the first place. What drives us will shape how and if we finish well!

We live in a time when we are surrounded by distraction. So often when we are determined to make a change in our lives we are lured off track by distraction. Listen this week as we discover how Nehemiah resisted distraction from his enemies so that he could finish his work.

In all of our lives things can look good on the outside while on the inside we can hide our real struggles and pain. Join us this week as we explore how Nehemiah dealt with spiritual corruption in Jeruselum and how we can find health.

If you make any step of change that honors God you will face opposition. It's a guarantee. Join us this week as we discover how Nehemiah dealt with opposition and how we can put that into practice today.

Everything changes when we actually verbalize publicly what God is stirring in our hearts. We open ourselves to feedback and criticism. Join us this week as we see how Nehemiah went public with his vision and what we can discover from his intentional efforts to protect the vision.
