Title: Pruning’s Purpose

Scripture: John 15: 1-8

Description: Jesus is clear that as His apprentices, our lives must produce fruit. What is this fruit Jesus speaks of, and how does pruning fit into the equation?

Title: Response Reveals

Scripture: John 10

Description: We call Jesus our shepherd, but in order for His shepherding to be effective, the sheep (that’s us) have to follow His lead.

Title: What Do I Really Want?

Scripture: John 5: 1-15

Description: Do we really want what Jesus offers, or do we only want parts of it? Dp we want it under certain conditions? Following Jesus, and receiving what He offers in full, requires more than calling Him our Savior. We must also treat Him as Lord.

Title: Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!

Scripture: John 1: 43-51

Description: It would have been enough for Jesus to save us from our sins, but Jesus has so much more in mind: Not just in eternity, but in our lives here on earth.

Title: Clutch Faith

Scripture: 1 Peter 3

Description: “Giving a reason” is less about developing a full-blown theological response, and more about living a life that reflects His work in you (especially when it’s hard), and actively pointing toward Jesus as the reason.

Title: Global Partners Update

Description: Scott Soden is the Director of Global Partners & Advancement for the Brethren Church. Come and see what God is doing with Brethren throughout the world!

Title: Rekindled

Scripture: 2 Tim 1: 5-12, Rev 2:1-5

Description: The beginning of a new relationship is ablaze with joy, passion, and gratitude. Over time, without effort, that flame can fade. The same is true for our relationship with God. That, though, is a relationship we can never allow to become anything less than ablaze.

Title: True Treasure

Scripture: 1 Tim 6: 17-19, Mat 6: 19-24

Description: Who or what do we trust for our daily life and hope? Timothy reminds us that the blessings God has given us are not the real gift. His presence is.

Title: A Price Paid

Scripture: Heb 9

Description: Sin has a cost, and so does it's redemption. Jesus, though, has paid it for us. When he returns, Jesus will bring the inheritance he bought for us with his blood.

Title: Sabbath Rest

Scripture: Heb 4:6-11, Mat 11:28-30

Description: Even before the Lord made a covenant with his people, he called for all to include sabbath in their life rhythm. We have largely left that behind in our lives. What is “sabbath”, and what has leaving it behind cost us?
