Week 41 - But God Knows
Text - Matthew 3:17; Luke 3:22, 4:14-30
Keywords - baptism, new life, old life, expectations
Big Idea of the Message - Coming to Jesus changes everything. Change in Christ may not always be visible to others (especially those we’ve known the longest), but it is real and transformative. We have to trust the work God is doing in us - and who HE says we are.

Week 40 - Which Gospel?
Text - John 3:16-17; Romans 10:9; 1 Cor 3:2-3; Luke 4:18-19,5:31-32; Ephesians 4:14; Matthew 23:27-28
Keywords - false gospel, consumerism, incomplete gospel, made for more,
Big Idea of the Message - We are saved through faith in the identity and work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. What an AMAZING thing that is!!! This stands as the cornerstone of the Gospel, but saving faith isn’t meant to be the end. It’s meant to be the beginning of a new life intent on learning to live as Jesus lived. Is that the Gospel you know, or have you settled for less?

Doug Boggs is the Incarceration Outreach Program Director, CPRS at Recovery Zone of Logan County, and a passionate follower of Jesus Christ. Today, Doug challenges us to "gospel" our lives - because the world is filled with lost souls that God desires to save.

Week 37 - More Than You Think
Text - Joel 2:12-13, 28-32

Week 36 - Seriously, It’s Good News
Text - Ezekiel 34-36
Keywords - Gospel, Ezekiel, Restoration, Peoplehood
Big Idea of the Message - The Lord is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. From the time of the fall, He has called an undeserving people back to Himself - and has cleared the path for their return.

Week 35 - No Remnant?
Text - Jeremiah 44:7-10
Keywords - legacy, remnant, decisions, impact
Big Idea of the Message - The question isn’t whether the Lord is calling, it’s whether or not His people are listening. As today’s text shows clearly, there is a generational cost to ignoring Him.

Week 34 - Stubborn Clay
Text - Jeremiah 18:1-12
Keywords - potter, clay, malleable, stubbornness, God’s image
Big Idea of the Message - In the hands of a skilled artisan, incredible things can be made out of common items like clay. In the hands of the Lord, incredible things can be done with us too. Unlike clay, though, we have a mind of our own - and that can be a problem.

Week 33 - Dirty Shorts
Text - Jeremiah 13:1-11
Big Idea of the Message - Jeremiah’s ministry & message was marked by symbolic actions - often lived out by Jeremiah himself at the command of the Lord. Guest speaker Drew Meziere brings the meaning of one of those to life, and challenges us to check our own shorts.
