It is particularly true during the holiday season as our lives get hectic with school, year-end business responsibilities, holiday activities, and more.

- The Story that Binds Us – Billy RaineyEpisode 87: The Story that Binds Us – Billy RaineyStory-telling is an essential part of the human experience. Stories do more than recollect the past, they give us hope for the present, vision for the future, and bind us with others. This is particularly true of the story of the Kingdom of God prophesied by Isaiah, inaugurated by Christ, and lived into by the Church as we anticipate its consummation down the road where all will be fed, tears will be wiped away, and death will be no more. As we remember those saints who have gone before us, we do so knowing that this great story binds us together with them still.Sermon Scripture Text: Isaiah 25:6-9"The Story that Binds Us" – S03E87 of Grow Deeper: A Bluff Park UMC PodcastWelcome to the Grow Deeper podcast.

- Commitment Sunday – Rev. Ross FurioEpisode 85: Commitment Sunday – Rev. Ross FurioEverything that we have ultimately comes from God. The first step in good stewardship is realizing this truth.

- Golden Images – Rev. Ross FurioEpisode 83: Golden Images – Rev. Ross FurioWe all have things in our life that take up a lot of space - golden images that cast a big shadow.

- Difference Makers – Rev. Ross FurioEpisode 82: Difference Makers – Rev. Ross FurioWe are beginning a new sermon series focused on looking at ways that we, as a people, can be difference makers in our world. Step one is that you have to want to be a person who leaves this world at least a little better than you found it. But this often means being different than the people around us, and standing out can be scary. In what areas of your life do you feel like you are being faithful to God's calling? In what areas do you feel like you might be making some compromises? And, in what areas of your life are you just like everyone else around you? The answers to these questions can help you find the direction that God is calling you to make a difference. To make a difference you have to be different.Sermon Scripture Text: Daniel 1:1-8"Difference Makers" – S03E82 of Grow Deeper: A Bluff Park UMC PodcastWelcome to the Grow Deeper podcast.
