What does living with compassion, integrity, and a commitment to others look like? In Ruth 3, the story of Boaz reveals a powerful example of selfless love and faithfulness that points us to Jesus, our ultimate Redeemer. Join us as we explore how Boaz’s actions invite us to embody Christ-like generosity and honor in our own lives.

This week, we’ll dive into Ruth 2 to uncover what made Ruth stand out and attract incredible favor. Her story shows us how humility, hard work, and kindness can open doors to blessings beyond what we imagine. Join us as we explore how living like Ruth can draw us closer to God’s grace and transform our everyday lives.

Today, we begin the first of two stories centered around the little town of Bethlehem. Yes, it is too early for Christmas. But this first story is not the Christmas story. Instead, it is a prequel that offers us hints along the way. The Christmas story reaches its climax with a journey to Bethlehem. This story begins with one.

This week we conclude our series on Spiritual disciplines and growth. While I hope you learned some new things, it only matters if we put them into practice. This morning we want to accept the calling of God in our lives to Rest, Renew, and Reach.

Everybody has a story, and when you share how God’s grace has transformed your life, it has the power to impact others. By being vulnerable, Christ-centered, and keeping it simple, your testimony can clearly point people to Jesus. Don’t worry about perfection—just tell the story of God’s grace in your life and let Him do the rest.

As we follow Jesus and begin to see others as he does, the next key to disciple-making can be summed up with three words. “Come and See”

The next few weeks we will look at practical ways to be disciple-makers. But what if I told you there was one shift we can make in our lives that with no other tips or tools will transform us into people who can’t help themselves when it comes to making disciples? This morning we want to talk about pearls.

The first step in being disciple-makers is to understand who we are. Jesus doesn’t give them a program but instead tells them they are salt and light. What does that mean? How can understanding this identity give us the chance to share God’s kingdom life?

Last week we examined the importance of making disciples for followers of Jesus. But what is it? How do we define disciple-making? This morning we will challenge some of the modern ways we have interpreted this calling, and renew our commitment to revealing Jesus to our world.

We welcome Shaun back from sabbatical this morning picking up where we left off. We practice spiritual disciplines to know Jesus and his love…but what comes next? What is it that he has called us to do as his people in relationship with him? What did he commission his followers to do? In other words, what’s next?
