At the end of Exodus 13 we hear of God's guidance through the Exodus, and how God led the Israelites on a journey "The Long Way Around"

This morning, we look at what it means to, no matter the circumstances, but our faith in the truth that "The Best of All Is... God is With Us". 

In the book of Esther, we hear how God calls us to be ready to stand strong and firm for Him when the moment arises. Are you willing to take 20 seconds of bravery and courage, and when it occurs, TAKE A MOMENT?   

In 1 Kings 18, we hear about how Elijah, though in the middle of a drought, had faith that God was at work in creating a future. This morning we looked at how this story could help us develop a faith for the future and the future church.     . 

As we journey through the story of Elijah and Elisha we are asked the question. Are you living a life that will outlive your life?  

In Matthew 27:50-51 we hear at Christ's crucifixion that the veil was torn. This was the moment when the sharing of the Church shifted from a person to a people, shifting us from consumers to creators and our focus from beyond just local to global.   

In Matthew 9:17, we hear a warning about putting new wine in old wineskins. As we look at the future of the Church, where are we trying to put new wine in the old wineskins? This morning, I challenged how to remain faithful to the mission but be flexible in the methods as we continue to be the Church. 

When we hear The Great Commission, let's not miss the call to be Christ-like as we trust that "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to Him" 

On Baptism of Christ Sunday, we discussed... You guessed it, Baptism, what is it, and what does it mean to and for us 

In Matthew 2 we hear of the Magi and their Epiphany, and today we are challenged to have an Epiphany of our own
