NFL teams are finishing training camp and the teams are determining their starters based on their strengths and the team. God has called us to a team that is far greater than a NFL team or any sports team. We are called to exercise our faith by utilizing our God-given gifts. This is how we offer ourselvses as living sacrifices to God.

God calls us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices but we can easily get pulled away from Christ. We must intentionally seek ways to be transformed by the renewing of our mind as opposed to conforming to the pattern of this world. We will explore how to let God transform us while also resisting being conformed to the pattern of this world.

The focus is Romans 12:1 and offering ourselves as living sacrifices in view of God's mercy. The primary emphasis will be on the God's great mercy and our response to that great mercy with our lives. This series will point toward our September push to have each person (re)engage with NPPC through serving and utilizing their gifts.

What is freedom? How does God describe freedom in the Bible and how does that differ from our culture's working assumptions about freedom.

We should not look to others to be someone that only God can be. God warns us to not look horizontally for what can only truly come vertically from Him. We will be focusing on God's call to turn to Him as the true source of life and, therefore, the way to free people from looking to others as the primary source of fulfilling their needs/desires.

As followers of Jesus, we are adopted children of God with a common heavenly Father. We can learn to relate well with our parents as we learn to relate with our heavenly Father. We may think that it goes the other way around but this is the flow of learning how to relate.

Guard your heart... everything flows from it. We may be tempted to point our fingers at the relational mess of others while missing out on how we are contributing to the mess.
