This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew. In today’s text, Jesus presents the parable of the seeds. He then goes on to offer an interpretation of it. We will look at that interpretation and see where we see ourselves in this story. What dose that tell us about our spiritual journey at this moment in time? Our main passage this week is Matthew 13:1-23.

This week we kick off 2023 by first reflecting on some of the opportunities RTCC had last year. Then we look head to what is coming up this year and try to come up with some church goals for this new year! Our main passage this week is John 15:12-17.

This week, we continue our Advent series in which we examine the Grinch. Before the Grinch can dump all his stolen Christmas goods off the mountain, he has a change of heart. The song of the Whos makes him change his mind, he is filled with Christmas joy. Anna talks about another group that were filled with this Christmas Joy. The shepherds who heard about Jesus’ birth on that first Christmas night. Our main passage this week is Luke 2:8-16

This week, we continue our Advent series in which we examine the Grinch. The Grinch does not like what the Whos are doing and so takes matters into his own hands. He must be in total control of the situation. The desire for total control really goes back to the Garden and Satan’s first temptation to humanity. But what would it look like to loosen our grip and let Jesus take some of the control in our everyday lives? Our main passage this week is Luke 1:46-55.

This week, we kick off our Advent series in which we examine the Grinch. The Grinch had a lot of misconceptions about Christmas. But what is Christmas really about. What gifts did God give to us on that first Christmas night? Our main passage this week is John 3:16.

This week is our Expectant Hope service. This short devotional addresses the notion of what do we go when we don’t want to praise God? How can we praise God when we are angry, sad, or afraid? Today we look at one of the most powerful psalms ever written (In my humble opinion). We will see just what it looks like to call out to God in the deepest moments of despair and fear. Our main passage this week is Psalm 121.

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew. In today’s text, Jesus has what looks like an awkward exchange with his mom and brothers. But what is really going on here? We explore this passage in the light of earthly families and the family of God. Our main passage this week is Matthew 12:46-50.

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew. In this passage, Jesus uses stories from the Old Testament to highlight how some of the people are being willfully ignorant. This section finishes with a small analogy about a person/house that overrun with ghosts. This illustrates the dangers of allowing false teachers to persist. Our main passage this week is Matthew 12:38-45.

This week we take a break from Matthew, for a short devotional about greed. In the classic story the Legend of Sleep Hollow, we are introduced to three characters who all suffer with some kind of greed. We talk about how greed can consume us and will always lead to a something bad in the end. Our main passage this week is Luke 12:16-20.

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew. We look at an interesting passage where we see Jesus go out of his way to avoid a potential conflict. This is paired with a passage from Isaiah that talks about what God’s ideal servant will look like. Jesus did not go out starting fights and looking for areas to start arguments, his approach to ministry was so different. Our main passage this week is Matthew 12:15-21.
