The Land Between, Part 2 – When Fear Kicks In (1 Kings 19:1-18) Because we live in an imperfect world, all of us face difficult situations that get us off balance. Those difficult situations tend to result in fear and when fear kicks in, we tend to ask God to take the situation away or to at least alleviate the pain. But many times, this doesn’t happen as fast as we would like. In this message, we will learn that there is a better way to respond to fear and that God can use the fearful situations in our lives for our good.

The Land Between, Part 1- Fertile Ground (Numbers 11:4-6, 11-23) I’m sick of living in this apartment.” “I’m sick of this job. I hate my boss. I’m sick of not knowing what’s wrong with me. I just wish the doctor would tell me what’s going on.” The Land Between is that place where we don’t have the answers, where we can complain and experience a meltdown but it also is a place to see God’s provision and transformation power in our lives. On Sunday, we will look at a group of people and what they experienced in the Land Between.

Special Guest, Libin Abraham; The Rhythms of Jesus. In the midst of life’s numerous demands and pressures, it’s very possible that the rhythms of our soul can become off kilter. The pace of our life can lead to exhaustion or burn out. However, though his mission was great and his earthly years short, Jesus lived a centered and unhurried life. Jesus modeled certain rhythms of life through which he invites us into the unforced rhythms of his grace. I believe that this message will help recalibrate your heart to God’s divine tempo for life.

How are we to live our lives and how are we to treat others?

REFOCUS: Viewing Morality Through God’s Eyes. Part 7 – Rejecting Racism (Various Scriptures) The Bible is not a science book, or an archaeology or history book, but when it speaks scientifically, archaeologically, or historically it is without error. I have heard some say, Science has proven the Bible wrong on many points. Really? On what points?
