Sunday Messages

When Jesus called people to Follow Him- he not only taught them how to live in His ways- he then Sent Them out- to love, serve and share the good news about Jesus with others- Often by meeting their physical and spiritual needs in His name.

The Decision to Follow Jesus is the most important decision we’ll make in our lifetimes. Once we’ve explored the options and determined that Jesus really is the way the truth and the life, we then get to discover what Jesus means when he says: “Come Follow Me…”

The largest religion in the world began with a simple, three word invitation from Jesus- “Come and see.” People have been exploring the way of Jesus for over two thousand years, seeking to determine if Jesus’ claims about himself, and the ways we are to relate to God and one another, are true. Come and see.

Rest. The Bible commands it. Jesus showed us how to practice it from the right perspective and position. But for most of us, taking one day a week to rest is difficult and illusive. Let’s practice together.

Jesus encouraged spiritual practices that ultimately lead to freedom for his followers- including the discipline of trusting God with our money. But how do we really allow God to set us free from the master of money, so we can follow him freely?  Let’s practice together.

Jesus engaged in the regular practice of weekly worship, and spontaneous worship was often the response of people who encountered his love and power. But how do we know if our worship places and practices are the authentic offering God desires? Let’s practice together.

Jesus practiced prayer as unbroken communion with the Father, and he clearly taught his followers to pray. But we often wrestle with how, what and when to pray. Let’s practice together.

As Jesus washed the feet of his friends, he directed his followers to live the same way and be the lead servants in every space. But with busy lives, full schedules, and many demands, how do we prioritize the practice of serving? Let’s practice together.

Jesus clearly directed his followers to be his witnesses- who practice sharing our faith with others. But for many of us, this practice is the most intimidating of all. Let’s practice together.

One of Jesus’ most repeated directives was “Repent!”- and we often feel the flow of connection with God broken by our fears and faults. But how do we move into authentic rhythms of confession, with God and with one another? Let’s practice together.
