The bible gives us guidelines for how we should treat each other, these are the family rules for believers. The “one another” statements communicate the characteristics that we should be striving for in our relationship with each other. The way we treat people is important because it’s a reflection of our relationship with God. When it comes to unity, it’s easy for us to rally around a cause, but Jesus wants us to be unified as a family value.

During many road trips there is a point where you can no longer turn back. Something has changed and the best way is to keep going forward. In Acts 9, Jesus brings Saul to a point of no return causing him and us to surrender to Jesus.

Scripture we dive into today:

Road Trip| Road Home [Prodigal Son]

There is something about being able to come home that brings about feelings of comfort and security. Even when you’ve been away on a long trip for work or vacation, there is that desire to be home. There is something about home that brings about these feelings of comfort, security, and safety in our heart. In our text for today, Jesus uses that deep seated desire for home to reveal something about relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Scripture we dive into today:

Luke 15:11-32

You put a bunch of people into a vehicle for an extended period of time and suddenly you discover the many ways you’re not like Jesus. Have you ever noticed that phenomenon? On a road trip, I discover my lack of patience, my lack of love, I discover the ways that I can be selfish, and petty. I’m reminded, that I’m a work in progress. 

As we look to the Bible, we see how God uses road trips, whether in story or in action, to bring about a crossroads for people. We’re going to unpack these road trips to see how God is challenging us to grow in our faith.

Progressive or Progressing in our Faith| Sanctity of Life

October 23, 2022

The abortion debate is so destructive because of this topic’s ability to divide and destroy relationships. Critical to understanding Scripture is a yielded spirit, one that is open to God’s direction on any given matter. Some matters are cut and dry and some are gray. This is not a cut and dry matter because the variables of the matter can be shifted.

Scripture we dive into today:

Psalms 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5, Job 31:15, Psalms 22:10-11, Galatians 1:15, Luke 1:41-43

Marriage is God’s idea and God’s gift to humankind for those that choose to enter into this covenant relationship. Culture has worked to undermine marriage and devalue marriage. Marriage is seen as something that is disposable because culture is consistently pushing us toward the celebration of self.

Culture says sexuality is an expression of how a person feels about others with no regard for the boundaries set within Scripture. Culture has been at work to normalize the areas of our sexuality that God has warned us about. God has given us these warnings because He understands better than we do, the hurt and heartache that comes if we decide to ignore the boundaries He has set.

Progressive or Progressing in our Faith| Gender

Culture is redefining gender which is complicating how we relate to one another, creating discord, and eroding our ability to be civil with one another. The result of this culture shift is confusion and disunity. At the root of this discord is the brokenness stemming from our pride as we attempt to redefine who we are.

Welcome to My Life| Longing to Change

God gave each of us an inborn longing to change – to transform spiritually so that we can be like Jesus. Ironically, the way to this victorious life is by taking up our cross, realizing our own weaknesses and washing feet with Jesus.
