Trailside Church

Is it possible that you are not becoming more like Jesus but rather making Jesus more like yourself? This week we kick off our new series on Matthew 10 by discussing how we should approach the teachings of Jesus in order to make sure we are being formed in His image and not the other way around.

Jesus the Christ has been a polarizing figure from the beginning. You must either bow to Him as your King or oppose Him and try to control your own life. Which will you choose?

Facing a financial crisis? Trouble at home? Job uncertain? Despite all these things, your greatest need is not to be delivered from your circumstances but to be saved from your sins–and that is EXACTLY what Jesus the Christ came to do!

We prepare our hearts for Christmas by diving into Matthew 1 and asking the question, “What does the word ‘Christ’ actually mean?” Join us this week as we learn that “Christ” is not Jesus’s last name and discuss the real way for disciples of Jesus to put the Christ back into Christmas.

If you think that in Heaven we will be disembodied spirits floating on clouds, listening to harp music, then you REALLY need to pay attention to this week’s sermon. Come learn what our bodies will be like in Heaven and why the Resurrection isn’t just something Christians believe in, its something we participate in!  #blessed #weeksix #newbody #1corinthians15

You are a TOOL not a TROPHY. God didn’t save you just to put you on a shelf and collect dust. He has good works for you to do–lots of them! Sound exhausting? Its not! All you have to do is learn to walk. #blessed #weekfive #godusesyou #goodworks #ephesians2:4-10

Now that Jesus has saved you, you can live however you want, right!? No. The Gospel is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! This week we learn about sanctification and why justification and adoption are just the beginning of God’s blessings! #blessed #weekfour #sanctified #buriedwithchrist #raisedwithchrist #godchangesyou #newlife #romans6

God doesn’t just save you from hell, He adopts you into His family. This week we learn why nobody who follows Jesus is an orphan and how to get off the treadmill of trying to work for the approval of others. #blessed #weekthree #adopted #galatians4:1-7

Bible Trivia question: On a scale of 1 to Jesus Christ, how righteous are you in God’s eyes? If you answered less than Jesus, then you don’t understand the meaning of the word “justification.” This week we learn the meaning of this fancy theological term, and why when you trust in Jesus, God does SOOOOO much more than just give you a second chance. #blessed #weektwo #justified #romans3:21-26

What does it mean to be #blessed? Is it being rich and powerful? Good-looking and popular? This Sunday we kick off a new series where we will examine what it means to be blessed and how God promises to bless you as you follow Jesus. #blessed #weekone #godofjacob #yahwehisfaithful100percent
