Is a person who never hears the name of Jesus going to be punished because they have not placed faith in Him? Is Jesus really the only path to eternal life? Isn’t it arrogant for Christians to believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong? This week we are going to look at Jesus’ claim in the Gospel of John that new life only comes through him.
Many people, whether a steadfast Christian or an ardent skeptic of the faith, will at some point question the nature of Christ. This week we will be looking at how it is was possible that Jesus was fully human and fully Devine at the same time.
What do you see in the Easter story? Do you see the risen Jesus who has died for your sins and risen from the dead to give you new life? Do you see grief of Mary that was turned to joy because Jesus is alive? Do you see Jesus as the teacher, the one who can show you how to truly live life? Do you see, or better yet, do you hear Jesus calling your name? Put yourself in John’s account of the Jesus’ resurrection and hear Jesus calling you into a new life with Him.
Our world often tells us that we should be focused on securing our material wealth, but this week we examine how stewardship and generosity are important elements in a life of faith.
The story of Gideon shows us how belief, even if it doesn’t come easy, leads us to live out an active and daring faith.
We all encounter them. They come at those times that are most inconvenient, usually unexpected, and unwelcome. They are interruptions. This morning we will explore how they will come, how will we respond and what will we learn from His whispers to us in the process.
We have all had that moment where we forget the rest of our story mid-sentence, or we cant remember why we called someone while the phone was ringing. This kind of drift with our memories also happens in organizations. This week we are looking at the importance of staying on mission.
The Father sent Jesus to live and die and be raised from the dead to establish His church as the vehicle to rescue and restore people and ultimately all of creation. Jesus has sent us to carry on His mission by enjoying constant fellowship with the Father, Son, and Spirit, and intentionally pursuing His mission of renewal by making disciples who make disciples.
Whether we recognize it or not, everyone of us is building a legacy that will outlive us. The way that we treat others, the way we make them feel, and the lessons we have to pass on to the next generation are really important. This week we consider how we can leave a positive legacy.
