Without a foundation a house cannot stand the test of time and weather. That same principle is true for families as well. This week we examine how mutual submission and service is one of the foundational functions of a healthy family.

This week kicks off a series about remodeling the relationships inside of our homes. As we look at the Biblical description of the ideal family, we will take time to consider how our families need to change.
This morning as we gather to celebrate the manner that Jesus rose from the dead we will consider some of our own feelings about death and the way Jesus helps us to overcome death.
This week we will consider the three different entries into Jerusalem taking place on Palm Sunday, and the way that helps us to reflect on what kind of king we serve in Jesus.
Every year as the weather warms up we spend time thinking about all of the Spring Cleaning projects that need to happen to get our house in order. In the same way, we need to become people that regularly go through the practice of examining our lives to identify things that need to change in order to live in a manner that is more pleasing to God.

The conclusion of the book of Acts can leave us unsatisfied because it is easy to focus in on how much we don’t know about the way the story of the apostle Paul ends. However, as unsatisfying as it might be to miss elements of the story, it is important to remember that the book of Acts is about the work of God’s Spirit to build his church and not about Paul.
The second missionary journey of Paul teaches us how important it is for us to have a plan as we seek to do the work of God, and how important it is for us to allow God to change that plan without much notice!
This week we will examine some of the details that preceded the first missionary journey of the early church. As we see the backgrounds of the people that sent out Barnabas and Saul and their devotion to seeking God’s direction, it speaks to how our church should look and act today.
As we continue the journey through the book of Acts we see the conversion of Cornelius and his household. Through this story we see the way the Holy Spirit tears down racial and ethnic divides, and how we need to do the same in our culture.
Personal transformation is one of the core marks of knowing and growing in Christ. This week we examine how this transformation looked in the life of Saul, and how it looks for us today.
