Revealed – What Jesus Desires in His Church/Be Like Jesus
We launch this seven-part Revealed series and immediately encounter needed words spoken by Christ to a suffering and bloodied Church. Consider its application: when we love our first love, we love like Jesus. Text: Revelation 1:10-20, 2:1-7
See yourself as you truly are: the story of Cain & Abel
Only when you see yourself as you truly are can you begin to realize the extent of Gods mercy. It’s only by Gods presence and grace that we can even begin to lift our eyes to something good. Your voluntary sacrifice represents the quality of your relationship with God. Are you offering just some of it, or the very best portions of it? Text: Genesis 4: 4-7
Coverer
The unchanging character of God, fulfilled in Christ, enters the story at the darkest moment following creation–the Fall. In the “Hidden” series, consider a type of Christ emerging in “plain sight” from the very beginning. Text: Genesis 2:25-3:21
Restored Love & Honor
Love and honor of God is a paramount responsibility for the worshippers of God. In the first of a five-part series from Malachi, consider why this is foundational to begin a New Year. Text: Malachi 1:1-2:9
The Wonder of Christmas….LOVE
At just the right time God sent His Son into the world as our Messiah. If we trust in Him, He is working to complete a good work in us. All because He loves us. This Christmas 2020 abide in Him and in His love. Text: Galatians 4:4-7
We Need Your Help
We need God’s help. Then through fellowship (koinonia), we also help each other. As Jesus loves us, so we love one another. As Jesus forgives us, so we forgive one another. Text: Psalm 70:5, Acts 2:42
Responding as Christ in a Sexually Bewildered Culture
How does Jesus engage a sexually bewildered culture? In #5 of 6 of the Human Sexuality series, consider John 8 as a model for the church to reflect Christ in the midst of confusion and our own sexual brokenness. Text: John 8:1-12
Seeing Jesus and Sharing Jesus
We come to Jesus in need of healing, like the woman, and in need of having our vision of our neighbors transformed, like the synagogue leader. When we first see Jesus in our neighbors, we are then able to share Jesus. The transformation in our hearts is the mustard seed that becomes something much bigger than we could imagine. Text: Luke 13:10-20
