- Nov 20, 2016Working Together
Working TogetherThe Christian life was never intended to be an idle life. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5 about the work we have to do and the fact that we should not be taking it on alone.
- Nov 6, 2016Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly
Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk HumblyThis week we begin with a few thoughts about the upcoming election and our role as Christians in the midst of it all. Then we look at the words of Micah to remind us who we are and how we should interact with each other.
- Oct 30, 2016I Will Make a Difference
I Will Make a DifferenceOur series concludes by asking the question, "Could you be the answer to the problems you see?" Sometimes in the midst of the need for a reset, we forget that each of us has the potential to make a real difference in the mission of the church. Each of us can make a real impact.
- Oct 23, 2016I Will Give Generously
I Will Give GenerouslyHow do we view money and material things? Do we try to collect as much of them as we can, or do we cheerfully share them to help others? This week, we discuss out attitudes toward money and how God intends that we use it.
- Oct 16, 2016I Will Not Be a Church Dropout
I Will Not Be a Church DropoutWhy do people leave church? Amazingly it's often for two reasons that are polar opposites. They are doing too much, or they are doing too little. How can we achieve a better balance in our involvement?
- Oct 9, 2016I Will Go
I Will GoJesus told His disciples that it was their job to go into the world and tell His story. As His followers today, it is now our job. In his book,I Will: Nine Traits of the Outwardly Focused Christian, Thom Rainer indicates four main reasons that people shy away from this task.
- This is not my spiritual gift.
- This is what we pay our preacher to do.
- I don’t have time.
- I don’t want to impose my beliefs on others.
We will discuss these objections and how to take steps to overcome them and fulfill the mission of Jesus to spread the gospel into all the world. - Oct 2, 2016I Will Serve
I Will ServeWhat would the world be like if each person stopped thinking about his or her own wants and instead thought about the needs of others? That is the way God wants His people to look at the world around them. How can we better serve?
- Sep 25, 2016I Will Grow Together with Others
I Will Grow Together with OthersIn Acts 2 we get some insight into how the early church worked. They spent time together in both large and small group settings. Christianity is intended to be lived out among other believers, but that one meeting each Sunday staring at the backs of the heads of others is not enough. We must be more connected with others in the church to grow the way God intends.
- Sep 18, 2016I Will Worship with Others
I Will Worship with OthersIn John 4:24 we read, "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." We want to truly worship God, yet so many times we get caught up in our differences. This week we will consider setting aside our personal preferences to better worship with others.
