Unwanted Grace
Have you found life’s challenges too big for you or do you ever say, “I can’t do that!”? Maybe you are right–you can’t. But that’s not the end of the story if God is in it. With God all things are possible. You will see why and how from several life and Bible stories when we talk about an aspect of grace often ignored.
He Is Worthy!
Philippians 1:12-18 The biggest accomplishments in life take hard work, sometimes pain, and usually a great deal of time. As we endure challenges along the way, we may question ourselves and ask, “Is it really worth it?” Sometimes it’s not, and we quit. But then there are those things that, for us, have tremendous value and we are more determined to finish strong. Join us this Sunday as we reflect on the worthiness of Christ and how it not only…
Making Sense Of The Mess
1 Peter 1:1-2 What in the world is going on? Have you ever thought that to yourself as you tried to make sense of the mess you’ve found yourself in? Maybe you’ve thought that as you’ve watched the news or someone else’s life as it seemingly unraveled. Life often doesn’t make sense. As a believer, we sometimes struggle to make sense of what is happening in and around us in light of what we read in the Bible. This Sunday, we will find…
Cause For Hope
1 Peter 1:3 Do you ever feel like the world is spinning out of control? Do you ever feel like your own life is on a hopeless trajectory heading towards disaster? You’re not alone. Even Jesus’ closest followers felt that way after the death of their beloved Messiah. But their hopelessness turned into hopefulness one Sunday morning. What changed? What turned their outlook on the world and their own lives from desperate to confident? The great news is that the same hope they…
Jesus Died For You
1 Peter 2:21-24, Isaiah 53:3-6 Why did Jesus have to die? What was so bad, that it required the sinless Son of God to shed His blood and give up His life? In a word, “sin”, Because of God’s great love for us, sin was the barrier between us and God. Only one mediator, only one way, could ever tear down the wall of separation between God and man. The Man, Christ Jesus.
Jesus Lived for You – Part 2
We are exhorted in Philippians 2:5 to ” Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,” How can a believer have the same attitude, or mind of Christ, when Jesus was God? Did He endure His hardships, serve others, and even perform miracles because He was God in the flesh, or because God the Spirit was with Him? The answer makes all the difference in the world to how we live out having the mind of Christ. This Sunday,…
Jesus Lived 4 You – Part 1
Philippians 2:5-8 Have you ever met a believer who was hard to relate to? They seemed so “spiritual” that you sensed they wouldn’t be able to understand someone like you that still struggled? Me too! Well, Jesus was not that man. Jesus became man and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Why? Well, for many reasons but for one reason ultimately; to give His life a ransom for many. But what about the other reasons for which Jesus came to earth and…
Jesus Came For You!
“For God so loved the world…” We’ve heard that a million times. So often in fact, that it often loses its impact. God is a relational God. His desire is for a personal relationship with us, personally. So, as I’ve heard before, insert your name where the world is. Go ahead, do it now. For God so loved _______.” We are beginning a new 5-week series entitled Jesus 4 You! God’s Handcrafted Plan for Your Life. This series will look…
1 Mission: Get Right! Part 2
2 Corinthians 5:17-20 If we were to talk with God right now and ask Him, “Father, what is it that you would have me do with the rest of my time here on earth?” I think He would say, “Tell people of My love for them.” Of all God’s attributes, it’s difficult to say that one is greater than the other. Yet, God tells us Himself that He is a God of love, to walk in His love, and that…
1 Mission: Get Right
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 What is our mission in life? Why are we still allowed to live and breathe and have our being? For what purpose did God save us, call us, and leave us here on this sin-sick rock we call earth? This Sunday, we will explore the answer to these questions and hone in on the “What” of our One Mission.
1 Mission: Get Busy
1 Corinthians 15:50-58 God tells us through the Apostle Paul, “Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Living out our faith is work. It’s labor. It’s actually hard work that doesn’t end until we meet our Master. This can be discouraging to hear at times as we consider the amount of work that needs to be done and how…
The Gospel of Grace, Part 2
If grace is an unearned and undeserved endless gift of God, what’s the believers motivation for godly living? Why not just live for ourselves and receive that endless grace? This Sunday, we’ll continue our study on the Gospel of Grace and find out why grace is a stewardship.
