This week, we discuss what it means to Think About These Things. The world races from one holiday to the next and we get caught up in the race when we ought to be slowing down and ponder the story once again so that it renews us to celebrate the meaning of Christmas. How do we do that? In this sermon, we discuss just how Mary, the mother of Jesus thought about he call into God’s plan.
There are physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of being thankful to God and others. We are called as followers of Christ to encourage one another until the Day of Lord happens. Gratitude is one of those ways we can lift each other up.
There are many in this world that are trying to fill the God-sized hole in their lives with everything else. They are trying to find true freedom. As followers of Jesus Christ, we know that True Freedom is found in Him, being united with Him, joining Him in His work in the world. Join us this weekend as we talk about what it means to Finding True Freedom.
We celebrate Communion together and remember the sacrifice given so that we might have life. The Christian walk isn’t just looking pretty on the outside. There’s proof to the walk in being united with Christ. Scripture says “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
Do you know what most people are doing during these uncertain times? They are making home improvements. While we are all making improvements in our living environments, the Lord draws us to make spiritual improvements. Come let us enter into worship and see the transforming work of God in our lives as we surrender to His plan.
This week we confront being transformed not just informed. The stories of the Bible are great but they are meant to transform our lives into the Christlike nature of the Son. Let us remember we are the Body of Christ growing up into Him who is the perfecter of our faith.
Today, we look at what it means to join in with God's Purpose and Plan. We begin to ask ourselves if we are ready and willing to share in God's plan? Jesus calls us all to GO. This week is the first of two parts of joining God's plan, join us next week as we discover what it means to GO and what it takes to GO.
We continue with our series on L.E.A.P. We will discover today what it means to Apply God's Word. We all go to the Bible and take a few verses out to emphasize what is going on or to back up and defend a position we hold. But applying God's word is more than that. Join us as we encounter what it means to apply His word correctly to our lives.
We head into our second week of learning what it means to LEAP toward God's Plan. By Embracing everything that today has, everything that God is doing and Embracing Jesus more and more, we will live the life He has created for us to live.
We begin this week with an introduction to our next mini-sermon series which will be entitled LEAP. As a church and as personal followers of Jesus we are being asked to LEAP into what God has planned for us.
