Unless you are a die-hard athlete do you even think of stretching. Physical stretching is one of the best things we can do to keep ourselves in the game. But what about spiritual stretching? God sometimes asks us to go out of our comfort zones. He stretches us. Our faith enlarges and we reap a host of spiritual benefits like restoration, influence, and the promise of things we can’t even imagine.
We begin to remember the life of Christ starting with His baptism. In the account of this event we see the trinity, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. And the Prophet Isaiah reminds us that the Servant of the Lord who came would have the Sprit of God placed upon Him. This One is Jesus. Come and join us as we celebrate and discuss Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Navigating the narrow road requires us to be in-tune with God to know when to move and where to move toward. That’s where discernment comes in the life of a believer. This week, we continue in our sermon series on LAND. We will learn what it means to Discern Movement. This is knowing where God is moving and joining Him in His plan and purpose. It means keeping our eyes and ears tuned to His Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to be at work helping us discern the decisions we have to make in this world.
We continue this week with our new sermon series: L.A.N.D. and things we might have to look at in our lives to join God in HIs plans and purpose for us. This week, we look at what it means to Navigate and not just to fix our eyes somewhere but how to effectively Navigate the Narrow Road. Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). There are things we can do to navigate in this world with godly perspective.
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.
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.
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.
Today is Pentecost, a celebration of the Holy Spirit coming and the birth of the Church. Let us be reminded that we are called out in service to God's plan. It is only by and through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can go and make disciples. Join us for worship as we discover what it means to be Empowered by the Spirit.
It's Mother's Day and we celebrate all women who are Mother figures, who have raised us in the faith. Blessings for a wonderful day! We continue our series this morning on We Believe… in the Holy Spirit and the holy catholic church. What do these mean to us today? Join us in our discovery of the Apostle's Creed.
