THE WAIT
Finding hope, peace, joy and love as we wait upon the Lord
No one likes to wait. We are impatient for what we want. Yet to “wait upon the Lord” is a necessary part of discipleship, teaching us to put our own demands and desires second to our relationship of trust in God. Nowhere is that lesson more firmly driven home than during the season of waiting, Advent. This Advent we’ll explore what it means to wait for the Lord and how faithfully observing the main foundations of the season- hope, peace, joy and love- come to shape each of us into ever stronger disciples and witnesses.

TO LIVE LIKE YOU ARE DYING
The Four Things That Matter Most
What would you change if you knew you were dying? What priorities would you set and what comforts would you desire? Inspired by the book by Dr. Ira Byock of the same name, this series explores what it might mean to shape our live around four key pillars: receiving forgiveness, giving grace, sharing thanks and offering love. As Easter people living into Christ’s victory over death, it’s important for us to be shaped by Easter’s impact on life and how we live it. As we head towards the end of the year, the season of All Saints, Thanksgiving and Advent, it is a good time to reevaluate and reflect on what it means to live as if we are dying to self and living for Christ.

BULL HEADED BLASPHEMIES
Good News For People Who Struggle With God
The people of Israel were named for the patriarch Jacob, the name meaning ‘those who struggle with God’ and that they certainly did! Despite blessing after blessing and continuous proof of God’s love and favor they continually doubted, flouted His rules and tried to usurp God’s divinity. Though the writings of Exodus seem strange and foreign, the dilemma presented and the struggle for faithfulness is as real and personal today. For the first few Sundays in October, we’ll explore our own rebellious nature and hear the call to come back to God.

CALLED TO BE MORE THAN MERE BELIEVERS
Over 65% of Americans claim to be Christian. Of course, if that were truly the case, the world would be a very different place! So are they lying? Probably not. Rather we have become confused about what it means to be a disciple. Too many are like sports fans: we claim Christ largely because of what we think we’ll get out of it as opposed to seriously accepting Christ’s demand that we deny ourselves, take up the cross and follow (Luke 9:23). Inspired by Kyle Idleman’s book, “Not a Fan,” this series will challenge each of us to seriously reflect on the nature of our own discipleship and call us to become truly devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Revelation’s Letters to the Church
The book of Revelation is not simply a strange, imagery laden depiction of end times. Rather it is a call to the church (then and now) to be ready, focused and about God’s purposes. “Let anyone who has ears listen!” is a phrase repeated over and over again. In other words, “Listen up!” God has something you need to hear!” As we celebrate the beginnings of the church at Pentecost we’ll explore the letters to the seven churches at the beginning of this book. While they are addressed to specific churches, these churches serve as models or types and offer guidelines to our church today. Join us for this series and be sure to listen up!

SET IN STONE
Discipleship Lessons from ‘The Rock’
He was named Simon, son of Jonah but his earnest, dedicated- if sometimes clumsy and faltering- faith led Jesus to rename him “Peter,” or “the rock.” His example was to provide a foundation for all the members of the Body yet to come. In his letters the apostle builds up his church, strengthening them to withstand the challenges of declaring the Good News in a hostile world. Though we don’t face the same dangers, we are also called to stand against a world that is dismissive, apathetic and resistant to Christ’s message. In this series we’ll look at some of the foundation lessons in discipleship shared in the letter of 1 Peter.
