We conclude our message series, "Next Door: The Art of Neighboring" by looking at the root cause of the fragmentation of neighborhoods. We discover that it goes all the way back to, "In the Beginning...."
The third week in our message series, "Next Door: The Art of Neighboring." This wee we consider how to use food as a way of building God's Kingdom in our neighborhood.
In the second week of our message series, "Next Door: The Art of Neighboring," we look at the value of knowing the names of our neighbors. Most Americans say that they don't know the name of any of their neighbors, and that leaves a lot of lonely people. In the Gospel Jesus reveals the name of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, so that we might know God. He wants us to know, and love, our neighbors.
We are beginning a new message series, "Next Door: The Art of Neighboring." The basic idea is that despite our reasons for living where we do, God has his own reasons for putting us in the neighborhood we are in. We are called to witness to his love and grace. This series will suggest some ways in which we can do that.
As we conclude our Easter message series, "Love Lives," we look at one final aspect of love: love is sacrificial. It is fitting that we look at this aspect of love, because today is also Mother's Day, and who has been a better witness of sacrificial love in our lives than our mom?
In the fourth week of our Easter message series, "Love Lives," we are going to look at the double-edge sword of love: acceptance and the grace to grow.
During the third week of our message series, "Love Lives," we are going to look at what love in action looks like in relationships were there is a rift.
This is the second week of our Easter message series, "Love Lives." This week we discuss that the first key to accessing the ability to love as God loves, is to see others as God sees them.
We begin our message series for the Easter Season, "Love Lives." None of us love the people in our lives the way we would like to love them. Jesus is love in action, and it is through a relationship with him that we can love as we want to love.
As we continue our Lenten message series, "No Offense," this week we will discuss how we can respond to real offenses more in the way that Jesus did -- by forgiving them.
The second week of our message series, "No Offense." This week we reflect on the fact that God has our back; "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). Remembering this helps keeps offenses in perspective.
We begin our Lenten message series, "No Offense." We live in a culture where people seem to be very easily offended. This week we look at three facts about offenses which will be the foundation of this series which aims to help us choose to respond to offenses in a healthier, more Christ-like manner.
We come to the last week of our message series, "Defining Moments." This week we will look at teachable moments; while they are not something we can plan for, they are something we can prepare for.
This is the fifth week of our message series, "Defining Moments." This week we going to see that Jesus want to make all things new, that he wants to do something new in our lives. We need to name it, and then begin a new spiritual practice to cooperate with Christ's authority and power to make all things new.
