Doing Things That Matter (Part 4) Is our only dream to become what other people tell us is "normal" or are we scaling the walls of normalcy for God's kingdom purposes? If Jesus were to ask the same question to you that he asked to the blind Bartimaeus (What do you want me to do for you?) Would you ask for more of the same "normalcy" or would you ask for the miraculous? (Jeremiah 29:11, Acts 3, Mark 10)
Doing Things That Matter (Part 3) In 1 Samuel 13 & 14 we see Jonathan & his Armor Bearer step out of the shade of the tree & into a battle of impossible circumstances. These men understood that God is not limited by our resources & there is power in "perhaps." What is keeping you in the shade of the tree? Is it your feelings of inadequacy, brokeness, or selfishness? Give God your "Yes" and He will do the rest. (1 Sam. 13 & 14)
Doing Things That Matter (Part 2) What is it that is comfortable and safe that you are putting your faith in? It's not about holding onto the familiar, but stepping out toward Jesus. Doing things that matter will cause you step out of the boat and into an ocean of possibilities in The Lord. (Matt 14)
Doing Things That Matter (Part 1) We dive into a new teaching series that is at the core of who we are as a church. "Doing Things That Matter," is a concept that drives so much of who we are as believers. Far too many days we spend simply living instead of shedding mediocre versions of faith and scaling the walls of normalcy for God's kingdom purposes. For at the end of your life, all you really have is your story, and your story will become exactly what you lead it to be. (Luke 10:25-27 & Genesis 3:8-9)
This morning was a special morning in the young life of our church. We heard specific stories from the people of our congregation, stories of God's power, love, and faithfulness. Stories of what God has done and is doing are such a major part of who we are as a church. By looking back and remembering how we were all stirred to be a part of this movement, we can look forward with an eager anticipation.
Jonah And The Great City (Part 4) Resolving the purpose of the book of Jonah, we close our four week series by studying chapter 4. In this, we see Jonah's struggle with the vine, the city of Nineveh..... and "many animals." What is it that we love? What is it that we care more about than the people of His creation? We are invited to be a part of the great story of God's redemption and His infinite love for His people. (Jonah 4)
