Reflection, Dedication, Communion
The new year is a good time to evaluate where we are with the Lord. Our level of obedience to Jesus reveals our level of love for Him.
Hope for the World
Jesus is the hope of the world.
Hope is Here
The way in which he came revealed the reason why he came.
Hope is Coming
Jesus changes everything.
Hope Foretold and Fulfilled
Jesus is our hope foretold and fulfilled. We will look through the Word to see exactly how God fulfilled the promise of a coming Messiah.
Giving Thanks – Psalms 100
Today we will go through Psalms 100 and consider our call to worship, our call to have perspective, and our call to give thanks.
In All Circumstances
God calls us to be thankful in all circumstances. We will unpack what this means today and hear an update from Jared about his trip to Burma.
Parable of the Ten Minas
Today we will study the parable of the ten minas, a parable told because the Jews believed the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. We will discuss how Jesus is a King in waiting.
Overestimating our Righteousness
We tend to over-estimate our own goodness. That is, we think deep down that we’re really ok people. Self-righteousness is blatantly anti-Jesus. When we overestimate our righteousness, we place ourselves on a god-like pedestal and devalue the nature and death of Jesus.
Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
Today we will discuss the parable of the unforgiving servant and how a refusal to forgive is evidence that you don’t really understand your own sin against God and what it means to have that sin forgiven.
