Scripture: Isaiah 35 (1-10), Luke 18:35-43

THE CHURCH

Ever thought to yourself, why would/should/do I go to CHURCH? As a pastor, I've even wondered that some days. So what is the local church for? Why does it exist? How is it all apart of God's plan? We get a taste of what things looked like for the early church in Acts chapter 2. Join us this fall as we do a deep dive into the purpose and plan for local churches and how God is using them to bring His kingdom here on earth. Embark on an adventure with us as we explore how God uses the community of believers together to create a family where you are known and loved, experience generosity, challenged to step out of your comfort zone, and find unity. In a life full of ups and downs called to do life together. You’re not alone!!

Ever wondered how to boil down your faith in Jesus into a simple, concise and biblical way. Through the month of October we will dive into this very topic looking at our faith stories and how they connect to the greater story of God at work in our lives. Its only by grace that we have been saved. Its only by faith that we can believe this. Its only by the Word of God that we know and can test this. GRACE-FAITH-SCRIPTURE. Join us as we look at how Martin Luther used these three sola's to produce a framework for telling the story of God's work in his life and develop your story so you can grow in learning how to share it with others.

Mark 9:2-9

Greater Things Than These:
In the darkness of winter, the light of the epiphany season shines through Jesus on us. That light began with a star in the east and brightens to show the heavens standing open. That light calls us to fish for people, to hear the teaching of Jesus, and to venture in new ways and into new places with the light of Christ. In this light we see Jesus, only Jesus, and others can see Him, too, though us.

Scripture:
Isaiah 40:21-31
Mark 1:29-39

Unexpected Endings
Often, we think we know how things will turn out--at the game, on the job, in politics, in life. But the message of Christianity at the end of the church year is to expect the unexpected. The parable of the talents, the song of Zachariah, and the parable of the sheep and the goats are all about surprising and unexpected endings that come from the grace and love of God. And those unexpected endings can inspire us to do unexpected things. God's grace is always surprising, just ask the women going to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus on that early Sunday morning.

Greater ThingsThan These
In the darkness of winter, the light of the epiphany season shines through Jesus on us. That light began with a star in the east and brightens to show the heavens standing open. That light calls us to fish for people, to hear the teaching of Jesus, and to venture in new ways and into new places with the light of Christ. In this light we see Jesus, only Jesus, and others can see Him, too, though us.

Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6

The One
For the time of Advent and Christmas, the overarching theme is “the One” teaching us how God works through individuals to accomplish God's saving work. Most significantly, God works through His Son whose coming we celebrate and anticipate. But there are other individuals who also play a role--John the Baptist, the virgin Mary. the shepherds and old Simeon. These individuals point us to the One and show how each one of us can point to the One in our lives, too ... each one reaching one who reaches one who reaches one.

Unexpected Endings

Often, we think we know how things will turn out -- at the game, on the job, in politics, in life. But the message of Christianity at the end of the church year is to expect the unexpected. The parable of the talents, the song of Zachariah, and the parable of the sheep and the goats are all about surprising and unexpected endings that come from the grace and love of God. And those unexpected endings can inspire us to do unexpected things. God's grace is always surprising, just ask the women going to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus on that early Sunday morning.
