“Joy to the World,” is a famous Christmas carol but what happens when we talk a lot about joy and don’t experience it? Does ‘joy’ even matter to God? What does it actually mean, how can I cultivate joy in my life, and why should I even care? Listen in as we explore these questions and so much more because simply put: It’s time to reclaim your joy.
Jeff starts a new series exploring ‘4-letter-words’ that Christians don’t like saying. This week’s word: PRAY. Prayer can be hard for believers which can sound like an oxymoron but most of us have felt the intimidation of having to pray out loud, pray for a stranger, or even praying for a family dinner! But as we embrace our calling to ‘pray,’ God’s Spirit will move in and through us to transform all things. In this opening message, Jeff reads from the New Testament on prayer and introduces us to ‘17 words that will change your life.’
How much of heaven can we experience on earth? This question needs to occupy our minds and hearts. Jesus taught us to pray: ‘Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’ With this prayer and other scriptures, listen in as Jeff explores what it means to be: “Joining God’s Mission Transforming All Things.”
God’s heart for the poor is seen throughout scripture. From beginning to end you see how God is providing for our needs, healing our pain, and setting us free. This same heart is on perfect display in the life of Jesus and early in His ministry. Listen in as we’re reminded of ‘The Heart of Christ’ while we prepare to give generously to our mission partners at ‘Convoy of Hope.’
There is a party that God is preparing for us in heaven that far surpasses even the greatest parties you can imagine on earth. Listen in as Jeff closes our series by looking at the ‘The Parable of the Great Feast.’ From this scripture we’ll learn about God’s eternal plan as well as how we can prepare our hearts today for all He has in store for us in the future.
Have you ever noticed that Jesus went to a lot of parties? As we launch a new series, ‘Party Like Jesus,’ Jeff shares from one of the most famous party-passages in scripture: The Wedding at Cana. Jesus went to a lot of parties (and never sinned) and it seems like wherever He went, blessing and abundance followed. What can we learn from Jesus and how can we become more like Him, one party at a time?
In this week’s sermon, Jeff explores an Old Testament passage to define what can happen for us when we’re ‘anxious for answers.’ Additionally, we have a beautiful promise and antidote to this anxiety: “Waiting On The Lord.” Join us as we invite God to re-define what it means to trust and wait on Him.
What did Paul mean when he wrote: “Be Anxious For Nothing…” Is this a promise? Is it only for heaven or can we experience it today? What would my life look like with less anxiety and more peace? As we study Philippians 4 together let’s learn about and put into practice the spiritual disciplines of: "Pause, Pray, and Praise."
