‘Spiritual Community’ remains one of the most important ingredients to a healthy and maturing life in the Lord. For centuries, Christians have gathered together to worship, pray, hear Biblical teachings, and support one another. But in today’s world, distractions seem omnipresent. Listen in as we discuss the beauty of a spiritual community and the potential risk when we avoid gathering together.
Do you remember puberty? It was awkward, isolating, and… smelly. As Jeff starts this new series, we’re looking at the journey from spiritual childhood to maturity and the inevitable changes we all go through. We all need to go through spiritual puberty on our way towards maturity and there are some key things to keep in mind on the way. Listen in as we kick off this new series on spiritual growth & formation.
Jeff wraps up our summer series on the minor prophets with one last ‘major lesson’: The promises of healing, freedom, and joy are here for us today. Listen in as we study the last six verses of the Old Testament and prepare our hearts to experience the Sun of Righteousness together and the blessing that’s hidden in His wings.
In the last book of the Old Testament (Malachi), God reaffirms His love and heart towards the people of Israel. Written like a mercy sandwich (with correction in the middle), Malachi uncovers a variety of unworthy responses from the people to a most worthy God. Listen in as we discover God’s plan to lovingly correct and ‘open the windows of blessing’ upon our lives.
Habakkuk could be summarized in three simple words: Cry, Wait, and Remember. Do you have a life with God where you can cry out and lament? Have you developed the spiritual discipline of silently waiting before God? And can you recall and remember all the great things God has done and has promised yet to do in your relationship with Him? Listen in as we discover some major lessons from this minor prophet.
As we close our month in Jonah, listen in as we explore the depths of God’s mercy. God is FILLED with mercy, He loves to show you His mercy (is even arranging ways for you to experience it), and has plenty of mercy to go around — even for our enemies. How can we experience God’s mercy today and do we reflect this same mercy to the world around us?
Jonah 2 teaches us a lot about how we can approach God, experience His rescuing nature, and respond to salvation. As we continue our series in the minor prophets, let’s explore the tension and invitation from God we see from inside the belly of the fish.
Join us as we study the minor prophets during our summer preaching calendar. Today, we’re starting with the book of Jonah and allowing God to show us how we might be more like Jonah than we realize. If you’re running from God, caught in the storm, or sleeping on His plans for your life — it’s never too late to embrace the mercy of Christ and be rescued by our Lord.
We close our series on “Kingdom Expectations” by remembering and celebrating Pentecost. When God poured out His Holy Spirit, He was fulfilling a promise given years before: that ‘you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…’. What did this outpouring look like and how does it impact our daily life with God moving forward? Listen in as we celebrate Pentecost together.
