How to Deepen Your Prayer Life
1 Chronicles 17:16-27
Preparing for Sunday:
| This week our church is reading 2 Kings 20-1 Chronicles 17. On Sunday we will look at 1 Chronicles 17:16-27. Here we learn about David’s prayer in response to all the good God promises to do through his kingship. Our main point is that we all need to deepen the quality of our prayer life. We look at several specific ways we can do that on Sunday. I hope to see you there! |

Spiritual Blindness

Spiritual Blindness
2 Kings 6:8-23
Preparing for Sunday:
|
This week our church is reading 2 Kings 1-19. On Sunday we will look zero in on 2 Kings 6:8-23. In this passage we are confronted by a problem we all face: spiritual blindness. We all need to have our eyes further opened to spiritual activity all around us. In Ephesians 1 Paul prays that the eyes of our heart might be opened. I wonder how different your life would be if God gave you the “eyes of faith” to truly believe His angels surround you and support you at all times. Join us Sunday for an examination of this very convicting text!

Death to Life
April 20, 2025
Death to Liife
1 Kings 17:17-24
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading 1 Kings 3-22. On Sunday for Easter we will look at the first recorded resurrection in the Bible in 1 Kings 17:17-24. No one wants to die, but some of us are controlled by a fear of death. In this passage, the prophet, Elijah, confronts one of the biggest questions of the Bible: Does God have power over death? Join us Sunday to learn the answer to that question and how it applies to our lives today. Also, to put an exclamation mark on Easter, we will celebrate Christ’s resurrection with eight baptisms in our service!

Repentance & Restoration
2 Samuel 12:1-15
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading 2 Samuel 4-1 Kings 2. On Sunday we will look at our need for repentance and restoration in 2 Samuel 12:1-15. Following David’s egregious sin with Bathsheba, what do you think should happen next? Based on Saul’s outcome, we all think we know what should happen next! However, we learn a lot in this chapter about David’s heart and God’s heart. Join us Sunday to learn about God’s grace and the kind of person He forgives.

The Person God Uses
1 Samuel 16:1-13
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading 1 Samuel 13-2 Samuel 3. On Sunday we will contrast the hearts of Saul and David, using 1 Samuel 16:1-13 as our text. What made David so different from Saul? Our main point for Sunday is that Saul was a religious man, but David was a regenerated man. Join us Sunday to understand what that means and how it applies to your life!

When the Strong Become Weak

When the Strong Become Weak
Judges 13-16
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Judges 13-21, Ruth 1-4, and 1 Samuel 1-12. On Sunday we will look at the story of Samson in Judges 13-16. Few people in Scripture had such high expectations for greatness like Samson. He was set apart before birth to be a mighty deliverer for Israel! His superhuman strength brought loud applause and celebration! Yet for how great his competency was, his character couldn’t keep up. The story of Samson is a tragic telling of personal implosion and sabotage. Join us Sunday to learn the hard lessons Samson’s story teaches us.

From Weakness to Victory: Gideon's Journey of Faith
Judges 6-7
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Joshua 19-24 and Judges 1-12. On Sunday we will look at the story of Gideon in Judges 6-7. Have you ever felt weak before? Have you ever felt ill-equipped for an assignment from God? Gideon can relate! Yet he discovered that God’s strength is found precisely when he is weak. How can that be? Join us on Sunday to study this amazing passage of paradoxes and profound truth!

What Does the Lord Require of You?

What Does the Lord Require of You?
Deuteronomy 10:12-16
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Deuteronomy 8-29. On Sunday we will focus our attention on Deuteronomy 10:12-16. With so many instructions and commands in the Old Testament, how are you ever supposed to simplify the way you live? Is there a way to boil down all the Torah’s teachings into a few clear commands? I think this is what we find in this passage! Join us Sunday to answer the all-important question: What does the Lord require of you?

The Cost of Rebellion: Lessons from Korah

The Cost of Rebellion: Lessons from Korah
Numbers 16
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Numbers 11-27. On Sunday we will zero in on Numbers 16, which details the consequences for rebelling against God’s design and calling for our life. The truth is that we all want to be noticed. We all have a desire to be celebrated. We all want to see (and more so have others see!) that we are a success story. These selfish inner desires can quickly lead us off the rails of God’s will for our lives. Join us on Sunday to see a particular man who rebelled against God’s design and calling for his life. While consequences for such sin are real, God’s grace is ready to meet the humble.

Guided by His Presence

Guided by His Presence
Numbers 9:15-23
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Leviticus 24-Numbers 10. On Sunday we will zero in on Numbers 9:15-23, which details God’s guiding presence throughout Israel’s journey in the wilderness. Everywhere God’s people went, it was in response to the moving of the pillar of cloud and fire. How often do you think about God’s guiding presence in your life? Does He intend to lead you as He did back then? How is it different? Join us Sunday to answer these questions and more!

A Tale of Two Goats
February 9, 2025
A Tale of Two Goats
Exodus 16
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Leviticus 5-23. Hang in there! Leviticus may not feel relevant, but it reveals so much about the nature of Christ’s sacrifice for us. On Sunday we will look at Leviticus 16, which tells of the Day of Atonement. Each year the high priest went but one time into the inner sanctum of the tabernacle, the holy of holies, to make atonement for Israel’s sins. The high point of this day involved two goats that were central to the nation’s forgiveness. Join us Sunday as we dive deep into the ocean of God’s cleansing grace!

From Rebellion to Redemption: Finding God Amidst Our Golden Calves
February 2, 2025
From Rebellion to Redemption: Findiing God Amidst Our Golden Calves
Exodus 32
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Exodus 25-Leviticus 4. On Sunday we will look at Exodus 32: The episode of the idolatrous golden calf. We will see that while God takes sin seriously, it doesn’t keep Him from acting graciously. Our main point is that even in our moments of greatest failure and rebellion, God’s mercy invites us to turn back to Him and find true redemption. I wonder what your “golden calf” is? Join us Sunday to see how God’s grace both invites us to change and enables our freedom.

Manna in the Wilderness: Trusting God to Provide
January 26th, 2025
Manna in the Wilderness: Trusting God to Provide
Exodus 16
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Exodus 3-24. On Sunday we will recap this section of Scripture and also look at God’s provision of manna in the wilderness. We all are quick to question, quick to doubt, and quick to grumble. We may be disgusted by the reaction of the Israelites, but my bet is we would have responded the same way: Distrust and grumbling. Yet in His infinite grace, God still gave His people all they needed for each day. He does the same with us today through Jesus Christ! Join us Sunday as we unpack these powerful principles of God’s provision!

Standing Firm in Temptation: The Story of Joseph
Genesis 39:1-23
Preparing for Sunday:
This week our church is reading Genesis 35-Exodus 3. Congratulations in advance for getting through the first book of the Bible! 65 more to go! On Sunday we will recap this section of Scripture and also look at the life of Joseph. We will see how he dealt with trials and temptations. Our bid idea will be this: In a world filled with temptation, we must rely on God's strength to uphold our integrity and remain faithful to Him, just as Joseph did in Egypt. We hope to see you there!

Genesis 22:1-18
Preparing for Sunday:
This week, our church is reading Genesis 16-34. On Sunday, we will recap this section of Scripture and zero in on a powerful story in Genesis 22: The sacrifice of Isaac. This story reveals much about the character of Abraham, but it reveals far more about the character of God. Join us Sunday to unpack this life-changing section of the Bible!

God The Creator
Genesis 1-2
Preparing for Sunday:
This Sunday, we start our new series, OPEN THE WORD! Our goal for 2025 is to journey through the Bible together to know, love, and obey Jesus, the Word of God, more. This Sunday, we look at Genesis 1-2 to understand God as our Creator. We will study three implications of God being our Creator, and what that means for us today. I hope you can join us!
