Things Jesus Never Said (05-05-2024 to 05-26-2024)
Contrary to popular belief, the phrase “God helps those who help themselves” is not found in the Bible. It originated from ancient Greek culture and later became associated with Benjamin Franklin’s writings. Phrases like these have true things about them and they also have false things. And so it is important to understand the difference between popular phrases and what’s really in the bible, because when we have bad theology we expect God to do things that God doesn’t do, and then we get frustrated with God. And it ends up messing up our relationship with Jesus.

The Redemption of Scrooge (12-03-2023 to 12-24-2023)
Scrooge had good memories and bad ones, just like everyone else. What made Scrooge “Scrooge” was the unhealthy relationship he had with those memories. Scrooge is shown that even though you have made mistakes in the past, you can’t change those things. There are things you can do today. For Scrooge to be redeemed he had to transform. There was nothing he could do about the things in the past, but if he took the present seriously then he could make better decisions this Christmas and scrooge could redeem his heart. And so we have to make sure that we have a healthy relationship with our past, our present, so we can move forward as Christ calls.

Strapped (10-29-2023 to 11-19-2023)
Humans have always had a tendency to feel strapped. Like we don’t have enough. This is a mentality we all have found ourselves in from time to time. It certainly can be financial, but it can also be time, energy. It can be harder to live in faith when you have something to lose. When you have more, it can be even more difficult to live with an abundance mindset. Trust in God instead of ourselves. Abundance is focused on asking God what you can do with what you, have instead of a focus on what you don’t have. It’s like a seed. It is not about the tiny seed it is about what God can do with it.

Dinner with Jesus (10-15-2023 to 10-22-2023)
This series is about looking good on the outside, “Keeping up appearances, but neglecting the inside.” What could we say about that? Jesus liked to have hard conversations over the dinner table. When he was sitting at the dinner table he would oftentimes find himself there with people, and for some reason this is when he would say, “ok, we need to have a talk”. Typically these were conversations that the other person did not want to hear, but if they could hear it, if they could lay down their defenses and really hear what Jesus was saying it would transform their hearts and minds for the better.

Life ~ Don’t Miss It! (09-17-2023 to 10-08-2023)
Don’t miss out on the joys of life..Interupt the unimportant. Jesus traveled extensively to spread God’s word, and was constantly interrupted by people vying for his attention. He never let a schedule stop him from listening or caring or enjoying people as he crossed their path. When Jesus interrupts us, he is bidding for our attention. When we turn from those bids, our heart hardens. Join us Sundays for worship as we learn how to be open, have Joy, Gratitude, be Generous, and find and share the Love God intended for us.

There are all sorts of directions and choices that you get to make throughout your life, and picking those directions is one of the most important things that we can do as disciples of Christ.

Why So Angry (01-22-2023 to 02-12-2023)
Why are we so angry? Because other people think differently than we do, and do differently than we want them to do. And sometimes we should have a righteous anger. When people are doing things to hurt or oppress others. When people with no power are being mistreated by those who have power, that should make us angry. But it seems to be that much of the anger comes from the fact that other people do not agree with us. Luckily for us the scripture tells us quite a bit about how to treat people who disagree with us, and you may think it is just simply – love them, but it is actually more complicated and detailed than that in a very helpful way. The Roman empire was much like our country today, but also even more diverse. And all of these different people were coming together to form one church, and so the scripture had some lessons for them that we forgot. This series, we will about how to remember these important ancient lessons.

Christmas Blizzard (11-27-2022 to 12-18-2022) & Christmas Day (12-25-2022)
The blizzard around us does not have to become the blizzard within us. We often assume that what happens outside of us must also happen inside us. But that does not have to be that way, Jesus teaches us that the chaotic blizzards of our world do not have to become the chaotic blizzards of our hearts. So for this Advent season together we are going to explore the Christmas story and see the way God reveals to us this lesson through the story.

What If? (11-06-2022 to 11-20-2022)
We often ask “What if I fail?”, when instead we should be thinking more about, “what if I succeed!” What if God does the things that God promises to do? What if I am actually faithful, then what can God do? God wants us to ask the “what if?” question focused on possibility instead of fear.

Life Is Good (09-18-2022 to 10-16-2022)
“God is good…All The time and All the time….God is good.” Is a christian church thing originating in churches in Africa in the midst of persecution that people say together. When we say God is good, it is important that we understand what we are saying. I know it might sound a bit dull to talk about how we are going to define goodness, but believe me by understanding how Good God is, it has huge impact on the way we see the world and how we live our lives. So bear with me as I present to you. God is good! Better than you realize.

Pay Attention (07-31-2022 to 08-21-2022)
We go through life and get so much in the habit of getting the bills paid, being where we are supposed to be on time, and just living, that we forget about how God is at work in the world, God is at work in you, and God wants you to be at work on yourself and in the world. Pay attention because you never know when God is going to be there to teach you something, call you to do something extraordinary, do something incredible. Pay attention!

Flawed (1-23-2022 to 2-20-2022)
Everyone you know is flawed. All of us make mistakes. And our God uses flawed and imperfect people to do perfect and incredible things.

The Sounds of Christmas (11-28-2021 to 12-26-2021)
This series we focus on the songs and sounds of Christmas and how they reflect lessons from the Bible. Charles Wesley helped his more famous brother, John, start the Methodist movement. As a writer of more than 8,000 hymns, his songwriting played an important part in the movement’s birth. One of the enduring strengths of many of these songs is the fact that they don’t just retell the nativity story. Instead, it focuses on a hunger that we can all identify with. As we launch into Advent, Charles Wesley’s songs can help you teach about Israel’s long wait for their coming Messiah as it struggled under foreign occupation.

Greater Than (10-24-2021 to 11-21-2021)
We are going to talk about doing better and being greater than we were before.

That tomorrow can be better today, or at least we can be better followers of Jesus that we were before even if we face obstacles in the future. So for the next few weeks we are going to be talking about being greater than. So we can do greater than, we can be greater than.

What To Do..When You Don’t Know What To Do (06-27-2021 to 07-11-2021)
When we don’t know what to do God might be calling us to wait. Waiting and patience are not the same as doing nothing. There are some lessons God can only teach us through the Christian practice of waiting. When we don’t know what to do it is time to listen. When we get afraid often times we grab for control because we believe that control will make us safe. And that makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with having a plan. But while we have that plan, we also have to trust that God’s plan is better.
