Our series is Means of Grace. In it, we will be exploring spiritual practices that help us grow in discipleship. The last of these is “Worship Together” and looks at how community helps us to grow closer to God. Why should we gather together? What counts as worship? What does it really mean to be together? In what way does it help us grow? As we explore how we interact with God, we grow in faith and love.
Our scripture reading for today comes from Jeremiah 7:1-7, Hebrews 10:18-25, and Matthew 18:15-20.
“Seeking Joy” is the 3rd leg of our Advent Journey. It takes us to prison and to looking ahead. How do we find joy when things are bad? Does joy erase sadness? Do we seek joy alone or together?
We embark on an Advent journey to prepare for the road ahead.
Our scripture readings come from Isaiah 35:1-10 & Matthew 11:2-11.
The last half of the 7 Deadly Sins focuses on three that seem trickiest to understand. We begin with “Gluttony” and explore what gluttony really is. Is it simply over eating? Or is it about how we consume? What can we be gluttonous about? How do we avoid it? And where does love come into play? We explore this and more as we explore the 7 deadly sins.
Our scripture readings come from Amos 6:1-7 and Ezekiel 16:48-50.
Transcript information will be updated later.
As we finish An Overflowing Heart, we look at what unites us. In “Same Love. Same Mind.” we look at how we love and share in Christ’s love. What does it mean to be of one mind? Of one love? How do we get past what divides us? With Christ, we can live with an overflowing heart.
Our scripture reading comes from Philippians 2:1-13.
As we finish our Together series, we come to “Be Together.” We are called to be together. How are we to join together? What does it mean to be together in Christ?
Our scripture reading comes from Genesis 2:18-22
As we continue in our Together series, we come this week to Grow Together. We explore how we grow together with each other and in God. How do we actually grow together? And what does reupholstering a chair have to do with it? Join us in this Father’s Day message!
Our scripture reading comes from Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
