ServiceSundaySermonsNews
Written By Cris Escher

Let’s rediscover the beauty of God's uncomplicated gift of salvation and how it frees us to joyfully participate in His work.

Sunday Bulletin Sep 1st

Questions for the Week: KEEP IT SIMPLE:  Reformation

  1. In what ways do we tend to overcomplicate our relationship with God, and how can we simplify it in light of the message of salvation by grace?

  2. Read John 10:22-30  How does the Jews’ request of Jesus overcomplicate things?  How does Jesus’ response simplify what He is about to do?

  3. What are some practical ways we can live out the understanding that salvation is a gift, not something we earn? How does this affect our daily lives and interactions with others?

  4. How can we effectively share the message of salvation by grace with others, especially those who may be struggling with legalistic or works-based beliefs?

[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer

Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith.  Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility.  For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.

Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role.  Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history.  This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind.  Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.

It was a wonderful week for the kids! They engaged their senses with a blindfolded smell-guessing activity and expanded their palates by sampling mangoes for their tropical fruit feature. They also learned about the story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus.
