Politics. You’re likely saying “Let’s talk” or “Let’s change the subject.” In this highly contentious season, we are talking—not about which side Jesus is on but rather how we, as the Church, respond to one another. It’s time for the Separation of Church and Hate. |

What does a sack of tomatoes have to do with forgiveness? Turns out...lots! When we fail to forgive people who have wronged us, it costs us the life, the really good life, God has in store for us. . . |

Have you ever heard anyone describe themselves as spiritual instead of religious? Known someone who the church turned off? Have you been tempted to just do your own thing with God and to heck with the church? Unfortunately, the church hasn’t always done a very good job of being the church of Jesus. We haven’t always been the unconditionally loving, graciously forgiving, mercifully serving body we are meant to be. God cares about that. We care about that, too. |

October 11 at 10:00 am Have you ever felt like everyone is in on the secret of life, everyone that is except you? Like they’ve all been given life-hacks that will make raising kids, earning lots of money, relationships easier? What about faith? Are there life hacks for Christians that will make being a follower of Jesus easier? |

If someone were to tell your life story would it be one of generosity, of an openness of spirit to the people and world around you, or would it be an Ebenezer Scrooge story of holding tightly to everything you’ve got, turning people away with your ‘looking out for number one’ attitude? Generosity is a choice, a way of life. In fact it’s a spiritual practice that, if we are faithful, will open us up to the richness of life shared. |

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if somebody would take care of the mess we are in right now? Just step in and take care of everything? To borrow the title from an Alice Walker book, what if ‘we are the ones we have been waiting for’? Incredible as it may seem, that’s the way God chooses to work in our world - through us! And there’s nothing more rewarding than following Jesus, the one who came to serve. |

With so many opinions out there right now –on social media, in the news, on blog posts, in books – it can be hard to find true wisdom. Where do you turn? Who can you trust? The practices of the church can help - specifically the practice of studying scripture. Today we are going to look at how the discipline of engaging in God’s word every day guides us and helps us to grow and mature as faithful followers of Jesus. |

September 13, 2020 Are you the ‘you’ you want to be? Or do you sense that there is more? More than the pursuit of possessions and climbing the career ladder? More than chasing after trends or keeping up with the Jones? More than family feuds and Facebook following? There is. On Sunday, September 13, we explored our identity in Jesus through the spiritual practice of worship. Be Fully You! |
