Journey into Worship

September 20, 2020
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! |

August 23 - Recharging - How You Doin?
How are you? No really, how are you doing? Has anybody asked you that recently – and meant it? Does anyone care? Does God care? These days it’s easy to believe that everybody’s out for themselves and no one cares about each other. Today we’re going to talk about that most precious part of you – the very essence of who you are. Scripture has something to say about how valuable we are. |

August 16 - Recharging - Don't Be a Worrywart!
What are you worried about today? Your health, the health of a loved one? Finances? Sending your kids back to school? Politics? So much worry. It’s exhausting! And it’s not how we are meant to live. In this sermon, we look at how faith not only sustains us in worrisome times, but eases our minds as it gives us confidence in the future. |

August 9 - Recharging - Take Care of Yourself
Are you tired of feeling tired? Drained? Depleted? Do you, like so many of us, have a love/hate relationship with your body? When life gets crazy our bodies are often the first thing to be neglected. We drop the exercise routine, we go for the fast, over-processed food and the results are not good. This week we look at what scripture has to say about our relationship with our bodies and how that relates to our relationship with God. |

August 2 - Recharging - The Quarantine 15
Businesses are closed and going out is not advisable, but it appears that our refrigerator doors are wide open. We were a nation struggling with obesity before, and the problem has only gotten worse. How do we get this under control? Does God care what we choose to eat? Scripture has some real-life guidance for us as we look at our relationship to food and what it has to do with God. |
