How many times have you heard some Christian say, "Where two or three are gathered?" as a way to describe the presence of Jesus in their midst. I believe that Jesus didn't say that as a secret formula to have his presence felt and our prayers answered. Join us as we discuss the truth behind this passage and what it means in the power of relationships.
Who is your best friend? Chances are, just the mention of the words best friend conjure up great memories. Why is friendship important and how does the mission of God depend on friendships to be the light in the world?
There is nothing wrong with large churches. Many of you have belonged to one at one point or another in your life. There is a problem with a culture that believes their mission is propelled in a healthy way by large church gatherings alone. The answer to that problem? Seek to become smaller (and we're not calling for splitting a church to do that!). The solution to the large problem is to belong to small groups within a larger church. Relationships unlock everything. They promote spiritual depth, joy, peace, comfort and evangelism.
Am I even qualified to be a Christian? To belong to a Church or a Small Group? Insecurity is something that continues to haunt our steps. Just as citizens in this good ol' United States our people in their own eyes don't measure up to some mysterious standard that is flaunted all over the place. But what if our brokenness and insecurities is the very thing that qualifies us to "belong". Join us as Jeremy Kughn teaches about the very thing that should be our refuge.
When welcoming anyone into our homes, it goes without saying that we prepare for our guests to be as comfortable as they can. When welcoming anyone into our church, do we go to the same extremes? In this lesson, Jeremy explores the essential component of what it truly means to practice hospitality.
Times have changed. The importance for community hasn't. It is now more essential than ever for churches to ensure that members are finding community in order to share their lives fulfilling God's design for spiritual growth. Join us today as Jeremy discusses the importance of Community.
When was the last time you came away from church wondering whether or not you gave your all? Today, we not only talk about the specific attention Israel gave to worship but how different we are in regards to erecting monuments and creating spiritual moments we will never forget.
I'm sure you've heard the phrase "Living It Up". It usually constitutes living a lifestyle that takes full advantage of every opportunity no matter what! This of course includes all sorts of sinful behaviors and choices that eventually lead to hurting those people and others their decisions involve. Today we turn the phrase and Live It "Up" in a way that pleases God and is worshipful.
In order to live a life that could be defined as worshipful, we need to fully comprehend two things. First be aware of our self and the where that leads us, but more importantly be aware of the Spirit and how sensitivity to His leading makes all the difference in the world.
Sometimes we are so focused on seeing the needs around us, we need to step back and create the Need to See in opportunities, in ourselves, and others. If the world had more compassion think of all the great things we could do!
