Jesus Himself tells us we should not worry. It’s easier said than done. We worry about the challenges of today, the uncertainties of tomorrow, and the consequences of our past. The good news is Jesus did not just tell us to stop worrying. He gives us a perspective that will make it possible.
Today in our Storm Proof series we look at the losses of life. Jeremiah saw his beloved nation of Israel destroyed along with the temple to his God and his way of life. The book in the Bible called Lamentations is the story of Jeremiah’s grief over loss and his hope in the Lord.
Today we begin a new series about dealing with the storms of life. At the end of His sermon on the mount, Jesus tells us how we can withstand any storm that comes our way.
Welcome to Easter Sunday! You may have come in today starved for hope. God may seem silent and the problems insurmountable. That’s the way it felt on Saturday before that first Easter Sunday. What can we learn when God is silent and what hope does the Risen Christ bring?
Today we look at Friday of Eight Days That Changed the World. On Friday, Jesus was crucified for the sins of world. Today we will walk through the events of Friday and “survey the wondrous cross.”
On Thursday of Holy Week, Jesus would spend his last evening with his disciples before his arrest and crucifixion. During the evening, he shared a Passover meal which marked the beginning of a new covenant. As we share the Lord’s Supper today, we will look at why this powerful moment in history has implications for us today and in the future.
On Wednesday of the week leading to the cross, Jesus spent the day in prayer and preparation for what Thursday and Friday would hold. Today, rather than teaching about prayer, we want to spend our time actually praying. Let’s grow in prayer as we practice it together.
We live in a religious world. It comes in a variety of expressions. The religious create a scorecard of their own liking of “do’s” and “don’ts”. Jesus came into a religious world with a different plan. He came that we might a relationship with God. Jesus refocused things on what really matters.
In a world of religious rituals and routines filled at best with “bored-again” believers, is it possible to experience the glory of God? When we think of worship, do we think of style and preferences or being in the presence of God? Are we merely yawning at the things of God?
Today we begin a series that will take us to Easter Sunday. The series will look at the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday. This morning we are going to start with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As Jesus entered Jerusalem there was a great excitement and anticipation for who the people wanted Him to be. It turns out Jesus’ agenda wasn’t exactly what they were expecting.
