At Praise & Worship, we have learned much this year about what it might sound like to share our faith. Today we are looking at what it might LOOK like for us to do this...to be witnesses to what the Lord has done for us. You are invited!
Church 1.0: CALLING
What is your calling? Each of us has different callings, to be sure. But there is a foundation to each of them. No matter if we are the baker, the brick-layer, or the candlestick maker, we have an underlying calling. No matter if we are son or daughter, father or mother, sister or brother, we have an underlying calling. Join us as Pastor Dar leads us in growing in that underlying calling: “Our Calling — Co-missioned by Jesus!”
Church 1.0: BLESSED
Have you ever wondered WHAT you need to bring with you if you were to follow Jesus? Today’s message is about answering that question as we read Matthew 5:2-16 and several companion texts. We are zooming in on Matthew 5:3 in particular and discovering exactly what we have to offer the Lord and what it will look like for us to be counting our blessings!
Church 1.0: WORDS
The earliest church grew through the sharing of WORDS…specifically, through God’s Words! Those words of “the Scriptures” were the words of (what we call) the Old Testament! The apostles would REASON with and PROVE from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah! Join us as we study this and learn for ourselves how to emulate CHURCH 1.0 in our midst as God works through us to proclaim forgiveness and restoration for all who would hear!
Church 1.0: POWER
Church 1.0: VALUE
Church 1.0: VISION
Church 1.0: MISSION
Encouragevent: ONE PURPOSE
Encouragevent: ONE DAY
Encouragevent: ONE PEOPLE
The Season of Advent is about waiting on Jesus to arrive! We wait for Christmas, yes, but we truly wait for Him to COME AGAIN! But how? How do we wait? What do we do and how do we do it? Join us for today's study of John 10 and Galatians 3 where we discover that He came to make ONE PEOPLE and He does do by bringing PEACE...a PEACE that we now carry with us wherever we go!
Encouragevent: ONE HOPE
Today we start the Advent season, learning about Jesus SECOND Advent! We begin at the end because the end is a new beginning, delivered through HOPE. This is because God’s plan, all along, has been to rescue humanity from a prison of our own making. And His final rescue is COMING, which is the meaning of ADVENT, and we are called to ENCOURAGE one another with these words!
The Exodus
Can you imagine being there? Hurrying out of the place where you had been enslaved for your entire life only to see an impossible path before you all while your captors are pursuing you from behind? This is where we pick up the story in Exodus 14 where the Lord invites us to SEE His salvation! To learn to not SEE him in our immediate circumstances but rather to SEE Him in His Promises and to trust that He will indeed do what He says He will do! Join us for this powerful study of Exodus 14…
The Anointed
The Angel
When we read about “THE ANGEL OF THE LORD” in the Old Testament, we need to know: Just who IS this guy? Spoiler Alert: JESUS! But wait, what does this mean for us and why is it important? These are the questions we are setting out to answer today and those answers contain some important surprises that will help each of us tremendously on our journey of following HIM!
The Mercy Seat
Where do heaven and earth fully overlap? Why is it important to know the answer to this question? It could be said that we cannot fully understand just who Jesus is without reading Leviticus, so today, as we arrive at part six of our journey of discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, we will do just that!
The Temple
What is the Temple? Or, should we ask: Who is the Temple? Today as our resident historian Bill Crosby leads us in a study of the Old Testament story of the Temple, we will look at the original context of whose idea it was to build the temple in the first place and how that building took place. And then we will see what God did after that! You are invited!
The Holy Place
Are you holy? How does one become holy? What does it take? Isn’t the whole idea to become holy so that you can go to heaven? Today we are asking these questions together and discovering what Scripture has to say about all of these things. You will be surprised at what God’s Word has to say to you as we enter THE HOLY PLACE!
