We are starting a new series this weekend called Intervention. The series is based on the Old Testament book of Jonah. Jonah is great drama. It involves a man on the run, life-threatening situations, difficult decisions, and a surprise ending – and yes, a big fish! Most important, this little book (four chapters) has some profound things to say about a God who, out of his great love for us, is willing to “intervene” in our lives. Wherever you are in your own spiritual journey, we’re convinced you’ll find hope and help from Jonah.
We’ve all made some pretty dumb decisions in our lives. For most of us there are chapters in the past we would like to rewrite. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to reverse the bad decisions of the past. But there is certainly no reason to repeat them either. Join us for a 4-part series entitled “Shortcuts” which focuses our attention on one question that has the power to fool proof our decision making from this point forward.
Love, the word so ubiquitous in our culture that it has lost much of its meaning. We love everything – our kids, our house, our new car, our favorite team, Starbucks coffee. What does it mean when we say we love something or when someone says they love us? What does love really look like? The advent (coming) of Christ into the world 2,000 years ago reminds us that love has a name – and his name is Jesus.
Sex is everywhere. It’s on TV, in movies, in the grocery store on magazine racks, and it’s all over the internet. It’s no surprise sex can be tempting. Students are constantly bombarded with mixed messages about sex. In this series, we’ll look at what God says about sexuality and how he intended it to be.
Were you a band geek in high school, or didn’t make the final cut for the team? Are you haunted by the pain of rejections? Secretly, down deep in your heart, are you afraid to love and that you don’t measure up and deserve God’s love?
