Focal Point - The Church of Pergamum- Revelation 2:12-17

In this passage, Jesus praises the church in Pergamum. They are living in challenging situations where the enemy is lurking. However, as they are working hard to remain true to Christ, some of their teaching has gotten blurred. They have confused culture with faith and have blended contemporary thought with the word of God.

Jesus called them to decipher truth from error and He calls us to do the same. In a time when it is difficult to stand for truth, the church is called to live a biblical lifestyle in action, thought and feeling.

Focal Point – The Church of Smyrna- Revelation 2:8-11

This was a crushed church, but its fragrance was beautiful to Jesus. Although they had heart and passion, they were experiencing testings and struggles of various kinds. There was the testing of affliction, of poverty and of slander. This church represents the challenges of so many Christians even in the church. We try to be the church but we get bombarded with testings causing many to give up on the church.

Jesus says two things to the church.  He says to fear not and to be faithful.  We can have no fear and find faith because He is present.  A living growing church and a living growing Christian is one who is able to endure the challenges and testings of life.  Jesus challenges us to overcome.  What is it you need to overcome?

Focal Point – The Church of Ephesus – Revelation 2:1-7

This was a thriving church of tens of thousands but they were losing their first love. They had mistaken busyness for Christ for a love of Christ.  Too often we go through the motions and do the things we need to and miss the real heart of why we are doing it. Should we lose that first love, we lose everything.  In this passage, Jesus tells us the way we regain a love for Him.

Duct Dynasty – Singles

This weekend we will focus in on what Proverbs has to say about sticky singleness. Regardless of what your position is in life, there is something in the book of Proverbs for you.  If you are married, what Solomon has to say may help you understand the root of some of the conflicts that you experience.  If you are separated or divorced, what Solomon says may help you understand a little better some of the things that may have gone wrong.  If you are a single adult who has chosen to remain single, these principles may help you give wise counsel to another.  If you are a grandparent or parent, you may need to take notes or get the cd and save it for passing on wise counsel to your own children.

Duct Dynasty – Friendships

Most of us can look back at something we have said or done and realize the negative impact it had on a friendship. If only we hadn’t said that. If only we had thought about things. If only we had done it differently.   This weekend we are going to look at several skills of listening, problem solving and communicating that will help us grow in relationships with co-workers, family and friends.

Easter 2013 Worship Set

Easter

What do you do with your doubts? And we all have them – especially about things of faith. Even Thomas, a close friend of Jesus, had serious doubts. This Easter we will explore the story of “Doubting Thomas,” who willingly brought his apprehensions to Jesus. While we may never eliminate all doubt from our lives, we can celebrate Jesus Christ, who makes our faith greater than our doubt.

Good Friday Worship Set

Good Friday

Struggling with God is a sure sign that we truly have faith. If we never struggle, our faith will never grow. Jesus’ interaction with Thomas in the Bible teaches us that doubts can be a catalyst for a deeper relationship with God.

This Good Friday we will remember that Jesus died on the cross for all our doubts, fears, guilt and shame . Our past was nailed there with Him.

Thrive – Joy vs. Duty

From the beginning, God has unleashed unparalleled generosity to His people. There is no hint that His goodness to us is a duty or an obligation. From extravagant creation to the extravagance of the cross to the pouring out of His Spirit we see how the father has lavished His love on us. Imagine if we were freed from seeing giving as a duty. Imagine if we saw it as a great investment. Imagine if we saw it as the releasing of greater generosity. Imagine if we had unleashed joy as the early church did because…no one had need among them!
