Bold Steps
Do you ever feel a little stuck? How about a lot stuck? As we seek God he wants us to grow and even multiply. This journey can seem overwhelming when you’re stuck but getting unstuck starts with a single step. Let’s talk about taking steps together, starting where you are.
Interlocking Pieces – 1 John 5:10-21
This week we fit in the last few verses in the book of 1st John. How does everything fit together? What have we learned through this book and how should we change?
Who do you trust? – 1 John 4
Who do you trust? Paul discusses what 1 John has to say about the claims and influences of the world and our attitude toward them.
Christmas Presents
Christmas presents are fun for a while but then we tire of them. What do we really need this year? Let’s talk about some presents that really last.
The Antichrist – 1 John 2:18-29
John sees his readers as in danger of being deceived by opponents to Christ. What can we learn and apply from this passage? Let’s talk about it on Sunday. See you there!
Loving God and Not the World
1 John 2:15-27 The series on 1st John continues this week with a call to love God with everything. Does something have to give for that to happen?
When we sin – 1 John 1:4-2:2
1 John 1:4 – 2:2I mess up sometimes and so do you. What happens next? Let’s figure out what John has to teach us about this.
Collision Course: Zephaniah 2
This is not a drill. Let’s take the warning signs seriously and work to stave off the hum drum attitude that creeps in when we end up waiting longer than expected. Zephaniah has some attitudes to cultivate for everyone. Let’s go through them together on Sunday.
What Good is a Pastor?
After discussing “What Good is the Bible” and “What Good is the Church” it seems like we should talk about church leadership for a week. Plus we’ve got an exciting announcement about future plans at Living Hope.
