The Horror of a Life Against God - ENGAGE #6
In this series, we will study Daniel 1-6. There are many parallels between the situation Daniel faced and our situation today. Like Daniel, we work and live among a great variety of gods--not only those of other formal religions, but also the gods of achievement, independence, knowledge, pleasure, and ideology. In a religiously diverse culture which is at best indifferent and at worst hostile to faith in the one true God, what role should Christ-followers play in society? Rather than isolating ourselves or rejecting our world, we want to ENGAGE our world as people who trust in a powerful God, make positive contributions to society, and bring hope to others. If you've ever wondered how Monday-Saturday were related to Sunday, this series is for you.

The Grand Invitation
Luke 14:15-25 What are the real dangers of pride? Are the negative consequences of arrogance limited to this life? Or can our faulty assumptions about ourselves keep us from finding a place at God's table for all eternity? Jesus, the master story-teller, gives the answer in the parable of The Grand Invitation.

Humble Worship in Response
It is challenging to accept undeserved grace. This is partly because we, as humans, are not very good at receiving. We want to earn what we get.
