Its Perfectly Ridiculous
Of all the holidays people celebrate, Easter must surely be one of the strangest. Consider what we are celebrating-a man being raised from the dead. Historically, this has been hard for many people to accept. But, the evidence is there. The power of God not only raised Jesus Christ from the dead, but by that same power has brought many others from death to life. Key Verses: 1Cor 15:1-8, Acts 17:23-34, Acts 26:6-24, Mat 27:62-66, John 11:17ff, Lk 17:11-17, Mk 5, 1Cor 3:4-7

Genuine Faith in Salvation and Suffering Part 1
The Apostle Peter reminds us that we have a great source of hope because God has promised a pure, eternal inheritance for those who believe in Him. This great inheritance has been secured for us because Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose from the grave to prove beyond a doubt that He was in fact God in the flesh. The historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is rock solid and we can put our trust in the God who made it happen. Fixing our thoughts on the hope that we have in heaven will help us to endure the suffering that we go through in this life.

Change the World... one life at a time
God has always had a voice! Even in the darkest days of human history, there has been a “faithful remnant” of His people who continued to hope, continued to trust, continued to pray and continued to walk in the steps of the Master. There may be days that we are tempted to give up the fight, to pack in our efforts to see the world become a better place…but today is not that day! As we head into a new calendar year, God is calling us, perhaps like never before to champion and leverage all the resources He has placed in our hands, to be used for the transformation of our world! Are you up for the challenge? Key Passage: Luke 3:4-6

How To Keep Cynicism From Stealing Your Faith
God used Joseph, an average man with no influence and a questionable reputation to do one of the greatest things ever in human history. He nurtured, mentored and deployed God's son into the world.

My "Adams Family" Tree
As familiar as we have become with the basic elements of the Christmas story, there are also a number of "stories behind the story" that have never made the big screen ... radically inclusive and/or exclusive stories taking place in the shadows. Each one carries major implications for how we approach this story, and how we approach the Christ. This weekend we're going to pull back the veil with Matthew as he makes some startling revelations about Jesus' family tree. Breaking with tradition, Matthew chooses to include some highly questionable characters in his list of Jesus' ancestors, and in doing so, I believe he opens the door wide for some of us to walk through ... crazy family trees and all! These are some "grandma stories" you'll never see in a Children's Christmas pagent! Key Passages: 2 Corinthians 5:19 & Psalm 103:12

On the Shoulders of Giants
As we look back in history, we should be challenged AND encouraged by the godly example of so many who have gone before us! As we seek to build the kingdom of God in our day – we do so – "on the shoulders of giants!" Hebrews 11 tells us that the "world was not worthy of them!" Will history say the same of us? During these next few weeks, we are going to be looking together at the mission we believe God has called us to live out in our city and region. As we talk of the impact He would have us to have on the world around us, I pray that you will be personally challenged to step into His call on your life. There are two basics that anchor everything we do: Loving People... And Following Jesus! Key Passage: Hebrews 11:13 & 38

When History is Made

Jeremiah's Time and Our Times
Jeremiah wasn't just a bullfrog, he was the weeping prophet of God. Who was this man and why was he weeping? What impact did he have when he was alive? How does this apply today? Duane sets the scene by giving some background information about Jeremiah's times in relation to ours.

History
Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we no longer need a temple, priest, or sacrifice to come to him. We can come to him just as we are because of his atoning sacrifice for our sin.
