Psalm 23 is often thought of as the psalm that offers comfort to those who are “walking through the valley of the shadow of deathâ€. But it’s not just a psalm for the dying. It is a psalm for the living – and it offers a timely call for us to follow and trust Jesus as our Shepherd in the New Year.

Unstoppable Pt. 11 - A Faithless People's Faithful God
The overarching theme of the Bible, from cover to cover, is that God is faithful when his people are unfaithful. Time and time again, despite humanity's repeated wanderings and rebellion, God demonstrates his heart to forgive and lead his people, even when they choose to leave him.

HOW DO WE LOSE it? HOW DO WE GET it BACK?
HOW DO WE LOSE it? HOW DO WE GET it BACK? Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 When we meet, is it present? How can we tell? Do first time attenders experience it ? Can it be programmed into our gatherings? Where can I buy it ? If it doesn’t show …well, why not? WHAT is it anyhow? What’s the “slippery slope†to losing IT? (Vs. 7-11) 1. The tendency to cling to the secure and familiar even when the familiar leads eventually to our undoing. (death) 2. Being drawn to the external code (law) which kills - it makes external demands without giving inward power for obedience. How can we be in danger of losing IT? (Verse 12-15) 1. By substituting performance for anointing. 2. By replacing ministry with programs. 3. By trading resources for passion. 4. By being so busy doing the work of God that we drift from God. 5. By believing we can create IT instead of spiritually birthing IT. 6. By playing safe rather than living by faith. Do you know how to get IT back? (Verse 16-18) 1. You might need to start with the confession, I’ve lost IT! 2. You’ve got to be thirsty for the Spirit that brings freedom. 3. You’ve got to invite Jesus to get in your face. 4. You polish the mirror - He will bring change.

Sharing Our Stories of Faith With Others--Galatians #6
How can we as a church better focus our lives toward those who are outside of the faith on a daily basis? First, we must ask good questions with genuine interest and concern. Next, we must learn to communicate our stories of faith more effectively. God will continue to use us to be a blessing in the lives of others as we sharpen those skills.

Living in the Realm of Grace - Galatians #5
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules†or “fit the mold†but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.
