    Got Motivation?
    Nehemiah 2:11-20
     
    As Nehemiah made his way to Jerusalem and began to work on the wall, his approach was different from how others may approached. He didn’t announce with fanfare or call attention to himself. How come? Because it was his deal

    Healthy Teaching
    2 Timothy 4:1-8
     
    So many in our wayward society have rejected the idea of healthy teaching and have replaced it with ideas and concepts that bring decay, suffering, and in many ways, death. One of the challenges of the ministries that the church offers is to communicate the wellness that comes from knowing God. The truth brings mental, emotional, physical, and certainly spiritual, wellness.

    Come
    Genesis 11:1-9
     
    It’s always special to be invited to something. Invitations make people feel wanted, needed, and important. God makes it clear that He wants to be invited into your life. Is He welcome to come in?

    Our Blood Type is Be Positive
    I Thessalonians 5:16-18
     
    Growing as a Christian is a process of identifying, removing and replacing. We identify, through our study of scripture areas where we need to change. We pray for wisdom and insight on how to remove those things that need to change, and seek the Holy Spirit for the power to replace. We have had a few discussions on overcoming fear. It is not enough to overcome fear. We have to replace the fear with optimism.

    From Chaos to Order
    Isaiah 41
     
    When life bears down or we endure the adverse consequences of our actions, life can seem chaotic. It is at those times we need order. Isaiah writes at a time of impending doom. He tells us to look to the future and not despair because of our present circumstance. Rather, in our despair, look out and look up.

    You Never Know What You’ll Find When You’re Lost
    Philippians 3:12-16
     
    Every experience in life has value to the person who follows Christ. We should become skilled at interpreting and filtering all the events of our life through our faith. That allows us to take captive every attitude and action and make it obedient to Christ.

    Keeping Your Life on Course
    Romans 6:1-23
     
    The book of James refers to single-minded faith as a perquisite to not being pushed around by the winds (see James 1:5-8). As a Christian, this is always the challenge. The winds of culture are always going to blow and we are always going to be affected by those winds. We are in the middle of several cultural storms right now. Christians are to learn the skill of tacking across the wind and utilizing the power that is intrinsic in followers of Christ.

    Genesis 3:22-24
     
    Have you ever stopped to take a look at the self-improvement industry? Countless books, websites, TV shows, and health and wellness programs place their focus on creating a better life—a better you. Do these really help us deal with the hardships of life? This morning we’ll explore the biblical path to a better life.

    Q&A – Is It A Sin to Drink Alcohol?
    Question and Answer
     
    Tonight we will tackle two questions at once, asked by different people: Christians who drink say that it is ok because Jesus did, and he even created wine (John 2:1-11). So is drinking ok? What was the alcohol content? I’ve done some study on this and it is really confusing. Plus, commentaries seem to differ from each other. I am not really sure this is a qualifying question for the sermon series. Here it goes. Why is drinking a beer or alcoholic drink considered a sin among church members. I can't find a biblical reason why this is a line of thought in the church.

    Binding Isaac
    Genesis 22:7-13
     
    Abraham offered up his son Isaac and I can hardly wrap my head around it. Now that I have a son, an only son, whom I love. There's a lot more to this story than we catch because we often recoil when we read instead of drinking deeply from the text. As we dig into this story, it will take us to the foot of the cross. May your Memorial Day weekend dwell on the most profound sacrifice ever offered.

    Q&A – Consider Job
    1 Corinthians 10:13
     
    Question and Answer: As an effort to be attentive to our time on Sunday evening, and also do justice to this *very* important question, we will only tackle this one question this evening: 1 Corinthians 10:13 is often used to illustrate that ‘God will not give us more than we can handle.’ But it doesn’t say that. It only addressed our temptation to sin. Will God allow us to encounter circumstances greater than we can bear? (Consider Job). If that’s true, what are we supposed to do, just have hope when we’re crushed in spirit?

    Seven Easy Steps to Great Communication
    Psalm 19
     
    God is the master communicator. He has communicated His will and His love using the creation, the written Word and even His own Son. What makes his communication quality is the belief system that drives it. When we struggle with communication, it is usually not because of technique, but because of what we believe.

    Q&A – Jeremiah & Joshua
    Question and Answer
     
    The two questions we will take time to explore tonight are:
     
    1. Is Jeremiah 29:11 only contextual or can it be singled out to be used as our culture uses it - such as for graduation celebrations and as an encouragement verse? Also, I’ve noticed a difference in some versions. One used the word “prosper” and another “plans for welfare”. Very different ideas.
     
    2. A question about Joshua. He led the people all through these different cities and burned and killed everyone and everything in them basically. And I want to ask why is it okay to kill off all of those people and by God's instruction even?" These are great questions - and very timely, since our kids just finished studying Joshua for LTC!

    Carry the Load
    Galatians 6:1-10
     
    Relationships are God’s idea. By nature, they involve more than one person. God’s intent is that we can encourage, love and support one another in this journey we call life. When one walks it alone, it is difficult to bear all the challenge. When two or three walk together, they support one another and share the burden. What happens when we are in a relationship where only one person is carrying the load?
