Receiving the Messengers
Matthew 10: 40-42 The “least of these” are Jesus’s disciples. We will be challenged to live like status doesn’t matter, to receive God’s message/messengers, and to take good care of our “least of these” missionaries.
Serving the “Least of These”
Matthew 25: 34-40 We will see how missions is loving and serving the “least of these” and we can all be missionaries by sharing Christ’s message of love.
Communion
1 Corinthians 11: 23-29 We will explore the meaning and history of communion.
Baptism
Romans 6: 1-7 We will explore the meaning of baptism, respond to common baptism questions/misconceptions, and hopefully prompt some no pressure conversation about baptism with parents and kids.
The God Who Sees Me
Genesis 16: 13 Larry Conway, our missionary in Nairobi Kenya will be preaching.
A Blessing of Children
Psalm 127 We will focus on God giving the greatest blessings (especially children) as opposed to our hard work “earning” our blessings.
When the Son of Man Comes
Matthew 25:31–36
On Togetherness
Ecclesiastes 4: 8-12 The text starts with a sad story of a lonely isolated person who has chosen to pursue wealth, but realizes it doesn’t matter if there is no one to enjoy it with. The message will encourage us to connect, maintain relationships, and evaluate mindsets that are isolating us/making us lonely. Love/relationships is what gives life meaning.
On Work
Hebrews 6: 10-12 This Sunday we will celebrate educators and give Bibles to our 1st graders. The theme will focus on working as for the Lord, and doing good even when it’s not as seen or as appreciated as we would like . We will also be encouraged to see and appreciate the good things we see people doing around us.
On Love
1 Corinthians 13: 1-7 We will unpack this passage about love in light of issues/divisions in Corinth. We will be challenged to be a church that is known for and defined by its love. Link to full service
Travel Mercies
Psalm 121 The message and scriptures emphasized will focus on God’s goodness. We will acknowledge that the good in life doesn’t come from our planning, money, or others but ultimately from God. This is a Psalm of Ascent (as is another one we will look at) so we will also look at this from the perspective of travel.
The Strength of God
Psalm 24:7-8 We will explore what it means for God to be the “King of Glory”. In Scripture, God’s people often look to God for strength when they are weakest. But God doesn’t always show His power in ways we expect, because God’s victories usually look like defeat to the outside world. God is still powerful and fights our battles for us today.
