Sermons on Growth
Be Bold
As we begin a new series on being “Deeply Committed,” let’s be bold! Being bold is less about my having courage and more about trusting God’s faithfulness. Key Text: Matthew 14:22-32 ESV
How To Get Unstuck
As we begin the Lenten journey to the cross together, let’s prepare ourselves for this journey. Let’s not be too quick to race to the Resurrection without learning both how to lay down unnecessary weights and how to deal with sin in our lives. If we are truly going to make it to Easter with Jesus, we need to get unstuck and make the trek through Jesus’ life, teaching, suffering, and death with Him. Key Texts: Matthew 16:24 NRSV, Hebrews 12:1-2…
Recovery
Recovery from difficulties, sickness, tragedy, or bad decisions requires a level of commitment and dedication that is life changing. Recovery also requires submission and dependence on something or someone outside of your self. Regardless of what you are recovering from, we are all in recovery from selfishness and sinfulness. Join in as we talk about the need and process for recovery. Key Texts: Psalm 23, Isaiah 38:16 ESV
New Beginnings
Now, more than ever, we need to begin afresh. Things may not be as we want, but there is a great need for us to restart and begin again. The Good News is that God is an expert at new beginnings and fresh starts. In this worship theme, you will be encouraged to invite God to begin a new work in you as you start fresh. Key Text: Isaiah 43:18-21 NRSV
Life GPS
Having a Life GPS would be great when we find ourselves in those moments where we need to find direction. While we can’t find where we are or where we are headed as easily as pulling up our phone and opening the Maps app, we can find direction spiritually through growth, prayer, and service. Key Text: Colossians 1:9-10 NLT
