Who Am I?
This 8-week series will address the age old question, “Who Am I?” We are in a new era of existential angst, a fact demonstrated by the upsurge in mental health issues and in hedonism. We need to be tethered once again in our God-given identities, and all that God says about us. That will last, in a way that our other pursuits do not. Francis of Assisi was fond of praying, “God, who are you? God who am I?” Augustine said, “Know God. Know self. All will be well.” We are a mess, but we are a beautiful, God-created mess. And we can grow in our identity as the beloved of God. And that is better than the existentialism of Ecclesiastes (eat, drink, and be merry, and then you die). We are made on purpose for a purpose.

Joining Jesus on His Mission
This 7-week series will address our all-church goal of “training 40% of our church in relational practices for confidently sharing the gospel and reproducing disciples.” We will talk about how God invites us to participate with him in the Kingdom of God, here on earth, as we live with love and good deeds for all.

The Gift of Pain
This 8-9-week series will address the age old “problem of pain.” We all suffer. Some worse than others. We all experience and witness evil. Some worse than others. We live in a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). How do we make sense of it all? Could good come of it, or do we just “eat, drink, and be as merry as we can.” Nihilism can slip into our souls and it will suck us dry. In this series, we will teach and empathize and love. We will show how pain can be a gift. God uses it to draw us near to eachother, to make us more compassionate, to help us learn dependence and delayed gratification. Eventually, pain makes us bitter or better.

Prophecy Fulfilled

The Spiritual Battle
Ephesians may be the most clear letter on the theology and effects of the Gospel. The first three chapters are theological. The latter 3 chapters are applicational. In this series, we will teach how the Gospel is such great news for all that is bad today: we have a lousy sense of identity. We have lousy relationships across ethnicities. Marriages are struggling. Consciences are seared. Drunkenness prevails. The Gospel is good news for bad days.
