Dangerous Prayers part 2: Break Me

For our second Dangerous Prayer, "Break me", we looked at two stories about broken things from Mark 14. We asked the question: "What if praying safe prayers like 'Bless us' & 'Keep us safe' is the equivalent to praying 'Don't let me grow.'" We're looking at how, many times, we grow more when we are broken.

 

Dangerous Prayers part 1: Search Me

We are in the habit of praying safe prayers: "Bless me" "Help me" "Keep me safe." God wants us to go deeper - to be more dangerous with our prayers. 
Our first dangerous prayer, "Search me", is taken from King David's Psalm 139, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Pray First Part 4: Prayer is the Key

Prayer is the key… it’s the answer… it’s central to everything we do, everything we talk about. Central to our relationship with God – but specifically, central to living out our faith! This week we take a 30,000ft view of prayer throughout the Bible and how we can apply it to our lives.

Pray First Part 3: Practical Guide to Prayer

Guest speaker Kevin Senapatiratne shares some insight on prayer and how we can bring that connection with God into our everyday lives.

Pray First part 2: Remaining in Jesus

Jesus did many miraculous and amazing things. He wasn't able to do these things just because he was the Son of God, but because of his connection with the Father. In John 15, Jesus shares a great illustration using a vine, the branches, and the fruit on the branches to describe why it is so important to "remain" in Him.

No Offense part 2: The Offended

Being the OFFENDED can be just as unhealthy and wrong as it is to be the OFFENDER.
But there's good news: You can choose if you are going to be offended. "SAY WHAT?" 
Join us as we talk about one of the biggest plagues that is attacking our country today.

No Offense part 1: The Offender

We live in a world where people seem to be offended more easily than ever before. It is compounded with the ability to share our "expert opinion" anytime we want. What would it look like if we were more worried about being loving than we were about being right?

Advent part 3: Joy

The type of joy the world talks about is different from the joy the Bible talks about. This is the perfect time of year to figure out how to have the joy that Jesus wants for us.

Advent part 2: Peace

The concept of peace is found throughout the Bible. Jesus talks about it many times and the apostle Paul starts every one of his letters with it. So, why is it important and how do we get it?
