THE GIFT

Unwrapping God's Great Gifts Of Christmas

Christmas is a season for giving gifts, and each gift we give to others is a reminder of the greatest gift God gave to the world (John 3:16). This special Christmas series will unwrap many of the gifts that God gives through His Son, Jesus Christ. We will celebrate the grace and generosity of God as the One who gives us “every good and perfect gift!”

WELCOME THE STRANGER

The Church And The Refugee Crisis

Every day, more than 32,000 men, women and children follow a trail of exile from their home country to a place of refuge. As 100,000 refugees are resettled around the world each year, a majority arrive in the United States from countries like Burma, Congo, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Iraq and Syria. What should be the church’s response to this growing crisis? How should the Christian compassionately respond in this highly controversial migration? In these two weeks, we will consider how God’s people can welcome the stranger.

SHARE

Conversations That Matter

In 1 Peter 3:15, the apostle challenges the church, "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." This is from the disciple who abandoned Jesus at His arrest. But Peter had learned the value of being ready to share what Jesus had done in him and for him. As God’s ambassadors in the world, we want to be ready to show and share the Gospel of God.

LOSING MY RELIGION

Finding Freedon in the Gospel of God

It is for freedom that Jesus has set people free. Yet, in an ironic turn, many people drift back to the bondage of religion rather than move forward in liberty through their relationship with God. This study will explore Paul’s letter to the Galatian church—and to Christians everywhere—to learn how to lose religion and find true freedom in the Gospel of God.
