God: Philosophize For Yourself

We live in an age where prosperity is more valued than character and where popularity is of greater importance than integrity. Having an identity with honest character is often seen as optional or completely unfashionable. According to the Bible though, God designed us to be men and women of virtuous character. We invite you to listen to this teaching series where we will learn how our identity and character can reflect the nature of God more and more every day thus leaving a positive mark everywhere we go and with everyone with whom we interact with.

This Christmas, enjoy the weather, parties, gifts and friends but above all, enjoy the LOVE of Jesus. Make this a revolutionary Christmas as you put the needs of others before your own, much in the way that Christ did with us.

Do you remember the moment when you realized that life was not turning out the way you wanted it to? We all seem to have a "Plan A" drawn up in our minds but many times we find ourselves in the midst of an unexpected "Plan B" - we ask, "Now what and how long must I wait for this to turn around?" The truth is that we're all faced with Plan B's - we all struggle and hurt in the process of unmet expectations, fear and doubt. Our hope is that as we go through this teaching we would learn to find hope through God's Word and through the power of doing life with other people. Join us as we learn how to regain focus and hope and move past the paralysis of frustration and fear.

What is grace? It's literally getting the exact opposite of what we deserve. It's unmerited, undomesticated and scandalous acceptance. It's being let off the hook when we don't deserve it. It's a friend suspending judgment when you said and did the wrong thing. It's non-conditional and no strings attached. It's unlike anything else we encounter in life. Grace (according to the Bible) is not excusing the wrong but it is treasuring the wrong doer. Grace does not hold anything over your head. Grace hugs hookers, befriends beggars and allows us to enjoy our enemies. Grace (receiving and giving) changes everything. The sound of grace is sweet.

Most people don't know their neighbor's name, much less their fears, family history or even spiritual beliefs. Some have lived across the hall (or street) for years and have never bothered to reach out and connect. We contend that loving our neighbor is such a foreign concept that actually doing it seems downright WEIRD. In this series, we will listen to what Jesus has to say on this subject and we will also share practical ways on how we can begin loving our neighbors and how it can have a positive effect in our cities.

Everybody wants it. Everybody needs it. It has no survival value yet it adds significant value to survival. It should never remain as just a thought - it's full effect occurs only when we unpack it and put it in motion. It is love and upon acknowledgement of Jesus' great love for us our hearts melt like wax and we learn to love Him and others.
