Dinner With Jesus Week 4 - April 2, 2023 Glenn Barteau

In Luke 22, Jesus establishes something new. He shares a vision of a world that starts with Him now and goes on for all eternity. His promise of a relationship with Him doesn’t begin “someday” - we can be in a relationship with Him now. Jesus is saying during The Last Supper, “I’m the one. You can find forgiveness, grace, and rest in me and it’s for all of you.”

Dinner With Jesus Week 3 - Ryan Kramer, March 26th, 2023

We get to choose in this life if we step into the opportunities to help tell God’s story. God wants to partner with us. We all have an audience that knows us and what we’re about. We may feel we’re lacking in some areas, but God can use whatever we bring or don’t bring to the table, which we see reflected in Luke 9. It may be worthwhile to ask what we want others to see from us. 

Dinner With Jesus - Week Two - March 19, 2023 - Stacie Bartels

During a pivotal dinner with religious leaders of the day in Luke 11, Jesus offers observations on living life without being bound up by religious rules, requirements, and judgments. 1) The condition of your heart and mind matters 2) See the person sitting across from you as they truly are and 3) Your religion shouldn’t be so heavy that others can’t carry it. Jesus cautions us not to focus on our outside religious appearance because that can move us away from the love of God, which can then have a ripple effect on those around us. 

Dinner With Jesus - Week One - March 12, 2023 - Ryan Kramer

Someone needs a seat at your table. This doesn’t mean making room for them at your dinner table specifically, but it can. It also means making room for them in your life. We see in Luke 14 that Jesus heals a man whom society in that day would have ignored. He shows that man that he had a place with Jesus. We always have a seat at God’s table. No matter what. What are we doing to show others the same seat is for them too? 

The Gospel is Good News - March 5, 2023 - Glenn Barteau

One of the most important roles of the church in the world is to share the good news. However, sometimes it can feel as if the good news has to be presented in a certain way to actually land as good news with everyone. There’s a story in Luke that illustrates how Jesus is truly the embodiment of good news and how we can share it with others in a way that accepts and loves people right where they’re at.

Finding Faith and Building Grit - Week Three - February 19, 2023 - Glenn Barteau

David's story has many ups and downs, but even during the low moments, he finds a way to pull himself up. When we go through difficult times and come out the other side do we ever feel alone and isolated in what we just experienced? The key is to not “numb out,” but face it, process it, and try to connect to your life's larger story. God has brought you through before and He’ll continue to be with you. 

Finding Faith and Building Grit - Week Two - February 12, 2023 - Glenn Barteau

All of us go through difficulties, challenges, and hard times. Not one of us has experienced a trouble-free life. However, we can choose to see difficulty as a teacher. Through adversity, we learn perseverance and how God pulls us through time and again. It can build up our faith in new ways and we can face the next thing with more grit. 

Finding Faith and Building Grit - Week One - February 5, 2023 - Glenn Barteau

This series will give you tangible ways to find grit-filled faith. Grit, in this case, means the resiliency to come back from something and be ready to face the next challenge. This happens in partnership with changing your lens on how you may view God. We should strive to cultivate a strong faith, but what practical steps can we take to pursue that?
