Christ Was Not His Last Name - Week 2 - April 3, 2022 - Glenn Barteau

Do you ever have moments where you feel something weighing on you? We can overcome that by seeking and trusting the power of Christ around us, but also how it works within us. We can engage this idea by asking questions through prayer. If we continue on this path and practice, becoming more vulnerable and honest, we’ll be able to ask: “Change it and change me.” 

Christ Was Not His Last Name - Week 1 - Mar 27, 2022 - Glenn Barteau

When we think about Jesus being fully God and fully man we often fill in the gaps of our knowledge about God with our own concerns, worries, and issues. However, If we look at Jesus - we know who God is and we don’t have to attempt to figure it out on our own. We can trust that the person of Jesus we see in scripture and are transformed by is also the God who loves us. 

The Fear of God - Mar 20, 2022 - Glenn Barteau

What is the relationship between the fear of God and the love of God? What do I do with the fear of God? How does it relate to the idea of the love of God?

Centered - Week 2 - Mar 6, 2022 - Ryan Kramer

If we are going to be Christ centered then we have to see Jesus as our rabbi 

Centered - Week 1 - Mar 6, 2022 - Glenn Barteau

As followers of Christ, we often want to live in the choices framed as clear good vs. bad. However, if that’s the place we exist in, we can miss the opportunity of what a relationship with God offers when we’re Christ-centered. Spiritual maturity comes with trusting the place we have as God’s children, looking for Jesus in everyday situations, and asking what our own hearts are telling us.

The Kingdom - Week 3 - Feb. 27, 2022 - Seth Kreimeyer-Kelly

Throughout this series, we've been looking at parables that Jesus uses to illustrate what the kingdom of God is like. Within each, we gain an understanding of what it's like to be in a relationship with God. In this final week, we explore why the kingdom of God is generous, but not necessarily fair. 

The Kingdom - Week 2 - Feb. 20, 2022 - Glenn Barteau

How do we get past being defined by what we're saved from? There are two parables in Matthew where Jesus further describes what the kingdom of God is like. It's a treasure that is worth seeking, but how do we embrace it without letting go of what we're saved from and stepping into what we're saved to?

The Kingdom Week 1 - Feb. 13, 2022 - Glenn Barteau

The way to be relationally right with God is by trusting Him and having faith. This means letting go and allowing the power of God to work in us from within. The kingdom of God means reaching past following religious law and instead pursuing planting the kingdom of God in our hearts. This allows us to flourish and also nurture others in the process. 
 

What Made Jesus Angry - Feb. 6, 2022 - Ryan Kramer

The anger of Jesus is consistently in response to moments that religion pushes others away. Jesus chose to use His anger to make space for those who want to be close to Him. In this life, we're going to get angry, but is it being used for separation or are we using that energy towards restoration?
