Pastor Tim turns to Romans for Memorial Day Weekend as we continue our 52 week journey through 52 Verses from 52 Books!
As Pastor Tim takes us to Matthew 24 for our new message series on the End Times, we need to think of two risks we face when dealing with the future: apathy and obsession. In contrast to these, Jesus instructs us on how to have the right mindset about the future.
Jim Krenning takes us to the Epistle of James to think about how sin affects our testimony and how faithfulness can point people to Jesus.
Are we satisfied with the way things are? Maintaining the status quo keeps us in the crowd - Jesus calls us out of the crowd into discipleship of crazy faith. When we do this we commit to counting the cost and giving it all over to him.
The Bible says we should care for the poor, but also suggests limits on what we do. How do we understand that balance so we can be Christ-like to those around us?
Generosity starts where sacrifice begins. As challenging as it may be to accept, how we use our money is our reflection of our heart. Jesus asked his disciples to consider the Widow, in Mark 12:41-44, as an example of what crazy generosity looked like. There are opportunities for us also to join God in living out a blessed generous life!
This week, we turn to Acts for hope as we are each called to carry on God’s Mission.
Pastor Tim continues our series in Proverbs, considering what the Proverbs tell us about whom we should spend time around.
This week, we turn to Zephaniah to think of God’s plans for the future — and how they give us hope as we answer His call to do the right things in the present.
Our culture, tired of injustices, is saying, “Enough prayers. More actions.” While action is always important, the Persistent Widow, in Luke 18:1-8, reminds us that change must always starts with praying like a crazy person. Prayer aligns our heart with Jesus’. Before we jump into action, we need to make sure our hearts are aligned with his.
Join us for a celebratory conclusion to the Spring Season at FaithTree, wrapping up our series on Romans 8 and God’s inseparable love! You don’t want to miss this!
Pastor Brad considers how we need to focus on God’s wisdom and not the wisdom of our own eyes.
How important is our integrity in daily life to God? Is it really necessary?
Jim Krenning shares from 3 John this week, calling us to think about the testimony of our lives.
The wisdom of the world says: “Get ahead at all costs.” In Mark 10:35-45, James and John tried that when they asked Jesus for a promotion: “When you take your throne, can we have thrones on each side of you?”. Jesus confronted their worldly attitudes by teaching them a crazy strategy for success: Instead of “Get ahead at all costs” Jesus told them to “Serve no matter the cost.”
As we wrap up “alive,” we find that the resurrection speaks to more than just us having a body again: it speaks to restoration for the world.
We turn this week to Colossians, where we consider worldly philosophies and how they are different from wisdom we learn in the world.
What does it mean to be resurrected? We have lots of ideas, but are they what God is actually promising? Join Pastor Tim tonight as we consider that question.
Does the Bible’s prophecies of the end times tell us anything in our present situations? Join Pastor Tim as he considers that as we turn to Joel this week.
God uses unconventional tactics and the most unlikely people in his story. We each have a part to play with the hand we’ve been given. Are you ready to step up into the situation God has in you or are you just praying for a new hand?
