Free to Engage Culture
For years we have heard of “culture wars.” The problem with that phrase is it creates an unhealthy “us against them” mentality. What we find in the Bible is a reminder that we are not to run from culture, but we are to engage the culture and be difference makers. We will consider how to do that from God’s Word today.WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Free to Be Real (3 John)
Authenticity. It is one of the key terms of our age. It is a term that focuses on being true to who one is, being genuine, being real. But how does one know if they are truly being authentic? Today we will look at an often neglected letter of the New Testament and see some characteristics of authentic living. - May 12, 2019Free To Let Go (Ephesians 4:25-32)
Free To Let Go (Ephesians 4:25-32)
It is Mother’s Day. The life of a mom is often characterized by letting go. Mom’s are invested in teaching and training their children to grow and one day leave the “nest” and strike out on their own. But it is not an easy process. There are things we each need to release as we grow in our relationship with Christ. Today we will learn that there is great freedom and great reward in learning to let go. - May 5, 2019Free to Serve (Luke 10:25-37)

Who did you help this coming week? Who did you ignore that could have used a helping hand? Coming to the aid of another person in need is always, time consuming, possibly financially costly, and rarely with immediate reward. In this most familiar of all stories we are each brought face to face with the question, “Who is my neighbor?” We are indirectly faced with a deeper question: “Do I love others in the same way God loves me?” - Apr 28, 2019Free to Change (Colossians 3:1-17)
Free to Change (Colossians 3:1-17)
I can’t change you. You can’t change me. All attempts to the contrary will end up in frustration and potentially broken relationships. But God gives me all I need to be able to make changes in my own life. We all want to grow and improve and as we live in resurrection reality we find that real change is possible. We are free to change, but we still need to have a desire to change. Making positive changes in my life is my responsibility.
