All in the Family
Part 6 | Building a Legacy
September 17, 2023 • Pastor Marty Scales • Ecclesiastes 3:9–14
If you were asked to complete this sentence how would you do it? “There is nothing better in life for us human beings than this (fill in the blank).” How do you think the Creator would answer this same question? This Sunday we will look at the essential elements of a blessed life according to the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Part 5 | Forgiveness
September 10, 2023 • Pastor Travis Marsh • Matthew 18:21–35
Jesus uses the parable of the unforgiving servant to highlight the significance of unconditional grace and God's expectation that we forgive others. Just as our heavenly Father wipes away our unpayable sin debt through His Son, He calls us to forgive those who wrong us. Failing to forgive not only contradicts the gospel, but also burdens our hearts and often deepens our disconnection from God. Join us this Sunday to explore the vital topic of forgiveness.
Part 4 | Communication
September 3, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Timmons • Matthew 5:21–24
All people, families, and churches are influenced by communication. What we say and how we say it matters. What others say and how they say it affects us. Words are incredibly powerful. They can be a spring of fresh water or a cesspool of toxic waste. Communication can be what holds a community together, or what tears it apart. So we need to think deeply, speak carefully, and be guided by God and his communication with us - the Scriptures.
Part 3 | Raising Children
August 27, 2023 • Pastor Travis Marsh • Deuteronomy 6:1–9
Parenting is an amazing and challenging adventure. Moms and dads go through many ups and downs as they raise their children, trying to give them the best in life. The Bible, in both the Old and New Testament, gives special guidance on how to be a good parent. At the same time, it talks about how we're like children to God, and He's like a parent to us. Come join us to explore how these ideas connect, and learn not only how to be a better parent but also how to grow closer to Christ through the important task of parenting.
Part 2 | God's Family through Jacob
August 20, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Timmons • Genesis 48:8–20
God started his covenant family through an incredibly flawed man, Jacob. He was a deceiver. He was a striver. But eventually he came to see that God had unexpectedly given him his blessing because the family of God is unexpectedly blessed. Eventually Jacob came to embrace that in God's family things work differently.
Part 1 | The Mission of Family
August 13, 2023 • Zakk Uhler • Matthew 28:16–20
The church's mission sends us out into the world to preach the gospel and grow as disciples. So how can we apply this mission to our families? How can we make our marriages and the way we raise our children align with Christ's command? Come join us this Sunday, and let's explore how to bring the family into this exciting mission!
