Those who follow the one true God aren’t immune from tough times. Sometimes it’s not our fault and other times it is. Either way, God is still NEAR and God is still GOOD, even when life gets MESSY. And it’s during those times that God gets our attention.
3: Creator, Protector, Redeemer
September 30, 2018 • Jackie Watts • Psalm 51:1–13, Psalm 139, John 21:15–19, Psalm 23
Different people have differing views of who God really is. But THE GOOD BOOK gives us insight into who God really is. Today we discover 3 amazing attributes of God from the heart of a musician.

October 7, 2018 • Jackie Watts • Isaiah 53, Isaiah 1:2–4, Hebrews 1:1–2, Isaiah 1:16–20, Daniel 7:13–14
Have you ever had to stand up for what’s right when no one else would? Today we take a look at folks who were in a much more difficult situation than most of us have faced. The prophets were God’s messengers, who confronted people’s sin and challenged them to change.

October 14, 2018 • Jackie Watts • 1 Corinthians 11:25, Galatians 4:4–5, John 14:6–10, Galatians 3:24–26
If the entire New Testament revolves around the person, miracles, & teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, then we might need to answer the question, “Who IS Jesus…really?” Today we open the New Testament to discover the importance of Jesus’ life and message.
6: Jesus: To Seek & Save
October 21, 2018 • Jackie Watts • John 3:14–15, Luke 19:5–10, Luke 7:37–50, John 3:2–3
Jesus, the Son of God, didn’t put on skin so he could understand what we are going through. Nope. If Jesus had a purpose statement put on a plague, it would likely say: “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.” Today we discover how that applies to the sinful extreme, the ‘squeaky clean’, and everybody in between.
