Foundation Practices - Livin' on a Prayer
October 13, 2019 • Peter Mueller
If there’s one thing that characterizes relationship between God and people, it’s that they talk with each other - and God, the creator and king of the entire universe has invited you and me to talk with Him, regardless of what’s going on in our lives. He wants to hear about the joy, the sorrow, the challenges and the dreams you and I have. Today’s message will consider biblical examples of prayer and look at some ways to find new vibrancy in your prayer life.
Foundation Practices - Use Your Noggin
October 6, 2019 • Peter Mueller
Whether you read the Bible in an “eenie, meenie, miney, mo” fashion or with great discipline, the ancient words of God are still alive and active for you and me today. There is power in God’s word and it’s essential for us to regularly read it and reflect deeply about it in order to apply it to our thoughts, feelings, and life’s experiences, personally and professionally. Today;s message will explore this theme and consider strategies to dive deep into God’s Word.
CONNECTION
September 29, 2019 • Roger Sylwester
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is a being of internal community and we are made to be like Him. On our best days, we crave relationship with others and on our worst days we need the same. CONNECTION with other followers of Jesus is so important to experience the full and abundant life Jesus came to bring for us.
EXPEDITION - Responding to God's Call
September 22, 2019 • Peter Mueller
God is a missionary God who has called His people to be a missionary people. As Jesus was sent by the Father seek and to save the lost, so He now has sent us to love and serve people and connect their physical and spiritual needs with the One who loves them and with His people. Today’s worship time will include an update from Julie Hill on our latest Hope project with Living Water International in the country of Rwanda and our Hope mission team that will be serving there in early 2020!
ELEVATION - Knowing Jesus
September 15, 2019 • Peter Mueller
Knowing Jesus can bring us a whole new perspective on all of life. This is a gift of God, but too often we ignore the gift or settle for lesser human-made experiences of life. David in the Old Testament was described as “a man after God’s own heart” - David longed to know God and to pursue God in relationship. Connection with God is something that He invites us into each moment of our lives! Today’s message will take a deeper look at that and offer strategies of how to live like David.
Engaging People, Awakening Hope
September 8, 2019 • Peter Mueller
Long ago, churches were built and people in our country would just show up. Today, we live in a world filled with people that are increasingly disinterested in things spiritual - but Jesus calls and sends you and me to live our lives in ways that engage people so that God might awaken the hope of Jesus in them. This is the mission of Hope Church and School!
