In Deuteronomy 30 God Gives the Israelites a clear choice and lays out the consequences of that choice. May we always choose to follow God and choose life. May we become conscious to the moments we don’t put God first.

Today we are reading out of Jeremiah God speaking about this pattern of distraction that the Israelites are in. They continue to be distracted, God gives them over to their distraction then when they cry out to God, He comes to rescue them. We might see that pattern in our lives as well. Let us pray in this Lenten season God point out places where we have turned from Him and gotten distracted.

Psalm 84 is a song of Zion, a song the Israelites would sing as they traveled back to the temple during the pilgrimage festivals. They longed to feel at home, to have rest in God’s presence. Do we long for the same things?

Psalm 95 is a bid to come. We start this journey towards the cross this Sunday. We journey these 40 days of lent. It is a season of reflection and repentance. God bids us come.

To blessed to be stressed. But does one really have something to do with the other? Paul tells us he has anxiety in Philippians, but then tells us not to be anxious. Why? Join us today as we talk through this.

The phrase “everything happens for a reason” usually rolls off our tongues in situations where we might not know what to say. But is that phrase and what it means what we really mean to say? Maybe we should look at Romans 8 and see what Paul was really saying.

Sometimes in hard times we tend to say things we don’t really mean that don’t really express what we want to say. We’ve all done it and all had those things said to us. Today we are looking at the phrase “God doesn’t give us more than we can handle.” What are things we can say that better express what we mean?

Today we are speaking again about tithing. What does the widows offering in Mark teach us about tithing? Join us and learn.

Today we are going to answer the question of why people tell you to tithe 10%. We will look at the verse from Leviticus but also how Paul frames giving in the New Testament.

What is Epiphany and why do we care? Join us today for this story in Matthew as we look at what Matthew is trying to tell us.

Luke chapter 8 feels kind of like non stop action. In the midst of the chapter we have a wonderful story of healing. What can we learn from this? That is the big question.

Matthew shows us in the first chapter of his Gospel that the Christmas story isn’t this tidy wrapped up with a bow story. It was, what most people would consider messy. But in the midst of the mess God shows up.

Today we see in Scripture how Paul calls us to be peacemakers. Being a peacemaker is different than being a peacekeeper or an agitator. Let’s look at what Paul says should be our foundation for every relationship we have.

Jesus tells the disciples the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. What does that mean? Maybe since it is connected to the passage in Ezekiel that part of it is taking care of others. Living our lives in such a way that people see Jesus.

Sukkot or the feast of Tabernacles was a large celebration after the harvest thanking God for the harvest. But also thanking God for the rain they were going to revive. Jesus offers them living water. They might get water but he offered life.

Shavuot or Pentecost was significant to the Jewish that were celebrating. It is still significant to us. We know moving forward all we can do is go where God wants us to go. To come together in one accord moving forward where the Holy Spirit leads.

What did Passover represent and why was Jesus crucified during this time? To better understand the answer we have to look at what Passover means to the first century Jewish.

The harvest was a very important time of celebration for the Israelites. The three pilgrim festivals surround harvest. Moses tells the Israelites in Deuteronomy they are called to recognize that God gives us all things. And our relationship with God and others are more important than things.

Paul talks about the unity of all things in heaven and in earth. What does that look like? We talk about that today.

In Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth he speaks about this new covenant that was entered into through Christ. Where God’s word is written on our heart through the Spirit. We are called to work in cooperation with the Spirit in living this new covenant out. We are called to be ministers of reconciliation and one key part of that is to view everything and everyone from the view of the cross.
