Impossible Promise

Sept-Oct Sermon Series:
The Impossible Promise of Enough

Through October 13

God’s promises are at the core of the witness of Scripture, but often we live in the in-between, transitional space between the anticipation of what might be possible and the inheritance of God’s goodness. We will delve into the wilderness story to ponder the impossible promises of a God who upends our expectations of economics and of each other. This ancient story has the possibility to speak in fresh ways into our contemporary lives, calling us to live in trust of God’s goodness even when the world operates under different means.

5 Everyday Ways to Love Your Neighbor & Change the World

October 20-November 17

Jesus is the one we follow. His whole life was a blessing to the world. Every place that he went, every person he encountered experienced a “God moment” in his presence.

Jesus lived out the BLESS practices in his daily life on earth, and now it’s our turn to consider how those same practices might make an impact in our world. Let’s make a difference and BLESS our neighbors and God’s world.

  • Oct. 20—B: Begin with Prayer. Jesus begins with prayer.
  • Oct. 27—L: Listen. Jesus asked way more questions than he answered.
  • Nov. 3—E: Eat. Sharing a meal moves relationships further faster.
  • Nov. 10—S: Serve. After the first three, you’ll know how to best serve that person. It becomes about them, not you. 
  • Nov. 17—S: Story. After all of that, you might earn the chance to share your story.
