Taking a Holy Risk
Resolving the tension between the biblical qualities of “prudence” and “faith”. (Proverbs 13:16, Hebrews 11:6-8, James 1:5-6)
Passing on Our Faith
It is imperative that we pass our faith on to the next generation, and God has given us a strategy for doing it! (Deuteronomy 6:1-9; 2 Timothy 1:5, 3:14-15)
Humility & Anger
Unchecked pride feeds our anger, and can lead to disastrous consequences. Humility before God is the answer! (Genesis 4:1-12 & other passages)
Humility with Each Other
What does humility look like when we experience it in community? (Romans 12:1-10)
Pride – The Core Problem
How and where does pride rear its head in our lives? (Proverbs 6:16-19)
Humility – The Core Characteristic
What does God expect of His children? (Micah 6:1-8)
Never Stop Praying
When prayer becomes a natural and ongoing part of our lives, sometimes God changes our circumstances, sometimes He changes us, and sometimes He changes both. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Acts 16:16-34)
A Humble Arrival
Jesus – our Creator – willingly gave up the freedom of heaven to live as a human, and He arrived as a helpless baby. (Philippians 2:5-7; Luke 2:1-7)
Mercy vs Injustice
Jesus – our creator – comes into His creation to rescue us from human darkness and injustice. (Luke 1:46-55)
Light vs Darkness
When we have experienced tragedy or brokenness, or feel oppressed by people or circumstances, life can seem very dark. Where is God in moments like these? (Isaiah 8:21 – 9:7)
