Title: Lead the Way Series: Shepherd: The Flock of God Passage: Psalm 23 Have you ever been lost? Not knowing where to go or who to ask for help? Whether you were stuck in the middle of the woods without a compass or a season of life that left you asking the question, where do I go from here? We've all been there. And no matter how great our navigation skills are, we need someone we can trust and depend on daily for direction. But who? Over the last couple of weeks, we have learned how important it is for sheep to have a shepherd. And as we wrap up our Shepherd: The Flock of God series, we are going to walk with a Shepherd who goes above and beyond for His sheep. Let's follow as He Leads The Way.
Title: Shepherd Pain Series: Shepherd: The Flock of God Passage: Ezekiel 34:1-16 Imagine a group of shepherds, laughing and dining together. From afar, it looks like a merry feast! They are dressed in their holiday best and the aroma of sizzling meat fills the room. They welcome you in and ask if you’re hungry. When you ask what’s on the menu for the evening. They reply... sheep. The shepherds are eating... sheep. We’re going to tune into a time in Israel’s history where this very thing happened. As we see God’s response, we will be comforted to know that He has plan for dealing with our Shepherd Pain.
Title: Between You & Me and Them Series: Shepherd: The Flock of God Passage: 1 Peter 5:1-5 Have you ever overheard a conversation you wish you hadn’t? Some matters are just better left “between you and me.” This week we find a super important conversation taking place between church elders... and they’re doing it in front of the entire congregation! However, we won’t excuse ourselves or leave them to it, because the more people who overhear this conversation the better.

Title: Jerusalem Has Fallen Series: Return of the King Passage: Mark 13 What would it be like if the heart of our nation, the capital, the seat of power and authority that represents our freedom was overtaken and destroyed by a foreign power?

As we listen to Jesus address their future, we will receive comfort and wisdom for facing ours.
Title: When Fear Shakes Your Faith Passage: 1 Samuel 21:1-15 Symptoms of fear may include a racing heart, sweating palms, a spinning head, or a sinking stomach. That's how it affects your body, but what does it do to your faith? With new reasons to be afraid waiting around every turn, how does your faith respond? This week, as we look at 1 Samuel 21, we're going to see what happens when Fear Shakes Your Faith.
Title: Objects in Mirror Series: Return of the King Passage: Mark 12:35-44 We all know how the phrase goes: Objects in mirror are ... closer than they appear. Whether you’re backing out of the driveway, surfing the internet, talking to a neighbor or going to church – things aren't always what they seem. This week as Jesus teaches in the temple, he warns us of fake spirituality and points us to genuine devotion. And wouldn't you know it, in both scenarios – things are not as they appear.
Title: The Heart of GodSeries: Return of the KingPassage: Mark 12:28-34If someone asked you, “What matters most to God?” what would you say? We know there are a lot of teachings and so many stories – the Bible is a big book! But at the end of the day, if we could boil it all down, what does God want from me? What is most important to Him? What’s the heart of God? This week we learn the heart of God from the Son of God so that we can live as children of God.

Cash or credit? But then there are big questions – like really big. These are questions about our existence, the universe and ultimate reality. Where did we come from? What’s the meaning of life? Is there life beyond our world? What happens to us when we die?This weekend Jesus tackles one of life’s biggest questions and thought-provoking topics: Is there an afterlife? As we listen to His teaching onThe Afterlife, we’ll consider how our approach to this life might be affectedby our take on the life to come.

As we follow His story, we’ll see him weigh in on an important matter. And as He does, we’ll learn His answer. But we’ll also learn how we can respond to the tired and divisive issues of our world with a refreshing and wise approach. Grab your Bibles and join us for Canceling Jesus.
