Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Anger”

Text: Matthew 5:21-26 God’s Word provides us with solid reasoning on the importance of settling our differences with others.  The God of peace asks us to be reconciled with our brothers and sisters even before we come before the Lord in worship.  Wasn’t it peace that Jesus was showing us in his death on the cross?  How is God calling us to transform our anger into something life-giving before we do and say things that we later regret?

In Matt 8:23-27, Jesus exemplifies peace 4 of 5 in the thick of disruption. Disruptions have a way of exposing things that are otherwise buried beneath the surface.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Stay Calm”

Text: Matthew 8:23-27 A storm can approach without warning just like it did when Jesus was out on a boat with his disciples. But Jesus is in the business of calming the storms that threaten us just as he did that day. We can stay calm because Jesus is with us. “Be still and know that I am God.”

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Prepare”

Text: Matthew 7:24-29 Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders seems to suggest the inevitability of the storms of life.  The rains will come, the streams will rise, and the winds will blow.  But we can build our life on the rock foundation of Jesus Christ and God invites us to connect to him on a daily basis through God’s gift of faith.  Our series begins with a focus on what it means to be “storm proof.”
