Lent | Worship “God leads us”
Text: Psalm 23:3 God provides leadership for us that is trustworthy and true. So how then can we learn to let go of our need to set our own course and trust in God’s unfailing leadership? What does it mean to follow right paths for his name’s sake?
“Feeding Our Souls” (10:30 AM Blended)
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 Throughout this series, we have focused thus far on our thoughts, our hearts, and our relationships. Now we turn to turn to Jesus’ promise that “all who are weary and burdened” (and who isn’t?) will find rest for our souls in him. How is Jesus, the Bread of Life, feeding our souls and bringing about this rest for us and is it perhaps right in front of us in ways that we fail to recognize?

“For Restoration” (10:30 AM Blended)
Text: Revelation 21:1-5 Our lives sometimes take us to places that feel like dead ends but God is a God who is always bringing us good news and new beginnings: “See how I am making all things new.” God isn’t finished with creation yet and his mercies are new for us each day. How does our Christian faith give us a lens to see how God is at work around us?

“Hope” (10:30 AM Blended)
Text: Isaiah 64:1-9 When we light a candle, we say “no” to the darkness: this is the essence of hope. The prophet Isaiah and John the Baptist both remind us in their own way that God will rend the heavens and come down to us and that he comes to be the very Light of the World for all of us who need real hope.

Community (10:30 AM)
What’s the Point: Community Text: Acts 2:42-47 In a time when so many people are experiencing such profound divisions, loneliness, and isolation, God’s gift of community is needed more than ever. The story of the early church paints a compelling picture of what “doing life” together can look like and reinforces the need for a deeper experience of community that is so elusive today as social media gives a false sense of community in many ways.
