In his last time together with his disciples before his crucifixion, you would expect Jesus to say and do the things that are most important to him. And he does. His last words and actions give us a poignant picture of his heart and his plan for us. In this we see fresh meaning and purpose for the new life he gives.
sense. Things don't add up. God doesn't seem to answer our prayers. Bad people prosper. Good people suffer. And ones dear to us are facing a tragedy that may take us down with them.
A prophet named Habakkuk knows what it's like. It confuses him. It ticks him off. It shakes his faith. So, he takes his complaint straight to God and unloads both barrels.
It's a questioning journey that takes him from confusion to confidence. And we get to follow his footsteps. Join us as we study our way through the book of Habakkuk.
At one time or another we have all wished for a windfall but the wonderful truth is that God has provided us with the greatest windfall of all—the power of His resurrection.
Deadened by the daily grind, drifting in a sea of confusing cultural ideologies, blinded by what we’ve always been taught or been told, we wonder. What is true? What is real? What is the meaning of all this? Why all the suffering and injustice? How can I find fulfillment? How can I make a difference? How can I live without regrets?
Jesus gives signs. The signs point to a new, full life that he offers. But neither Jesus nor the signs nor the new life fit into the tidy religious box of our expectations. And so they are easily misread or distorted or dismissed altogether. They demand openness. And eyes to see. And faith.
The Gospel of John was written to help everyone see the signs--signs that can lead us to a new, full life. Whether you're the most hardened skeptic or the most ardent fan, join us, expecting to think hard and fresh, as we study our way through the Gospel of John. This is for you.
Everybody has a profile. And our profile is under construction. It's not finished yet.
Our profile is not necessarily what we post on social media, or what we put on our resume. It's who we really are. Or perhaps more to the point, it's who we are truly becoming.
In this sermon series, we're going to take a closer look at a number of Christ-like characteristics worth striving for and being known for.
If, by the grace and power of God, we could somehow pour a little more of these traits into our profile, we would be better people, and the world would be a better place.
Join us on a cross-ministry road trip as we take an inside look at the ministries of Moon Valley. Each week our ministry leaders will share what's happening in their ministry and why it's so important.
