September Series: Defying Gravity

Remember when you were young and you just believed?  We believed in lots of things:  magic, fairytales, even supernatural powers like the ability to fly.  

There is something about youth that allows us to believe in magic and the supernatural.  As we get older that ability to believe often gets taught out, reasoned out, controlled out and matured right out of us. But it is possible to capture that ability to believe again - to truly believe the One Who is not only Supernatural, but Who loves us with a crazy, almost unbelievable love.  

So, for those of us who so desperately long to spread our wings and soar like eagles, run and not grow tired and walk and not lag behind maybe there is a way to get past the teaching, reasoning, controlling and maturing that took our belief away.  

Maybe, we really can defy gravity.

August 31 - Connect

We long to experience God. We long to hear from Him, worship Him, know more of Him... to Connect.

What does it look like in real time to connect to the God of the universe?

August 24 - Thirsty

Being thirsty can mean so much more than just feeling a need or desire to drink.

There are people in our world every day who are thirsty for water as well as thirsty for an education, thirsty for an opportunity to work, thirsty for the dignity found in providing for their own family. Things that seem to be givens in our lives.

Every year we partner with a church and school in St. Louis Du Nord, Haiti to do what we can to help people who find themselves thirsty. While we can't solve all of the global issues of thirst, we can make a difference for people in this community. For more information on our efforts to provide scholarships for students in St. Louis Du Nord and other ways we're trying to make a difference visit our web site:

August 17 - I Just Showed Up...: Leaving a Legacy

Acts 9 is the story of Dorcas who had half the town weeping at her death because of how she lived and loved.

How can we create relationships like that?!

Let's learn how to love boldly...forgive graciously....give generously.

August 10 - I Just Showed Up for My Own Life: Making It Count!

Luke 12:13-34

If you were to live your life in such as way as to "lay up treasures in heaven" what goes in your life? what
stays?

How can you live a life that makes an eternal difference?

August 3 - I Just Showed Up for My Own Life: Showing Up

James 4:13-17

What is God calling you to today? Have you done it? Started it? If not, why?

Live for today...go for it... lead a no regret life.

Just show up!

And the Angels Sang!!!!

We've had a breakthrough on the August series!!!!

I will post the individual weeks so that we can all begin submitting ideas, but first I wanted to congratulate Chris, Jan, Douglas and myself on swimming through the peanut butter and coming out on the other side, series in hand!!!

I didn't cry tears of joy... but I did throw a small private party in the auditorium while you all were away. :) Sorry you missed it. I'll have it cleaned up by Sunday.

Great job everyone!!!
