Why Do We Buy That? My Ancestry
By: Pastor David
Series: Why Do We Buy That?
Romans 6:3-8, Colossians 2:9-15, and 1 John 3:1-2
“You are the sum of what you have done!” This proverb seems to seal our fate that our past now determines our lives. But this Sunday we hear about a different heritage that can become ours when we choose Jesus. Our lives are determined by our past, yes, but it is the new past Jesus gives us! We celebrate All Saints Sunday and remember that those who have died are alive, living out a new future given to them by their Jesus-given ancestry!

James 2:14-19, 24
Jesus-followers don’t just sit around all day enjoying their personal relationship with Jesus. They do that while “on the road.” We live out our faith as we go and do. This Sunday we’ll learn how the Methodist Method includes growing by doing, or, put with a cliche, practice makes perfect! Teaser: There will also be treats! - Oct 20, 2019Why Do We Buy That? – Wanting It All
Oct 20, 2019Why Do We Buy That? – Wanting It AllBy: Pastor DavidSeries: Why Do We Buy That?Romans 12:1-2
Have you noticed how you’ve subtly become addicted to wanting more...better...that next thing? It’s surprising just how sneakily that seeps into our lives! The way to counter the consumption of consumptionism is to live out your salvation every day. That means applying how you make Jesus your Lord not just when you become a Christian, but continually. This Sunday we’re learning to kneel before our Lord each and every day. - Oct 13, 2019Why Do We Buy That? – End with Forgiveness
Oct 13, 2019Why Do We Buy That? – End with ForgivenessBy: Pastor DavidSeries: Why Do We Buy That?Ephesians 4:17-32 Being in relationships means dealing with the mess that other people dish out on us. It’s hard, even when it’s people we love. But our response is determined not by what they do, but by who rules inside of us. This Sunday we’ll re-frame retaliation and hear Jesus’ calling to forgive. Trust me, if you live in today’s culture, you need to hear this message!

Then you need to join the rest of the “sticks” this Sunday at worship. It’s World Communion Sunday and we’re celebrating how we have the Body of Christ as Jesus’ gift of support for us!

Sep 22, 2019Why Do We Buy That? – Laughed AtBy: Pastor DavidSeries: Why Do We Buy That?Matthew 6:16-24“Come on, try it!” “Everyone’s doing it!” “Are you scared?” Our desire to fit in–and above all else not to be laughed at–is one of our most powerful motivators.

Come this Sunday to gain resolve to stay on the path of life, no matter the hecklers!

Sep 8, 2019Why Do We Buy That? – Jumping in ScumBy: Pastor DavidSeries: Why Do We Buy That?Matthew 9:9-13Why do commercials work on us? They offer satisfaction, meaning, and value in something we can buy. But we know better! Only Jesus offers the path of truly abundant life. Pastor David is back in September and will lead with a message series using commercial ads, “Why Do You Buy That?” We’ll uncover the ways we lose our focus amid the swirling media of advertising. We’ll expose our vulnerability to temptation, and we’ll get grounded again what really satisfies all the deep, inner longings of life. Our world creates a never-ending cycle of always needing that one more thing to be accepted or happy. Our church (Religion) tells us we just need to do that one more thing to be good enough. Jesus just says come! We “buy” this because we realize that we really are scum! Commercials prick this realization. Yet the answer isn’t buying their product, it’s turning to Jesus.
