to Jan 26

In View of God's Mercy | Part 2

Romans is a beloved yet challenging book of the Bible. Each chapter is so rich, it could be its own sermon series! But this series will walk through the major themes of Romans to help us see its overarching message:

  • God’s Righteousness (Chapters 1–4): God makes us right with Him through faith.

  • God Creates a New Humanity (Chapters 5–8): In Jesus, we are made new and given life.

  • God Fulfills His Promise to Israel (Chapters 9–11): God remains faithful to His promises.

  • God Unifies the Church (Chapters 12–16): The gospel unites us as one people across all differences.

Our goal is not to exhaustively study every word of Romans, but to move through significant sections quickly enough to grasp its heart—what theologian Karl Barth called “the supreme statement of theology”: Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

In a world that changes constantly, what can we truly depend on? What is steady and sure, no matter what happens? Romans points us to a foundation we can build our lives on: Jesus.

We often seek security in good things—others’ approval, finances, health, relationships, or success. But when we ask those things to hold the weight of our lives, they can’t. They were never meant to.

Paul’s words to the Christians in Rome invite us to place our deepest security in the only One who can carry us—Jesus Christ. Because of His mercy, expressed through His life, death, and resurrection, we are invited to live transformed lives “in view of God’s mercy” (Romans 12:1).

May we find our sure foundation in Him.

  • Know: The true, lasting security for our lives – now and forever – is found in God’s work in Christ.

  • Do: Look there for your security even in the parts of life where this is hardest.

Weeks:

  • December 15 – Romans 9:1-11:36

    December 22 – Romans 12:1-8

    December 24 – (CHRISTMAS EVE)

    December 29 – Romans 13:1-14

    January 5 – Romans 12:9-21

    January 12 – Romans 14:1-15:13

    January 19 – Romans 15:14-33

    January 26 – Romans 16:1-27

This will be a simple and laid-back night; come as you are, and we pray that you are blessed by the songs and passages of hope, strength, and encouragement.

Mentoring Opportunity for Moms of Young Children (Session 4)

For over a decade, Linda Reeb has encouraged moms of young children (typically preschoolers and elementary-aged kiddos) to lean into their God-given roles by applying the wisdom of the Bible to their everyday lives. Together, with Deb Hart and other mentor moms, we will discuss questions like, 

  • How can you align in motherhood with who God has created you to be? 

  • Is there a way to connect with other moms without comparing and competing?

  • Is your family marriage-centered, or family-centered?  If you are not married, was your family of origin marriage-centered or family-centered? What’s the difference, and why does it matter?

This group will give you an opportunity to learn, grow, and center your motherhood on wisdom from the scriptures. We look forward to cheering on moms of young  in the roles God has called them to in our world today.

Sermon Series | Wonder
Nov
3
to Dec 8

Sermon Series | Wonder

OVERVIEW

To those who receive Jesus, to those who believe in his name, he gives us the right to become children of God (cf. John 1:12). The language “children of God” is significant, as Jesus says that those who welcome children in his name welcome him (Matthew 18:1-5). Ultimately we must receive his Kingdom “like a little child” (Luke 18:15-17). The invitation is to “believe and ask,” as children do. They make sense of the world by identifying who they most trust and then asking those people an incredible number of questions. This is a humble posture in a world of know-it-alls. And yet, as we grow older, we get less and less comfortable with genuine questions. We may feel dumb for not knowing or unsure if our question is okay to ask. Authentic, heartfelt questions are an essential part of the journey of faith!

In this series, we will highlight some specific questions that the children have asked of our church as a way to talk about things that many adults also think about. We will ultimately respond to the kid-asked questions with a kid-understandable response (whether an answer, a further question, or an object lesson). We invite you to honestly wonder, as an important part of the Christ-centered life – to receive Jesus and his Kingdom with child-like wonder.

Know: Asking genuine, heartfelt questions is part of the journey of faith and deeper intimacy with God.

Do: Come to Jesus and His kingdom with wonder, asking genuine questions and believing He is with us in them.

November 3 – Did God create bad guys?

November 10 – If heaven is perfect and so happy, why are people afraid to die?

November 17 – Can God touch in the deep end?

November 24 – How does God speak if I don’t hear an actual voice?

December 1 – Is this story real or pretend?

December 8 – Why doesn’t God come to earth to visit us?

Communion Sunday
Oct
27

Communion Sunday

Communion, like baptism, is a sacrament, meaning it is both a symbol and an assurance of God’s covenantal love. There is a symbolic nature to communion, like baptism, in that it paints a picture of how Jesus loves his followers. And yet, it is not simply symbolic. In communion, we are strengthened by God’s love.  

With communion, we remember the last meal Jesus shared with his first disciples before his crucifixion. Luke 22:14-16 - When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 

When the first Christians saw the crucifixion of Jesus, they understood what he meant when he said his body would be broken for us, and his blood would be poured out for us. Jesus offered himself willingly as the Ultimate Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice invites us to experience God’s mercy, whose blood seals his followers into a covenantal relationship with God now and forever. 

How do we discern the body of Christ in communion? (1) In communion, we remember we are united with Jesus. In communion, we discern the body of Christ by recognizing that Jesus was broken and poured out for us. Jesus was crucified willingly to move our lives in a new direction as people who can be sealed in a covenantal relationship with God, as we say YES to Jesus. In communion, we remember that Jesus was [point] broken for us. So that we might be forever united with him, forever walk with him.  

If you would like to read more about Storyhill Communion, feel free to read Lead Teaching Pastor Michael Flake’s latest sermon on the subject.
