I Can‘t Believe: The Skeptic

Sermon: Are doubts and unanswered questions holding you back?  Have you heard things about God and believe that they have left you with more questions than answers?  Before you get answers to your questions, there may be something else you need.  Join us this weekend as we unpack what may be getting in the way of you believing.

Scripture Passage: John 20:24-31

Speaker: Joel Garrison

I Can‘t Believe: The Religiously Immunized

There are many reasons people give for why they can’t believe in Jesus. Maybe it’s disappointment. Maybe they are skeptical of the whole story, or maybe they just find other things more important. What would change for you, if Jesus satisfied every reason why you can’t believe.

The first type of person who says they can’t believe, might not be who you think it is. Maybe it’s someone who says they already believe, but truly hasn’t believed in Jesus. They’ve got just enough religion to think they have the real thing, but lack saving faith.

Open House: The Three Chairs

Sermon: There are three kinds of people: Committed (stool), comfortable (recliner) and camal (bean- bag).  Which one are you and why are two of those options so terribly wrong?  If true, Christianity is of utmost importance.  If untrue it is of no importance.  The only thing Christianity cannot be is moderately important.

Prayer: Practical Prayer

Sermon: For all the times that we do not know what to pray and for all the times that we feel caught in the rut of praying for the same thing in the same way, there is a solution.  We can pray God's words back to Him.

Scripture Passage: Psalm 100

Speaker: Chris Tracy

Prayer: Powerful Prayer

Sermon: Sometimes there is nothing that we can do to change God's answer to our prayer but sometimes we can make a difference.  The outcome of our prayer is not disconnected from our relationship with God.  We can take steps towards praying more productively.

Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:9-15

Speaker: Jeff Schrecengost

Prayer: Relentless Prayer

Series: Do you feel like when you pray, you never see any results?  Sometimes prayer can feel like less than a conversation.  It can feel repetitive and one sided, but it doesn't have to be that way.  Our prayers are deeply connected to our relationship with God.

Sermon: What if we were to tell you that God answers all our prayers?  Would you believe us?  What would happen in your life if you believed God answered all your prayers?

Scripture Passage: Luke 18:1-8

Speaker: Jeff Schrecengost
