Text: Mark 1:14-15

Title: I Need a Break Thru: Slinky Living

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Everyone gets off course once in a while in their life. We drift in a relationship. We fall behind on some bills. We gain a few extra pounds. We may coast in our spiritual lives. Last week, Pastor Rick urged us to consider what kind of spiritual soil we have cultivated in our lives for the Spirit to use to transform and develop us in Christ-likeness. This week, we consider one simple spiritual practice that can lead to lifelong learning and growth. Through the lens of Mark 1:14-15, we consider how to live like a Slinky and welcome the kingdom of God in our lives.

Title: Spiritual Stuff: Are You Drawn In or Indifferent

Preacher: Rev. Rick VanderWall

As the New Year begins, we usually have thoughts about how to make this year better than the last. This usually means starting something like a diet or exercise program. And like most good ideas, it isn’t long and somehow they just fade away and we fall back into the routine we like and are use to. But what about our walk with God and the spiritual things that come with that? Is it time to take a good look at where we are at in this journey? We are starting this year with a sermon series titled “I Need a Breakthrough.” And the subject we are starting with is about all that Spiritual Stuff. On this first day of a new year, let’s look at scripture to find out what we need to do to guide us in this endeavor. Are you drawn in or indifferent?

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

We finish our current sermon series entitled I Need a Break Thru this week. Everyone gets off course once in a while in their life. We drift in a relationship. We fall behind on some bills. We gain a few extra pounds. We may coast in our spiritual lives. Last week, Pastor Greg urged us to develop a habit of paying attention to our emotions, noticing God, and living a “slinky life” of repentance and belief. This week, we consider how to live a “pendulum life” that balances work and rest, productivity and leisure, growth and pruning.
