Trusting in God's Word, Part II: The CanonTrusting God’s Word includes trusting that the books in the Bible are God-breathed. Why were these books included, when, by whom, and for what reasons? Why is having a Canon of Scripture so important to us, the Church, and our world? Scripture Used: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5, John 14:15-27 Meaningful Conversation Starters: How would you feel, and what would you do, if you had to search through everything ever written in order to find God’s Words to you? You have God’s Word available to you in the Bible, and more available than ever in the history of the world! What will you do with it? Rev. Scott CramerTrusting in God's Word, Part IThis week we begin our new series, one that will explore the many reasons we can trust the Bible to be what it asserts -- God’s Word . We are exploring the development of the Old and New Testament, the modes of inspiration, and more. In addition to the series we’re encouraging the congregation to engage in a challenge to read 50 Bible passages that we’re providing weeks 1 and 2. Rev. Dr. Jonathan Tagg Scripture used: 2 Peter 1:16-21, John 1:1-14Listening to God in the QuietThere are times in life when everything crashes in, and we feel like giving up. Elijah’s desperate escape and God’s loving restoration paints a picture of how God desires to lead us to wholeness and hope. In comparison, Jesus’s quiet model of slipping away in the quiet of the morning, demonstrates an alternate approach for coping with Scripture used: 1 Kings 19:1-16 and Mark 1:29-39 Meaningful Conversation Starters: Share a time in your life when it seemed like all was crashing in. How did you find you way back to God?What might you do differently next time? Claire AndrewsAdvent Week IV: Born to Raise the Sons of EarthOur bodies are made in God’s image, proclaimed “very good” by God himself, “fearfully and wonderfully made.” At Christmas we celebrate the Son of God being born without shame in a human body.

Chris Andrews Scripture Used: Genesis 1:26-31, 1 Corinthians 15, Luke 1:26-56 Meaningful Conversation Starters: Do you honestly think of your body as “very good” like God said, or “fearfully and wonderfully made” like David wrote? Why or why not? Before the sermon, did you understand that Jesus’ resurrection was a foretaste of your own afterlife? Does 1 Corinthians 15 change or clarify anything you believed previously?Week 3: Remembering RightlyIt's easy for us to become ensnared by a love of money.
