Today, we’re wrapping up our series on serving others. We’ve seen how we, as Christians, need to have both faith and deeds. We’ve talked about how we are all needed to serve together as the Body of Christ. And we’ve talked about how there is no such thing as a “Lone Ranger” Christian! This week, we’re going to wrap up the series by going to the fair: The Ministry Fair! We’re going to take a good look at what it takes to serve like Jesus, by taking a good look at how Jesus served.

Last week we started a series on serving others. We looked at how we, as Christians, needed to have both faith – in Jesus – and deeds – done out of love and gratitude for all He has done – to show what we believe. This week, we’re going to see what it takes to serve in a different way: as the Body of Christ. We’re going to dig deep into 1 Corinthians to see what Paul has to say about both our purpose AND our place in the Body of Christ. We’re also going to talk about how it can all go wrong!

Today we’re starting a new series on serving. We’re going to be looking at why service matters, how even one person can make a difference, and why serving others can change lives…some for an eternity! For our first lesson, we’re going to see which is more important: faith or deeds? As a Christian, can we have one without the other? If so, what does that look like? So join us as we dig into the book of James on our first stop in seeing what it means to serve!

Today is a great honor for us: we’re going to hear from our Mission Team to Kenya! They’re going to lead worship, as well as share their experiences out on the mission field. The most exciting thing is we get to see what God has done both to and through the team! God sends us out to change lives, and those that faithfully answer the call find that their lives are changed, too. Welcome to “Kenya Report”!

Last week, we explored the acronym “CAMP” and how we need to use it to keep our eyes focused on Jesus. But what happens if we lose that focus? Or, worse yet, what if we trade it for something temporary…something that can never satisfy us? Actually, the Bible is full of stories of people who traded God’s will for their wants…and then regretted it later on. And one of the most famous examples, is one of the first!

Pastor Barry has just finished three weeks of speaking at Crescent Lake Bible Camp. God did some amazing things, and it was an honor and a blessing to be there and watch God change lives like only He can do! This week, you’re invited to go to CAMP as Pastor Barry shares some insights that he learned over this Summer. We’re also joined by the Crescent Lake Bible Camp Staff for the music, so today should be really…camp-y! Welcome to “Learning To CAMP”!

We’re wrapping up a series on “apologetics” or “defending your faith”. We’ve seen that we need to live our lives in such a way that people see Christ in us, we’ve learned that having arguments doesn’t win souls, and we’ve even sent out our first Mission Team as a way to both share and strengthen our faith and the faith of others. This week, we’re going to talk about one of the most important ways to defend our faith, and that’s through finding answers to questions – both our questions and the questions of others!

We’re in a series on “apologetics” or “defending your faith”. In our first week, we talked about 1 Peter 3 and how our lives are to be so different that people ask us about it. In the second week, we talked about NOT arguing, but correcting people gently. Last week we talked about “Defending What REALLY Matters!”: The Resurrection. This week, we’re going to go a little…sideways. We’re preparing to send out a Mission Team to Kenya, Africa. So what does this have to do with apologetics? Pretty much…everything!

We’re in a series on “apologetics” or “defending your faith”. In our first week, we talked about 1 Peter 3 and how our lives are to be so different that people ask us about it. Last week, we talked about NOT arguing, but correcting people gently. This week, we’re going to get into what most people would consider “true apologetics”. We’re going to defend our faith by talking about the central concept in Christianity: the resurrection!

We’re in a series on “apologetics” or “defending your faith”. Last week, we looked at the most “popular” verse on apologetics in 1 Peter, and we saw that, instead of arguing, we need to let the Holy Spirit change our lives so that people see a difference in us. This week, we’re going to look at how we “argue” for our faith! We’re going to hear Paul’s advice to Timothy, and see what he has to say about arguing and quarreling with others.

Over the last couple of months, Pastor Barry has had multiple people ask if he could teach on “apologetics” or “how do defend your faith”. Each time, he’s put off the topic because it’s such a complicated subject. This month, we had two more people ask, and so guess what? We’re talking about “apologetics”! We’re going to explain not only what it is and how to do it, we’re going to talk about how NOT to do it, too!

We had a LOT of questions come in during the past couple of weeks, including one that Pastor Barry wanted to answer right away. Because of that, we’re going to do another round of “No Dumb Questions”. If you’ve never been here before, Pastor Barry doesn’t believe that you can ask a “dumb” question about God, Jesus, the Bible, church, etc. If you want to know, ask! In fact, according to him, the only “dumb” question is the one you wanted to ask…and didn’t. Welcome to “NDQ: Round 5”!

In this series – originally presented to a Couple’s Retreat Weekend at Crescent Lake Bible Camp – we’ve covered a LOT of ground! We’ve talked about what our “song” is, ways to lose our song, ways to end someone else’s song, and last week we began to talk about how we as families and a church can start getting in tune. This week, we’re going to wrap up our series on “Staying In Tune” by actually talking about how we are to stay in tune. We’re going to look at one last song, see what God has to tell us, and then we – all of us – get to choose where we fix our eyes! Welcome to “Staying In Tune”!

We’re in the middle of a series called “Staying In Tune”. We’ve talked about such encouraging topics as “Stealing Their Song” and “Silencing Their Song”, as well as a short detour to Romans 1 to show all of the chaos that can happen when we take our eyes off of God. This week, we’re on the mend. We’re going to see what life can look like when we lift our song to God and encourage others to do the same! Welcome to “Getting In Tune”!
