We finish our worship series of Busy: Reconnecting with an Unhurried God by hearing John:12:1-8.
Reconnecting to Our Roots
We will hear the parable of the Prodigal Son. Because this is such a familiar story, our challenge is to hear the scripture with fresh ears. Please read this passage prior to Sunday Luke:15:1-32. Who are you in this parable? Where are you in the story Jesus tells? We’ll explore together what God is saying to us, in the sermon, Reconnecting to our Roots.
Reconnecting to Reality
It’s the 3rd Sunday of Lent, we are in our worship series “Busy: Reconnecting with an Unhurried God.” Scripture is from Luke:13:1-9. Why do we think the grass always greener on the other side? We’ll explore what Jesus says about this in our sermon, “Reconnecting to Reality.”

“Living in the Light: The Sermon Nobody Wanted to Hear”
Have you ever heard God speaking, but you just didn’t want to listen? Have you tried to push away people who, in looking back, you now realize have been the presence of Christ in your life?
