Tonight we complete our series on some of Jesus’ Kingdom Parables in Matthew. Tonight’s parable is one of the last ones Jesus told, and for good reason…
We are walking through one of the Bible’s great transformation passages (Ephesians 4:17-32), and this morning we study verses 26-27, which address the difficult challenge of handling anger. In a world that is becoming angrier, how should our Christian “new selves” should handle our anger?
Tonight we begin our 2018 Wednesday Night Summer Series! Our theme this year is “Summer Travels,” as we study some of the best-known biblical ‘travels’ within the bigger story of God’s work in His world. Our first lesson is presented by Kevin Redd, a former Great Oaks’ member who is now a minister at the Millington (TN) Church of Christ, sharing thoughts on “Through the Sea: Crossing the Red Sea.”
On Sunday nights, we are studying Jesus’ Kingdom Parables in Matthew’s gospel. Tonight we come to a story Jesus told in Matthew chapter 20 that may seem confusing at first. We will do our best to put it in context, and see what God wants us to learn from it about Christ’s kingdom…
This year we are focusing on being transformed in Christ, into what Ephesians 4 calls the “new self.” This morning we begin walking through some specific ways Ephesians 4 says we should become different as Christians. The first one challenges us to think about a Christian quality that may take some work: honesty.
Our 2018 theme is “Transformed,” and this morning we begin a Sunday morning series on one of the Bible’s great transformation passages: Ephesians 4:17-32. In this first lesson, we study verses 17-24, where Paul lays out the big picture of how Christian transformation occurs. Hopefully it will challenge us to ask: am I allowing myself to continually be transformed in Christ?
This afternoon we continue our new Sunday night series on Jesus’ kingdom parables in the Gospel of Matthew. In one of Jesus’ most challenging stories, what did He tell us about the kingdom and forgiveness?
Memorial Day weekend is a weekend of remembering, an idea that’s very important to the Christian faith. But an opposite idea is also important to us: God, please forget. This morning, we study one of the Bible’s best-known confessions of sin, one that teaches us so much about how we should respond to our own sin-failures…
Tonight we begin a Sunday night series on Jesus’ “Kingdom Parables” in the Gospel of Matthew. Let’s start with one of the great scenes in Jesus’ life, found in Matthew chapter 13: Jesus teaching from a boat, the crowd on the beach, listening to Jesus tell stories about the kingdom. What do those stories teach us about the nature and value of Christ’s kingdom?
It’s an “Oh the Places You’ll Go” time of year. As we get ready for the end of the school year and a summer of traveling, let’s study the “going” of Jesus, and what it teaches us about a Christian outlook on all the places our lives will take us…
