The Plot – Week 7
At our core, everyone of us longs to connect to something bigger than us. We pursue meaning and purpose in many places. But all this world has to offer is ultimately empty - something called a chasing after the wind. But there is a grand story that calls to all of us because the Author of that story designed us and this world, and He has a place for each of us in that story.
God's desire for all of people of all times is that they would follow Him ... not simply to have a favorable of Him, but to really, really, wholeheartedly follow after Him and unite our souls to the One who made them. We discover that God wants FOLLOWERS, not just FANS. - May 8, 2016The Plot – Week 6

But all this world has to offer is ultimately empty - something called a chasing after the wind. But there is a grand story that calls to all of us because the Author of that story designed us and this world, and He has a place for each of us in that story.If our movie choices tell us anything about ourselves, it's that we're desperately seeking heroes in our lives ... those larger-than-life figures of epic power and proportion. We look to these mythical ideals to give us a sense of hope in surpassing unsurpassable odds, in a world oft gone mad around us. We learn today that God has ordered His creation not for "super" people to sweep onto the scene ... rather, He works through ORDINARY PEOPLE to accomplish INCREDIBLE THINGS.

But there is a grand story that calls to all of us because the Author of that story designed us and this world, and He has a place for each of us in that story.All of us are tempted to enter into a slow fade ... a gradual slipping of our convictions to simple beliefs and eventual opinions. We see in today's message how this manifested in the history of God's people and learn an important lesson for what God expects of us today - and the blessings that result if we apply that lesson!

But there is a grand story that calls to all of us because the Author of that story designed us and this world, and He has a place for each of us in that story.The Jewish nation was loved, called, lead, and pursued by God starting with the story of Abraham. However, they pursued their own passions and sinful, selfish pursuits, rejecting God as King and seeking a man to replace Him. This struggle continues for us today, and we look at what it means to see God as the true King and to respond to Him in light of His rightful place.

We see how God rescued him from all sorts of things ... and did so with a very important plan in mind, one that includes us today, thousands of years removed.

We see this today in the life of Joseph in a story that speaks to us in our places of hopelessness and difficulty, showing us how we can press onward into what our future holds.

We begin at the beginning this week, with a glimpse at the end.

I WILL – Week 3
Our lives are a series of questions, and the answers we provide direct the course those lives will take. So often, we ask ourselves good questions. Should I really care about others? Should we eat that extra piece of cake? Should I fix the leaky faucet or watch another episode of my latest Netflix obsession? Should I really do the things that I hear about in church or read in the Bible? And while responding with “I should” or even “I can” are admirable, the only answer that really makes a difference is “I Will!”
What will I do? What choice will I make? What future - what ETERNITY - will I embrace? Every question that has any value to it is answered in the same way - and we celebrate that Answer today on Easter Sunday, when that Answer burst forth in victory from a grave that could not contain it, from darkness that was overcome by light, from the unimaginable burden of sin broken by life and goodness. We champion that Answer together today. We honor Jesus.
