A new year is here, which often brings with it some kind of New Years resolution. It’s a good thing to think about what we’re eating or not eating, about our health and our financial picture and our relationships, but at the beginning of a new year, the question most people end up focusing on, just because of our culture, is, “What should I do about me? How do I make me a better version of me? How do I get slimmer or stronger or smarter or get out of debt?” All those things are good. But for us, for the next few weeks, we’re going to focus our attention on a broader, and really, a better question. This question is a little bit threatening, which is why we’re gonna talk about it for four weeks.

2017 is ending and 2018 is just hours away.  Do you consider what happened in 2017? Was it a good year? Was it a bad year? Was it a, “meh” year? And what about 2018? Do you make resolutions for the new year? What can you anticipate on the horizon? What would you like to happen?

Review and Renew is a message all about considering what the past year looked like and then putting goals and plans in place to make the coming year the best it can possibly be.

Many people in our American culture work hard to find a way to get rich, but what if we flipped that and instead of trying to “get rich” we did everything we could to “Be Rich”?

Be Rich ’17 is a series the focuses our attention off of ourselves and onto God and others and shows us how God wants us to respond to his blessings. It teaches us how to love beyond myself, serve beyond myself and give beyond myself. This series puts a fresh perspective on what being ‘rich’ really means and how we can honor God with the richness of our time, talent and treasure.

Our faith in God seems to depend on His activity—or inactivity—in our daily lives. When prayers are answered, our faith is strong. When there is no answer, or not the answer we want, our faith takes a dive. When a “miracle” takes place, our faith skyrockets, but when God seems silent, we wonder if He’s even listening.

But our faith doesn’t have to be on a roller-coaster, and when we understand what faith is we have a whole new perspective.

This series will give you a new perspective on faith, one that works when God answers prayers the way you want Him to, and works when He doesn’t answer the way we want Him to. This is a great series for people with questions about faith or wanting to explore faith. Invite a friend and join us!
