There are many who believe God to be a God of anger and judgment, but the truth is, God shows himself first and foremost as a God of mercy. Luke said it this way: A new day will dawn on us from above because our God is loving and merciful. (Luke 1:78, GW)

Mercy is: undeserved forgiveness and unearned kindness. Undeserved forgiveness and unearned kindness is what God offers to us every moment of every day. And while God’s holiness demands justice, His love for us is demonstrated in His mercy extended to us. The Miracle of Mercy series will not only teach us about God’s mercy toward us, but will help each of us cultivate a heart of mercy toward others.

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.
