Sermon Series
Doers of the Word
Every growing disciple wants to follow Jesus, but sometimes it can be hard to know what that means in the day-in/day-out world we live in. Jesus’ brother, James, was inspired by God to write an epistle that addresses, in very practical terms, what it can look like to follow Jesus. We will spend 5 weeks considering what God’s word has to say about following Jesus with our actions, our eyes, out tongue, our calendar, and our waiting.
Apr 27: James 1:22-27 - Follow Jesus with Your Actions
May 4: James 2:1-9 - Follow Jesus with Your Eyes
May 11: James 3:1-12 - Follow Jesus with Your Tongue
May 18: James 4:13-17 - Follow Jesus with Your Calendar
May 25: James 5:7-11 - Follow Jesus with Your Waiting
Encounters with Jesus
This summer we are going to open up our gospels and study 14 unique encounters everyday people had with Jesus. We will do this by taking a virtual tour of the beautiful stained glass in our church’s “Encounters with Jesus Prayer Room.” Installed in 2012, this series of stained glass images explores the stories of ordinary people who met Jesus. While watching over livestock, fetching water, fishing, sharing a meal, or traveling along a road, these ordinary activities became inexplicably extraordinary because of Jesus. How might we, ourselves, encounter Jesus this summer as we study his Word?
