Spiritual Refugees

1 Timothy 4:7-8, Christmas, Eric Bryant, John Burke, Kenny Green, Matthew 22:1-10, Refugee, Spiritual Refugees

Sunday, December 18th

There are lots of times in life when we need a safe place: when we feel beaten down from the pace of life, when we feel we can’t live up to people’s expectations, when we’ve made a terrible mistake and have no place to turn, when we feel chained to an addiction or stuck in sinful patterns that hurt us and harm others. But where do we turn when we need a safe place?

Local Refugees

Christmas, Deuteronomy 26:12, Eric Bryant, John Burke, Kenny Green, Local Refugees, Matthew 2:1-18, Refugee

Sunday, December 11th

It seems there’s constant crisis with war, poverty, sickness and natural disaster in our world today. Likely, most of us feel powerless in the face of so much chaos, so we tune out the pain and focus on the near and familiar. However, with refugees here in our own city, it’s harder to ignore the needs that are practically on our doorstep. How can we raise our heads above our own self-interest to see those desperate for us to care?

Christmas, Eric Bryant, Global Refugees, John Burke, Kenny Green, Luke 2:1-14, Matthew 25:31-40, Refugee

Sunday, December 4th

While most of us are preparing for Christmas, millions of displaced people around the world are wondering what the future holds and whether or not they’ll see home again. It’s a sobering thought. The question is — should we care? Does this matter to us? And why would we talk about this leading into Christmas?

Epic Fail? :: Financial Failure

Epic Fail?, Eric Bryant, Financial Failure, John Burke

Sunday, November 20th

One of our top fears, according to Gallup and other polls, is losing everything. Most of us are wealthier than 6 billion people and yet it’s never enough. We still fear and don’t feel rich when in fact we are. Why is it never enough? It’s ironic. We fear God wants to take from us, when in fact God wants to make us rich — truly rich. But what is truly rich?

Sunday, November 13th

Epic Fail? :: Moral Failure

2 Samuel 11-12, David, Epic Fail?, Eric Bryant, Moral Failure, Robb Overholt

Sunday, November 6th

There’s a reason the saying, “To err is human,” exists — we all make mistakes. However, there’s a big difference between letting mistakes become a pattern versus allowing God to turn those mistakes into lessons from which we can heal and grow. So what perspective can we gain about the times we’ve had moral failures?

The Encounter :: The Risk

60/60 Experiment, Eric Bryant, Robb Overholt, Soul Rev App, Ted Beasley, The Encounter, The Risk

Sunday, October 23rd

Sometimes when we make a dramatic spiritual commitment, like doing the 60/60 experiment, we experience a spiritual high. We feel closer to God, more loving towards people and have a renewed passion and purpose. However, the hard part afterward is to risk answering the question, “what now?”

The Encounter :: The Healing

60/60 Experiment, Eric Bryant, John Burke, Kenny Green, Soul Rev App, The Encounter, The Healing

Sunday, October 16th

Just like we’re not meant to live without oxygen, we’re not meant to live life without God. Without God in our lives, we’re spiritually dead. Through Jesus, we can have a relationship with God, which makes it possible for us to stay connected to the spiritual oxygen God gives to live life to the full. How do we though keep remembering to breather in this “oxygen”?

The Encounter :: The Surrender

60/60 Experiment, Eric Bryant, Kenny Green, Soul Rev App, The Encounter, The Surrender

Sunday, October 9th

We all know there are good things we should do that we resist doing. Fear, pride or stubbornness keep us focused on doing things our way instead of God’s way. How can we surrender our desires and wills to God, who knows what’s truly best for us?

The Encounter :: The Response

60/60 Experiment, Eric Bryant, Kenny Green, Soul Rev App, Spiritual Growth Path, Ted Beasley, The Encounter, The Response

Sunday, October 2nd

A joyous, intimate, fulfilling, exciting life with God — many of us want it desperately, but we often feel as if it is unattainable. We crave His guidance for our decisions, comfort in our pain, provision in our need, companionship in our loneliness and inspiration in our search for purpose. As we make an intentional effort to invite Him into our lives through the 60/60 experiment, perhaps we’ve had an encounter with God that requires a response. Are we willing to take a risk by obeying His voice?
