Everyone has doubts. Just as we struggle with our own doubts, we are called to engage others as they struggle through theirs. It is part of our Christian witness and testimony not to disregard or disparage the doubts of others, but rather to share faithful and thoughtful responses to their doubts. This, after all, is what Jesus did.

Welcome to this service for Maundy Thursday. As the bread is broken and the cup is poured in this service, Christ’s body and blood serve as agents of God’s mercy to us who are broken by sin and thirsting for righteousness. We now live covered by God’s mercy. - Apr 10, 2022Choose ChurchChoose Church
BEING CHALLENGE: Choose Church
In the time when Jesus lived, the people assembled in either the temple or a synagogue. In all four Gospel accounts, on several different occasions, it is mentioned that Jesus was found at the temple or synagogues on a daily basis. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Church is not just something we do to feel good, it is an important spiritual habit that Jesus practiced and God’s Word encourages. - Apr 6, 2022Mercy in ServiceMercy in ServiceIN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY: Mercy in Service

- Apr 3, 2022Seek SolitudeSeek SolitudeBEING CHALLENGE:
Jesus had an extremely busy life. He was a very wanted man, crowds continually followed Him, pressed in on Him, and made requests of Him, etc. And yet, in the midst of all the busyness, Jesus was never so hurried that He missed out on the one person that He needed most. Solitude with God allowed Jesus to stay focused on the mission God called Him to. God has also called you to live on mission for Him.

- Mar 27, 2022Prioritize PrayerPrioritize Prayer
BEING CHALLENGE: Prioritize PrayerIn the Scriptures, we see Jesus praying alone, early, often and consistently. We see Him pray in nature, in solitude, overnight, before miracles, to offer thanksgiving, in the midst of difficulty, and even when He doesn’t like what’s ahead. Prayer was always a priority in the life of Jesus in every circumstance. Today we’ll learn about the keystone habit of prioritizing prayer in our lives. - Mar 23, 2022Mercy in BetrayalMercy in BetrayalIN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY: Mercy in Betrayal

BEING CHALLENGE: Study Scripture
In the only documented story, we have of Jesus Christ as a grown child, we see Him at the temple talking with and learning from the scholars about the Scriptures. At the end of that story, in Luke 2:52, we are told that Jesus Christ continued to grow in wisdom. Are you continuing to grow in wisdom? Studying Scripture allows you to gain wisdom about who God is and about who you are as His child. - Mar 16, 2022Mercy in SufferingMercy in SufferingIN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY: Mercy in Suffering

In all four of the Gospels it didn’t take long for Jesus to choose his disciples (Matthew 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20, Luke 6:12-15, John 2:35-42). He committed to these men and did life with them. This week in the Being Challenge, we are looking at the importance of the people you surround yourself with. - Mar 9, 2022Mercy in TemptationMercy in TemptationIN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY: Mercy in Temptation
