On Sunday March 9, we began a new sermon series based on the devotional “Forty days of Fruitful Living- Practicing a Life of Grace,” written by Robert Schnanse.
- Radical Hospitality
- Passionate Worship
- Intentional Faith Development
- Risk-Taking Mission and Service
- Extravagant Generosity
Like an athlete honing his or her skills and developing muscle memory, none of these practices happens automatically. We must intentionally partner with the Holy Spirit in order to grow spiritually.
“Christianity is a way of life; not a system of beliefs.”
Sermon Schedule for Lent
The sermons during both services will introduce the topic for the upcoming week’s devotional readings and small group discussions. The schedule is as follows:
| March 9 | “Radical Hospitality Imitates Christ” | Matt. 24:34-40 |
| March 16 | “Passionate Worship Stops, Looks, Listens” | Rom 12:1-2, 2 Sam. 6 |
| March 23 | “Intentional Faith Development Learns to Soar” | Eph. 3:14-21 |
| March 30 | “Intentional Risk Taking Mission & Service” | Matt. 9:35-37 |
| April 6 | “Extravagant Generosity Demands Practice” | 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 |

Want to Dive Deeper?
We’re providing opportunities to go beyond the sermons and to be more intentional about applying these practices to our lives so that we can grow closer to God.
Devotionals
In addition to the sermons, devotional books have been made available to the congregation for use during this Lenten season. The books provide five weeks of daily devotions, and each article follows up on the theme introduced by that week’s sermon.
Small Groups
Small groups will meet during the Tuesday Study Series, and we will share our insights into the devotional articles and into the sermon. Both the “Endurance” and Potter’s Hand adult small groups are studying this series.
