About the Series

April/May 2024

As followers of Jesus—and as Jesus transforms our hearts—we yearn to align our lives with His way and His Word, yielding to His design, His plans, and His will for our lives as we live out our faith and share the hope of Christ.

Through the lens of God’s Word, this series unpacks what is good and true amidst the cultural pressures of today’s world. Exploring topics like identity, mental health, politics, marriage, family, and conflict, each message provides valuable insight and practical wisdom to help us uphold biblical principles with a Christlike posture as faith and culture intersect.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1–2).

Scripture References: Deuteronomy 1:6-8

From Series: "The Thread Between"

As followers of Jesus, we can look back on our lives and point to specific moments in which the Lord worked in our lives or in our church in unique—and even sometimes, miraculous—ways. Those moments are significant. They stand out in our memories, and they give us fuel to keep moving forward when things get difficult. The evidence of God’s work in our lives leads us to celebrate those moments and to even long for the next one, praying that God will continue to do unique things in our lives and in the life of our church. Many times, as we look at those high points, we miss the everyday, ongoing process of faithfully following Jesus. The practice of allowing Jesus to transform us through His Word, gathering with other Christians, and investing faithfully in His work can get lost as we search for the next big moment. But it’s that consistent, faithful approach—continually valuing the things Jesus sees as important—and the implementation of making those habits a part of our lives that brings the space and opportunity for God to do unique and special things through us. It’s the thread between the moments.
