In a culture that celebrates celebrity stardom, idolizes professional athletes as the best of the best, and constantly pushes for success, perhaps no virtue of God is more forgotten than the virtue of humility. And yet Jesus consistently, continually modeled a different kind of life marked by genuine humility. Yet, while we know humility is important and to be exemplified in our lives we all struggle with practicing such humility. How do we expect “great things” as a church and in our own lives while living lives of humility? What does it mean to live a life of humility? Why is it necessary for a genuine walk with God? We will seek to answer these and other questions as we attempt to pursue a way of life not often traveled by many in our culture, the holy practice of humility.

We will use this theme to kick off the new year as we explore the book of James in its entirety. James is a well-known Biblical book about putting faith into action. People are often anxious to begin the new year “on the right foot” and put resolutions, etc into practice. As a church, we want to begin the year by acting on our faith in Christ. In this sermon series we explore the book of James as a whole, covering one chapter each week. We also will use this series to invite all small groups to study the book of James in a corporate fashion throughout the month of January. In this series we will encourage all small groups to get involved (if they are not already) in some of the key sending activities of the church and in that way, JUST DO IT! This approach should allow for greater alignment in our vision and impact in the church as a whole as we focus and serve together. We will also touch on how to find time in the midst of our busyness to DO IT all. In this way, we will hopefully begin the new year with a bang!

In this sermon series we will walk through Advent by exploring the unexpected way in which God moved---dare we say conspired?--- to save the world. Normally when we think of “conspiring” against the world we think espionage and spies and strength and might to fight others to get our own way. However, when Christ conspires against the world He does it in a way to save the world… and He does it in the most unexpected of ways… with the most unusual of “weapons”--through hope, peace, joy, and love. Join us in this sermon series as we move towards the birth of Christ where Christ will move in every way except the way we expected. This Christmas season, expect the unexpected.

We see what Real Thanks looks like as we study the 10 lepers.
Let’s face it, when it comes to living with others, and doing life with others, it can have its share of trying moments. Even people we like can get on our nerves! How much worse is it when we may not like them? Yet God calls us to do life together… God has designed us to do life together… God desires us to do life together. So how do we do it? How do we effectively share in community and share in life together? Join us in this sermon series as we seek to explore how to maximize and appreciate our time together with each other. In a world that focuses upon “me, me, me” yet leaves us wanting, come discover a life that focuses upon God’s idea of “us, us, us” and be surprised at what is discovered. We tend to think of community as a “nice” but not “necessary” part of life. Come discover why life together is not only fulfilling, but essential for “full living” and the hope of the world. And come be surprised what happens when we let our walls down, and let others in.

In this sermon series we will focus on how EVERYTHING is meant to be useful and beneficial in the building of God’s kingdom… from the “obvious” spiritual practices of prayer and Bible study to the less obvious ones of how to use our resources and dealing with facilities. In this series we will focus upon the upcoming Vision Initiative with the theme of God’s Vision being Our Future and the call to stewardship this brings. But in doing this we will remind everyone that everything is meant to be spiritual and used for God’s purposes. So as we talk about money and facility improvement and the hiring of people for jobs, etc. we will recognize how these things are indeed spiritual and meant to be used for the glory of God. In many ways we will also explore a theology of money and again seek to understand how something as “slippery” as the usage of money is meant to be spiritual in nature in order to glorify God. And in this series we will examine how our treatment of finances challenges us in the depth of our discipleship.

We can accuse God of many things. We can accuse God of being mysterious… or confusing… or even crazy (to love us so much!). But one thing we cannot accuse God of is that God is boring. Boring implies static, bland, and stationary. But God is anything but boring. This God is always on the move and inviting us to move with God, alongside of God. This God is constantly moving us, and when necessary, shifting us, from one place to another so that we grow in connection with God… in other words, God is constantly transforming us. That’s what we at First Church are all about… being shifted, changed, transformed in God’s love. Come explore with us what it means for us to be shifted into “high gear” with God as we carefully unpack God’s vision of transformation for us through inviting, teaching, and sending. We will examine exactly what that might mean for us as a church and the jolt… i.e. the shift… that may cause in how we operate. What shifts in our mindset and in how we operate might be needed? God is on the move. Will we join with God in that movement? Will we shift our lives to join with God’s? Let’s shift together…

This week we will seek to remember that prayer is more dangerous than we suppose. Afterall, prayer is the fuel to the fire of God’s movement among us. Perhaps we should not take prayer quite so casually.
. Do we take prayer casually? Or do we find ourselves completely dependent, dare we say “desperately reliant” upon God? Even through our fears and tears? This week we will also look at what it means to pray in the Spirit of God and to seek to understand that deep, intimate, powerful connection with God as we pray.
A famous media personality used to once say, “And now… the rest of the story…?” And then they would go on to give more information and some of the back ground to a particular story they were sharing with their audience because, well, people want to know. Intrinsically we are a people who like to know the rest of the story, or the whole story, but we have a natural tendency to only focus on a small part of the story. Even though we like to know the big picture, we tend to only focus on what is right in front of us. Sometimes Christians ONLY focus on Jesus… but there is much more to the Bible than Jesus. Sometimes Christians only focus on the brokenness of human beings and their sad state, but there is more to the Bible than simply the fallen nature of humans. And some folks like to only talk about “end times” and what that will be like, but the Bible talks about a lot more than simply what will happen in the last days. When we look at the entire story, all of what God wants to share with us, we see the beauty and depth of God’s perfect love for us and the lengths God was willing to go to share such love with us. And in that love we see its lasting power. Join us in this sermon series as we examine the entire Biblical narrative… from start to finish (in broad strokes of course!) as we look at the whole story… from Creation, to the Fall, to Redemption, to Restoration.
We will close the series this week and summarize why the church being the church as God designed it is so incredibly important. Our focus will be on going OUT to share the name of Jesus Christ… despite whatever persecution or hardships may come our way.
Like it or not, the church is made up of real people with real problems and issues. When we get into each other’s lives, things can get messy. Rarely do things go as we plan or intend, and yet, despite it all, God continues to use the church. The church comes across as inauthentic and fake when it refuses to acknowledge its short-comings. But when we get real—mistakes and all-- God offers hope, life, and grace in spite of it all and desires to use the church despite its human short-comings. We will focus on the importance of being real and getting into each other’s lives through discipleship, mentoring, and accountability.
This week we will focus upon the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the ultimate signs of the changed, saved, and transformed life offered in Jesus Christ. The church alone is uniquely qualified to offer these holy sacraments. In a world searching for meaning through cheap substitutes of transformation, the church can offer real life and transformation.
One of the church’s greatest strengths is its ability to serve others rather than itself. The church is the one medium that brings together all of the other spheres of influence in society. What could the church do when it makes it more of a priority to serve others than itself? People desire to be healed. They are looking for wholeness. The church has the ability to offer healing in Christ by serving as the hands and feet of Christ.
ere we will explore why the simple (but powerful) act of gathering is important. Many feel they do not need to gather with others, but from moment one in Acts the church is called to gather in the Holy Spirit for prayer, sharing, fellowship, joy, power, and authenticity—and that provides hope for all--believers and the world. Such a culture cannot be achieved alone.
Each of us are affected by our families. All of us belong to one kind of family or another. All of us have mothers and fathers, whether we know them well or just a little bit, or not at all. And all of us have unique family dynamics that we deal with. Some of us have brothers and sisters, some of us do not. Some of us are married, some of us are not. Some of us have married parents, some of us do not. And whether we are married or not, or have children or not, we all know folks who are married or have children. What does God have to say about family dynamics? Between parents and children? About moms or dads? About Marriage? In a world where the pressures and tensions on our families are growing all the time come join us in this sermon series as we examine why family matters and why God desires our human families to be a part of the family of God. Family is more important than we realize…family matters. Beginning on May 12 with Mothers’ Day and continuing through June 16 with Father’s Day we will share in this series entitled: “Family Matters.”

Marriage is so important in our lives and in our families that we want to spend another week on this topic. In addition to offering encouragement in marriage, we want to offer some practical tips on how to cultivate a healthy marriage this week.
Today we will be talking about the importance of marriage and how vital it is to work at our marriages, given all of the strains against marriage in our current society. Even if we are not married ourselves, we all know someone who is married and therefore this topic impacts us all

And how can we really describe one who was fully human and fully divine? What kind of man is that? Join us in this series as we examine the wonderful, radical, multi-dimensional, full-of-color Jesus as we ask and explore the question, “Who Is This Man…really?”
In this sermon series come explore the Jesus you thought you knew… or perhaps never knew. We will examine Jesus, the victor over death, and explore carefully who He really is. Contrary to our normal way of thinking, Jesus is much, much more than the one-dimensional boxes we tend to put him in. Was Jesus a man who always held His emotions in check or did he get angry, cry, laugh, and party? Was Jesus boring or did He bring forth new life in new ways? Did Jesus always play by the rules or was He a rule-breaker? And how can we really describe one who was fully human and fully divine? What kind of man is that? Join us in this series as we examine the wonderful, radical, multi-dimensional, full-of-color Jesus as we ask and explore the question, “Who Is This Man…really?”
This is a focus upon the extreme demands Jesus places upon discipleship and points how the religious are not necessarily who Jesus deems as worthy. How do we reconcile the extremity of Jesus’ statements?
If you knew that you only had a few hours to live, that today was your last day on earth, what would you say? What would you share? What is most important to offer? In this sermon series those are the exact questions that we will explore for Jesus when He knew that He was dying upon the cross and that His time on earth was almost up. This series will be our Lenten sermon series leading up to Easter. We will take a careful look at the final 7 words, or statements, that Jesus spoke from the cross while dying. And we will examine why He might have spoken these words (rather than others), what they meant to those He spoke them to, and what relevance they might have for us today.

In this series we will explore 5 of life’s biggest questions when it comes to God. These are questions that we have either wondered about and not explored because we felt overwhelmed by them, or questions that keep coming back to us over and over again. These are also questions that apply to us whether we consider ourselves close to God or not. Most likely these are questions that you have debated around dinner tables, with friends, or with family members at one time or another. Come explore and discuss some of life’s biggest questions with us and invite your friends into the conversation as well.
Looking at and understanding what Jesus said about hell.
Looking at the question of absolute truth in our lives....
