It is our hope that these will become habits of faith your kids can engage in all year long! This week, Ryan and Sarah examine the practices of social justice. Just like the word evangelism, this can seem like a big , scary word, but for a different reason. Often times this word gets tied into the political realm, and its true meaning can become lost. Ryan and Sarah discuss how Jesus told us the most important commands were to love God and love others. Our love of others flows from our love of God, and any justice work that we do is done in partnership with God to bring about God's kingdom in the here and now.

The reason we overlook or pass by this part of the Lord's Prayer is not out of maliciousness, but lack of deep awareness of our need.

We are entering into a new teaching series based on the Lord's Prayer for this season of Lent. We will be focusing on these familiar words that most of us have recited by heart for many years. We are going to take this season to see how this sacred text unifies us to one another as well as generations before and after us. We hope through this teaching that we can all recite the words with a fresh inspiration and meaning.  This week, pastor Karla reveals how aligning ourselves to God's will is the journey of discipleship, and our prayer life affects God's Kingdom coming.

We are wrapping up the sermon series we started in September on 1 Corinthians to coincide with our school year theme of "Choosing Unity". You and I both know how polarized our world is right now and how much more fractured it can become in an election season. We have lost the ability to really listen to one another. We take sides. We take positions and, let's be honest, sometimes we forget why. Now more than ever the Church has a responsibility to be bridge builders and peacemakers in our community. Our bodies matter for eternity, but it may not be in the way you have imagined.  Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:35-57 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

As we transition our of our Advent Series and back into our Choosing Unity Series this Spring, we still have some things to talk regarding the birth of Christ. Today, Rev. Dr. Chris Lenocker officially closes out our "With Great Expectation" Series by revisiting the question posed to us at the beginning of the series: "What child is this?" But Pastor Chris takes the question a step further and deeper by asking, "Who has this Child become for us?" What does it mean for Jesus to dwell among us? How does the presence of God's grace and truth impact our lives today?
