God's Story, Our Story. Death is defeated and our relationship is restored.

There is no event in human history with a larger impact than the death and resurrection of Jesus. But why? Why do Christians keep this event so central to our faith? That's what we'll be talking about in today's episode. 

God's Story, Our Story. Jesus is the Center

Today we look at the person of Jesus. Jesus reveals God to us more completely than any other prophet or writer can, and that has implications for how we understand the Bible and the teachings from Jesus.  
 
Join us as we explore the implications!

God's Story, Our Story. The Power of God's Love

This week Eric again brings us the message, this time from John 3. This is a well know part of scripture and Eric did a great job going deeper with it for us! 
 
Enjoy this lesson on another important part of Jesus' ministry.

God's Story, Our Story. The Yoke of Jesus.

The next couple of Sundays we'll be learning about some of Jesus' well known teachings. This Sunday we have guest preacher Eric Sipes with us to talk about the "easy yoke" and "light burden" of Jesus from Matthew 11. 

God's Story, Our Story. Be Like God?

Sometimes it's hard to get along with people who don't see the world like we do. Today our world has split and polarized along lines of beliefs and opinions and worldviews, and it is easy to belittle the "other side."
But Jesus gives us a challenging teaching that mandates we do something different. 
Listen in to see how Jesus teaches that our actions towards others should mirror God's actions towards us. 
 
Be Our Guest Sunday is April 12. Sign up to visit our church on our website: https://www.scienceridgechurch.org/plan-your-visit
 

God's Story, Our Story. How does Jesus influence people?

How do you get people to like you? Jesus wrestled with some similar challenges. 
What kind of Messiah will Jesus be? How will Jesus gain a following? That is one of the questions we ask as we explore the beginning of Jesus' ministry. 
(Stay tuned to the end and I share a 2nd idea about the symbolism of Jesus' temptations.)
You are also welcome to join us for the Be Our Guest Sunday, April 12, 10am.   https://www.scienceridgechurch.org/plan-your-visit

God's Story, Our Story. Why Does Jesus get Baptized?

Why does a sinless Jesus request to have a baptism of repentance? 
That is what we will explore in this massage as we begin to explore the ministry and message of Jesus. 
 
If you are curious about church or are wondering about the best Sunday to check us out, mark your calendar for April 12. We have a special "Be Our Guest" Sunday at 10am, followed by a free meal. We'd love to have you join us!

God's Story Our Story, Jesus According to the Angels

The promised Messiah has come! But who is this child? Today we look at Luke 2:11. The angels can't contain their excitement and they rush to find someone to tell about this wonderful thing that has happened.
Jesus is Savior, Messiah, and Lord, According to the angels. 

Gods Story, Our Story. The Missing 400 Years.

The Bible is missing 400 years! There is a large gap between the Old Testament and the New Testament. How did the Romans get there? What impact did Alexander the Great have? Today we explore what is happening to the people of Israel between the return from Exile and the birth of Jesus. 

Gods Story, Our Story. How Exile Transforms Us

The people of Israel have gone into Exile. They experienced the consequences of being the "People of God" who were not actually representing God to the world. Now they have been in Exile for 70 years. How has this experienced changed them? How can God transform our experiences of being lost and cut off from what we are familiar with? Tune in to find out!
