January – “Rain or Shine”

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN RESILIENCE AND GOD’S CHARACTER, AS SHOWN THROUGH GOD’S BIG STORY

With every season comes new and different challenges but also the chance to experience incredible joy. Through sunshine or rain, storms, and blue skies, seasons and weather are important to growth, but not just for flowers and trees. How we respond to each season of life helps us grow in maturity and can spur us to a deeper faith in God. This is especially true when it comes to our emotions. Just as seasons come and go, so do our emotions. And how we choose to handle those emotions can shape us and teach us a lot about how God cares for us. No matter what emotion we may be feeling or what we may face, because of Jesus, we can learn to trust that God knows how we feel. Jesus showed us how to face life with resilience, and because of it, we can trust God no matter what.

WEEK ONE: Jesus Wept (John 11:1-45)
Bottom Line: When you’re sad, remember you’re not alone.

WEEK TWO: Do Not Worry (Matthew 6:25-34)
Bottom Line: When you’re worried, trust God.

WEEK THREE: Slow to Anger (James 1:19)
Bottom Line: When you’re angry, talk to God.

WEEK FOUR: Paul and Silas
Bottom Line: God can help you choose joy.

MEMORY VERSE: “Be strong, all you who put your hope in the Lord. Never give up.” Psalm 31:24

Life Groups

Sundays | 11am

Children’s Building

We believe kids learn best in a small group environment, therefore, we have designated a specific time out of our Sunday morning schedule just for groups. These life groups give us opportunities to reinforce the main point of the day and talk about actual life application at the individual level. All classes are divided into grade levels for the best developmental engagement.

JumpStart

February 2 | 11am

Room C232

JumpStart is a class for children who are asking questions about salvation and/or baptism and their parents. It is also for children who have recently accepted Jesus, been baptized, or joined the church by letter. Please register below or contact Lara Wren for more information.
