A pilgrimage to Israel prompts an important question. After experiencing horrific injustice and pain, how can the Jewish people possess such forgiveness, such trust, such peace and such joy? Habakkuk 2:4b gives us insight. The righteous shall live by his faith. Key Verse: Habakkuk 2:4

Many times, we read the Psalms for personal comfort and encouragement. But often times, songs are the most compelling ways to express universal truths that can shape the way we live. Often times, there is a sermon in the song. The Sons of Korah wrote Psalm 46 to express the authority, stability, and strength of God. This Sunday we will explore what Psalm 46 is trying to say to us.

A Church is a community of people who are being healed and transformed by God. The New Testament writers refer to this journey with languages of new life of being born anew. But what are we to do after being reborn into God's community? Does the analogy stop being relevant to us? Or are we like all children expected to grow and mature in this new life that God has given us. This Sunday, we'll compare the lives of King David and King Saul to see the characteristics of spiritually mature people. Key Verses: 1 Samuel 15:1-35; 2 Samuel 11:1-12:15; Psalm 51; Philippians 2:1-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26

After the resurrection of Jesus, we read in Acts 1:8, He told his followers that they would receive power. The power of God is always for the purpose of influence. This influence changes communities for the good and for God. We can have that same power but we need to be willing to allow God to construct the necessary traits found in a person of influence. Acts 17:6,7; 1 Thess. 1:5-7; Phil. 1:4-7; Eph. 2:8-10; 1 Peter 2:12
