Triumph: A Matter of Perspective Rick New: Saturday, Mar 3 11:00 am
Luke 19:28-48
We all have filters that influence the way we assess and evaluate events in our lives. This is never so apparent as to when we review the narrative of Jesus’ final week of ministry that lead to the cross and resurrection.

So how do you view that week with the benefit of history as your reference? Your
assessment is probably very different than what the participants in the actual event were.
But consider that you and I are the participants of events in real time. Do you consider your day to day events as leading to triumph?

Let God Metamorphoo You! Chad Reisig: Saturday, Mar 10 11:00 am
2 Corinthians 3:18
Sometimes, it seems like the harder we try to do what we think is good, the more we sink. Much like quicksand, the harder we struggle, the deeper we go, until everything feels like it is about to collapse in on us.

So, how do we affect change in our lives? How do we begin to live the lives God has created for each one of us? How do we climb out of the quicksand we so often find ourselves trapped? Come find out God’s mysterious plan.

The Vital Connection Rick New: Saturday, Mar 24 11:00 am
John 15:1-27
In our time of high unemployment and social structure we know that WHAT you know takes second place to WHO you know. Our culture has coined a phrase, “networking” to cover this reality.

In John chapter fifteen, Jesus not only illuminates this principle he also gives a level of measurement to evaluate your success in connecting.

Me????? Rick New: Saturday, Mar 31 11:00 am
Luke 22:17-23
Guilt is such an inconvenient element of life, isn’t it? Often it is undeserved and we need to shed it, but then again often guilt is real. In these cases guilt has an important role to play in starting us on a pathway toward healing.

Guilt is so uncomfortable that we would prefer someone else would take the blame. We might even try to shift the blame. But deep down inside that gnawing feeling that, “It might be me,” sends us into some level of response, healthy or unhealthy.

God allows guilt, or conviction if you will, in order to bring change that leads to wholeness. Just where you go is up to you.
