The month of January is nearly over. How are you doing with your New Year’s Resolutions? Perhaps some of you made a commitment to spend more time in the Scriptures. There are a number of reading plans which enable you to read through the Bible in one year. I’ve tried several of those over the years. Unfortunately, I have dropped out of most of them after a few weeks. My problem is that I get behind in the schedule and, realizing I’ll never catch up, I just quit. I do however, have one Bible reading plan that I have…

This week, in the Not a Fan study, we were challenged to define our relationship with Jesus. We were challenged to evaluate our relationship with Jesus to determine whether or not we’re fans or followers. To help us do this, we asked three questions:
- Why are you here?
- Are you all in?
- Have you made this faith your own?
Next week we’re going to see that the invitation to follow Jesus is open to everyone, no exceptions. Most rabbis in Jesus’ day had a very stringent criteria that students had to pass before they could become one of their disciples, but not Jesus. He accepted anyone, and He still does today. That means that no matter what your past was, you can still be one of His followers. Please invite someone you care about to join you as we continue this study

This Sunday we will begin a new series called Not a Fan. During this series, we will be challenged to take our relationship with Jesus to the next level. The first session will challenge us with three questions: Why are you here? Are you all in? Have you made it your own? We need to examine our reasons for going to church. Do we go because someone is forcing us, or because we simply like something about it that keeps drawing us back; or do we go because we love Jesus?… Read More
