Choose Church
BEING CHALLENGE: Choose Church
In the time when Jesus lived, the people assembled in either the temple or a synagogue. In all four Gospel accounts, on several different occasions, it is mentioned that Jesus was found at the temple or synagogues on a daily basis. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Church is not just something we do to feel good, it is an important spiritual habit that Jesus practiced and God’s Word encourages.WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Jesus had an extremely busy life. He was a very wanted man, crowds continually followed Him, pressed in on Him, and made requests of Him, etc. And yet, in the midst of all the busyness, Jesus was never so hurried that He missed out on the one person that He needed most. Solitude with God allowed Jesus to stay focused on the mission God called Him to. God has also called you to live on mission for Him.

BEING CHALLENGE: Prioritize PrayerIn the Scriptures, we see Jesus praying alone, early, often and consistently. We see Him pray in nature, in solitude, overnight, before miracles, to offer thanksgiving, in the midst of difficulty, and even when He doesn’t like what’s ahead. Prayer was always a priority in the life of Jesus in every circumstance. Today we’ll learn about the keystone habit of prioritizing prayer in our lives. - Mar 20, 2022Study ScriptureStudy Scripture
BEING CHALLENGE: Study Scripture
In the only documented story, we have of Jesus Christ as a grown child, we see Him at the temple talking with and learning from the scholars about the Scriptures. At the end of that story, in Luke 2:52, we are told that Jesus Christ continued to grow in wisdom. Are you continuing to grow in wisdom? Studying Scripture allows you to gain wisdom about who God is and about who you are as His child. - Mar 13, 2022Commit to CommunityCommit to Community
BEING CHALLENGE: Commit to Community
In all four of the Gospels it didn’t take long for Jesus to choose his disciples (Matthew 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20, Luke 6:12-15, John 2:35-42). He committed to these men and did life with them. This week in the Being Challenge, we are looking at the importance of the people you surround yourself with. - Mar 6, 2022Keystone HabitsKeystone Habits220313 Sermon PDF
BEING CHALLENGE: Keystone Habits
The most important target to hit as a disciple of Jesus is BEING in a relationship with Him. We know what it’s like to have the desire to grow in our relationship with God and yet feel stagnant. The Being Challenge will lead you to a stronger relationship with God through simple challenges that focus on the 5 keystone habits of Jesus: community, scripture, prayer, solitude and church.
