Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2

Read the Weekend Program

Scripture describes Christians as “a new creation.”  The old has gone, the new has come.

While that is a beautiful picture…what does it mean practically? What behaviors and attitudes should shine through in our lives as a new creation?

How should we treat each other as we seek unity?

Text: Ephesians 4:17-24

Read the Weekend Program

This whole experience called “Christianity” begins with God.  It is His initiative, His grace, His love, His sacrifice, and His blessing that brings us into this new relationship.  That’s the point of the first three chapters of Ephesians.

So, we’re in the family.  Now what?  How do we respond?  What role do I play?

Paul uses the metaphor of changing clothes to answer those questions.  It is a rather dramatic change.  And there are some segments of the transformation under my control.

Text: Ephesians 4:7-16

Read the Weekend Program

We’ve all been in situations where we look around and conclude, “I just don’t fit!”  It might be the language, the hair styles, the clothes, or the age.  We long for a place to belong and it just doesn’t seem to happen.

The Father designed the Church so that every follower of Jesus has a place.  And every living Christian is needed to accomplish the job Jesus left for us.  When we put our varied backgrounds, gifts and talents together, it works, amazingly!

Are you in your place, doing your job?

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:58

Read the Weekend Program

The Resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of all we believe.  It is our hope, because if Christ was not risen from the dead, there is no resurrection for us either.  Our faith then is useless.

Based on the truth of what happened that first Easter, we look forward to Heaven and a new body, someday.  That promise creates a longing in our hearts for what we don’t yet have.

But what about today, the here and now, the next couple of hours?  And, how can we best let the world know we believe in the Resurrection?

Weekend: April 21-22, 2012
Text: Revelation 21:1-22:5

Read the Weekend Program

Where is Heaven?  Most of us would answer the question with “up there somewhere.” And we’d probably add “it’s where God is.”  That’s a good answer, but there is more.

Though some believe Heaven is only a state of mind, the Bible teaches Heaven is a real place.  The Heaven where believers go today is actually only temporary.  When we get our new resurrected bodies, we will live in a Heaven that is permanent.  And the location will change!

Other questions that come up include “What happens between now and then?” and “What about Hell?”

Read the Weekend Program

Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep,If I shall die before I wake,I pray the Lord my soul to take.

You may have heard that prayer before or even learned it as a child.  But what would really happen to us as Christians if we died tonight? The idea of 60 seconds after you die, where will you be?  What will it be like?  Can our loved ones that have already passed away see our lives on Earth?
