Hidden In The Shadows

COMMUNION

This is a great week to celebrate Communion in group as you discuss God's forgiveness and grace in spite of our sin and shame. Take a few minutes at the end of discussion and before prayer time to talk about how the Gospel relates to our shame and celebrate Communion.

2018.04.29 - Drew Karschner - "Hidden in the Shadows" Part 4 of the "Silent Killers" series In many situations, the guilty and the innocent have one thing in common: shame. Shame is a burden that many of us carry and it leads us to believe the lies of the enemy. Satan would like us to keep it to ourselves, but God longs to heal what He brings to the light. Matthew 26

When God Doesn't Come Through

2018.04.22 - Drew Karschner - "When God Doesn’t Come Through" Part 3 of the "Silent Killers" series Being let down by someone we care about can be devastating. We expected them to come through, but they didn’t. Although we may not realize it, expectations carry a heavy weight that often isn’t communicated. And if they are kept silent for too long, they can be deadly to our relationships. Matthew 26

Not Today

2018.04.15 - Drew Karschner- "Not Today" Part 2 of the "Silent Killers" series How you feel about yourself and your life is important. Many people live life without hope for themselves or the life they are living. They wonder if they were gone if anyone would even notice, and thoughts like this consume them. If these thoughts stay hidden long enough, the cost can be great.

2018.04.08 - Drew Karschner- "Get out of My Head" Part 1 of the "Silent Killers" series Worry is something most people struggle with. We worry about our finances, kids, jobs, health, and so many other things. Worry is often not expressed aloud but stays in our hearts and minds. The longer our worries stay silent the more deadly they become. Matthew 6
