Curious About Our Culture

from Sermon Central · host BrecksvilleUMC

We are in week 3 of our worship series—Curious Church: Wondering Our Way Forward. I’ve found that the best way to stay attuned to the leading of God’s Spirit is to come to God with curiosity. “What does the next season look like for us?” “How is God calling us to be a safe space here and now, at this time in history?” So, in this series, we’re going to get curious together: what is God up to—in us, in our neighbors, and in the world? And how is God calling us forward? This isn’t about having to “fix the church,” or having all the answers, but trusting that God is leading us to the incredible things we haven’t even imagined yet. If you think about it, this is how Jesus taught—through questions and parables and invitations, rather than easy answers. Today, curiosity leads us all the way back to the Babylonian exile.

Join us as we study God's word and how it applies to our daily lives. The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
