    Tithing and Sabbath-keeping are not payments for God’s favor but grace-filled acts of worship—joyful, concrete responses to the God who first loved, first gave, and continues to work in us.

    In perhaps the most challenging parable to understand, Jesus calls us to use our worldly wealth for divine purposes, to be faithful where we are, and to keep God first in our lives.

    We cannot put our worth in things that we’ve gone out and possessed. WHY? Because when we do, we make it our hope and put it at risk of being destroyed (as God will ultimately get the victory in all things)! The tough part is, where will we put our trust?

    Isaiah, Part 2 Isaiah’s Warning to Today’s World Isaiah 2:1-22 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad that you’ve come to worship with us! - Last week, we discussed the revelation of Isaiah to God’s people -- If there was any encouragement we must takeaway it was this: ...read more

    The crowd cried for Jesus to be crucified and put to death but requested the killer, Barabbas be released in the streets. The truth was put to death but sin and death was released to the streets.

    “Give Us Barabbas” Intro: As we study God’s Word we find particular people who are mentioned briefly and we soon pass over their record without fully gleaning the full significance of their rolls nor their application for us today.

    Are you in His will?

    The Will of God We have made the will of God into something mystical and foggy.
