The Aha Moment John 16: 12-16 Aha! I can hear Him (v.12-13) Aha! I can understand Him (v.14-15) Aha! I can know Him (v. 16) Description - Have you ever had an "Aha!" moment? That moment that occurs, when all of the sudden, like a lightbulb driving out the darkness...something that was unclear becomes crystal clear. It is that moment when you think "duh!" why didn't I see this before? It is that moment when you finally "get it: and see something that you did not understand or that was hidden for some reason before. Those kind of moments can be fun, they can be helpful, and they can make us better. We need them spiritually as well. Today we discover how the "Aha!" moments for the early followers reminds us of how our "Aha!" moments can happen as well.

A Conspiracy – Tabloid (Session One) Topics/Passage: Luke 22:1-6, Players, Point, purpose Summary: There is nothing like a good conspiracy. The news media and social media sources just love them. From corporate cover-ups, to the bizarre and hard to explain, to political conspiracies that swirl through the reporting of pundits…the tabloids know that the idea of a conspiracy sells…Conspiracies, while usually intriguing, can be either good or bad depending on who is doing the conspiring for what purpose and for or against whom. (It does get very complicated at times, which is why conspiracy theories take on a life of their own) But when you take the time and look closely, the details matter…and the lessons learned can change us forever.

Compassion Tabloid-Week Six Matthew 3:1-10 Luke 11:37-46 It is not about __________ ...It is about __________ Matthew 3:1-10 It is not about __________...It is about __________ Luke 11:37-46 In "Compassion" we wrap up our look at some "Tabloid" passages with a look at some moments when "anger" seems to be taking over the moments and conversations. Have you ever wondered "what makes God angry?" and "does He really get angry?" In this final installment of the series, we look at some interesting passages and discover some things that should encourage and challenge us to be the people we were created to be.

Topics/Passage: Mark 8:6-13, Matthew 27:15-26 Summary: Our Tabloid series continues this week as we face a moment where we think the following… “I just don’t know” When that thought occurs we have to remember what follows is most important…in other words if you don’t know, if you aren’t sure, and you aren’t convinced about something, how do you decide if it is real or fake? People do that all the time with faith and with Jesus. It is not new, it happened in the first century just like it happens today. This week our tabloid headline reads “Counterfeit” and you have to decide what you believe.

Topics/Passage: Luke 2:41-52 Summary: Our adventure through the Tabliods in this series has shown us a Conspiracy, A Cover-up, and a Controvery. Each story was loaded with life lessons and each story gave us a chance to take a deeper look at Scripture and discover some new ways it applies to each of us. Today we find another story that is the kind of story that tabloids would love. It involves confusion, panic, stess, angst, frustration, and then unexpected moments. Yet once again, in the story we find a challenge that is just as real today as it was when the story unfolded. And you might see this story in a new way as you apply it to your life.

Topics/Passage: Matthew 10:34-39 Summary: In our Tabloid series we have taken a look at A Conspiracy and A Cover-Up and discovered that the words we read in Scripture had a huge impact in our lives today. In this edition of Tabloid we look at Controversy…and it is found in a statement made by Jesus. If the one statement is not enough, He then goes on to make some additional statements that leave many scratching their heads and trying to understand just what He means (Usually we never ask the question out loud, we just ponder it, and then ignore it and move on). Today we tackle the passage, see what He said, discover what He means, and then of course apply it to our lives as we discover some Tabloid truth that will help us today.

Topics/Passage: Fact, fear, future, Matthew 28:1-15 Summary: We are in a series where we are looking into the page of Scripture and discovering stories that have the ingredients of the kind of stuff you might find in a tabloid. As we dig into these stories we are discovering some life lessons that impact us in our lives today. This study looks at a cover-up. When something happens, it can be any event, those who are involved will retell the story. If there is some reason not to tell the entire story or edit it in some way, the story gets changed. Before long, a cover-up is taking place and people become convinced that it never happened at all. What does it take for the truth to become a lie? What would it take for that lie to be seen as truth once again. In this celebration worship experience we enter the world of a cover-up and find out, that whether we like it or not, we are involved in the story.

Bring everyone you know along with you for this unique time of worship and celebration.

Covenant April 21,2013 Rev . Jeff Dixon John 6 "What happens at the table" There are different folks at the table, those who are close to God, those who are not close but growing, those that are outside and are missing. John 6 - Jesus feeds the thousands - 5 thousand men and an unknown number of women and children. 1. Attitude -v26-36, v41-43 Your attitude ripples through everything in life. They grumbled. What is our attitude towards the things of God? Our attitudes speak volumes. Jesus doesn't operate the way we want. Our circumstances are right where He placed us to have maximum impact. 2. Initiative -v26-27 We lack initiative - our excuse is - we don't have permission. You have to take initiative to what we do with what God gives us. We are ministers. 3. Motion v48-51 Jesus gives us life. Are we living for Him? What happens at the table doesn't stay at the table.

Putting It All On The Table Not Just Any Table - Session Two John 21:15-25 Loading The Table With Food (v.17-19) Pushing Away From The Table (v.19-22) Resetting The Table (v.25) Summary and description - Putting It All on The Table is the second installment in a series where we are exploring the way church works. Now the church is people, the Bible is clear about that. And we join ourselves together as part of the body of Christ to form an outpost of the Kingdom of God in various places, we give these places a name (First Church, Church of the Confused, Second Baptist Church to the Left of First Street around The Corner From The Church I Used To Go To, etc, etc) and each ministry develops a sense of identity and a certain style. But when you begin to take a close look, any church that believes, trusts, and follows Jesus, must be doing certain things in order to fulfill the mission they are called to. Today we put it all on the table and take an honest, close, and personal look at what should be happ

Table Talk "Not Just Any Table" (Part One) John 6:25-40 THE INVITATION (v.25- 29) THE PREPARATION (v.30- 34) THE PRESENTATION (v.35-38) Summary- We begin a new series @ The Warehouse where you are invited to the table. But as the title suggests, this is "Not Just Any Table" Using the concept of the table we are going to spend some time getting an understanding of the way we engage the world around us for Jesus. The church is the table where we come in order to get fed. It’s where we find our healthy diet. But too many of us come to church with the me-istic attitude of, “Feed me,” We expect to find the food, the fuel that is necessary to survive in our own little world. But what we do with the food is just as important as the food itself. We have to be willing to push away from the table, to get outside of our comfort zones, and exercise. Today we begin with a little "table talk" that reminds us of some essentials to keep in mind as we think about the table.
