Waynesburg Christian Church

The disciples were having an argument about status and who among them was the “greatest”... so they asked Jesus... “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” His answer probably took them by surprise... it may surprise you too.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night with sorrow over past mistakes? Are you ever troubled by dark memories and deep regret? Some find themselves tied to their past like a circus elephant attached to a stake – chained by its memory. How does the Lord speak to that?

Sometimes our lack of faith is really a lack of trust. The original lie spoken in the garden was in effect, “God is withholding good from you.” We are tempted to believe the same lie and take things into our own hands. Jesus has a word for us - a priority for us that would send us down a different path, and the ripple effects have the potential to change everything. How will we respond?

In churches all over the world on Sunday, people will be asked to consider the cross of Christ. The cross shows the extreme length to which God’s love has gone for us. Gazing at the foot of the cross we are asked to consider the power and possibilities within that love. This is a force that has changed the world and could still change the world if the followers of Jesus are ready to live into God’s love and live out God’s love.

Life is a journey... on the journey there will be many voices competing for your attention. On the journey there will be many different roads to take. How do you choose? “What matters most?” is a great clarifying question because it automatically silences many voices and negates many off-ramps. In our new sermon series, we will examine some places where Jesus defined priorities for those who would follow Him. As individuals and as a church we are in a new season of challenges and opportunities. Where do we go? Where do we focus our attention and efforts? Let’s focus on what Jesus said matters most and follow wherever that road takes us!

We all receive a legacy. We all leave a legacy. What are you going to do with what you have received? What are you going to leave?

When you marry someone, you are yoked to their well-being. When your spouse is good, then you are good. When they suffer, then you suffer too. There are many wonderful, beautiful days when the yoke is easy. There will also be some tough days when the yoke is hard. Marriage brings us face to face with our own weaknesses and our need for strength from beyond ourselves. Strength is available to us and our marriages in Jesus!

Have you come face to face with your weakness this week? Struggling with resentful thoughts? Fretting over work? Feeling forgotten? Sweating the finances? Is your marriage suffering? Are you in need of power because you sure are feeling those thorns (2 Corinthians 12)? Where do you turn? Jesus invites you to draw near! The SPACE of your weakness is often the PLACE where you find His power!

How are we to handle division in the church and in our world?

As soon as our eyes open in the morning we are on a mission for God!

We believe that God cares about each of us and each of our stories. Part of our stories is the homes that we were raised in and the parents that we have (or had). Parents have a profound impact on their children and the Bible speaks to how children in different stages of life can relate to their parents. In fact, there is one word that the Bible gives to help us know how to relate to our parents. What is that one word?

Parenting can feel like an overwhelming job, and we need to be reminded that we don’t have the resources and wisdom within ourselves to do it all. What we most desperately want as parents isn’t found in the next great vacation or the newest self-help book. It’s found in God. In every season of parenting (if we will lean in) God can teach us about himself. HE is the source we need to meet our children’s successes and failures with perspective and grace. He can parent us as we parent our children. Join us on Sunday morning to learn how!

think most parents ask questions like... Am I doing this right? Am I teaching my children all they need to know? Am I making the most of my time with them? As a default setting, parents love their children immensely, but few of us are confident that we are getting it right. There is hope for us as parents! The Scriptures give us some direction, but they also point to the God who is bigger than our biggest parent failures!

Happy Father's Day!
