Resurrection

Why Does A Loving God Allow Suffering?

This is Week 1 of our 2-week Spring Break from Community Groups.

While your group may not meet, this could be an opportunity to meet up with 1 or 2 people from your group for dinner on the night your group would normally meet.

One-on-one connections provide an opportunity to deepen your friendship and build memories.

Or, you may want to just enjoy the chance to rest and prepare yourself for a strong finish to the Community Group year.

Our Spring Trimester meets for 6 weeks, beginning April 14th.

Unfiltered Pursuit

This is the first week of the Spring Group Trimester. If you have not met over the break, you may want to focus more on catching up personally and helping each other get acquainted with the online meeting platform. If you have been meeting through the break, this is a great opportunity to return to some “normalcy” and dive into the sermon discussion questions.

In addition to the sermon discussion questions you’ll find links below to help your group get setup to meet online, as well as resources to review growth goals and the group agreement.


2020.04.12 - Drew Karschner - "Unfiltered Pursuit" After rising from the dead, Jesus had a long conversation with two men who didn't recognize Him. They had heard Jesus’s tomb was empty, but they didn't believe He was alive. At the end of their conversation, they realized that not only was Jesus alive, but they were talking to Him. In their amazement, they ran seven miles back to Jerusalem to share the news with everyone. Is it possible the resurrected Jesus has been talking to you but you have missed Him? If you have met Him, are you responding as if you haven't? Luke 24:13-35

Still Rolling Stones

2019.04.21 - Drew Karschner - "Still Rolling Stones" Most people know the Easter story, but many haven’t felt and experienced the impact it can have on their everyday life. On Easter we celebrate Jesus conquering the grave and defeating death. And the truth is, this was one of many stones throughout history that Jesus rolled back. John 11

2018.04.01 - Drew Karschner- "Stronger Stuff" Part 3 of the "Overflow" series Sometimes in life you run into a problem or circumstance that is more than you can handle on your own. You used all of your strength and it wasn’t enough. You gave it all you had. The truth is, you need someone or something stronger. With the greatest act of generosity, God gave us His Son and through His death and resurrection we have access to much stronger stuff. Luke 24:1-6
