Stories from the Fields

From September 1 to October 13, Consecration Sunday, Pastors Allen and Spencer preach a series of sermon from Matthew 13 called, “Stories from the Fields.” As NT scholar Dale Brunner notes of the 13th chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, “When we pray the Lord’s Prayer we often wonder what we mean when we pray ‘thy kingdom come.’ Matthew 13’s string of seven parables, six of which begin by saying, ‘the kingdom of heaven is like,’ teach what Matthew believed the Kingdom means.” One feature of these stories is that Jesus is ‘aggressively demanding’ in His response. These sermons lead us through our stewardship emphasis and remind us of our Growth the Kingdom commitments.
 
Memory Verse: ““The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field” (Matthew 13: 44)

Sunday School and Adult Spiritual Formation kicks off September 15

Discovery Bible Study

Would you like to discover for yourself what God is like and how God wants you to live? Would you like to be taught by God?
 
DBS groups will be forming. These small groups begin by asking God to be the teacher as a series of passages from Scripture begin with creation and build to the Gospels. The study offers a fresh look at what we learn about God and what we learn about people from God’s point of view – what He says. A sense of what needs to be done in response follows. Discover for yourself! Contact Joyce Peacock, Pam Engle or the Church office at 856.235.1688.
 

Adult Spiritual Formation

Sundays, September 15 – November 19, 10:15 – 11:15 am

Fall Engagement Project

Wednesday Evenings, 7:00 pm
September 11 – November 13

The Engagement Project is a 10-week small group teaching program which will meet Wednesday evenings at the church. When we draw near to God and contemplate His divine nature, it exposes us, as it did Isaiah. But it also awakens us to His Truth, which transforms us and calls us to engage the world around us. After we engage, we seek to restore the Truth of God in all areas of life.
