How Jesus Heals
How to Find Spiritual Freedom
Doing the Stuff
To open the series, we will show part of John Wimber's testimony, "I'm a Fool for Christ." (54:16-1:22:50) This is our founding story (Luke). God is still moving and healing and setting people free and we can partner with God in this work. We want people to understand what it is to be desperate for God and out of that place - ask God to move.
Jesus the Emmanuel | God With Us
The promise of God being with us is the goal toward which the whole universe is moving (Rev. 21:3). We could describe the scene from the book of Revelation - what it will be like when the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. But in order for God to be with us, God first had to die for us in order to bring us into the right relationship with himself. Then God had to dwell in us to transform us so that we would be suitable for the kingdom of God. The possible outline might be God for us, God in us, God with us. It's a picture of the hope that is available for all of us at Christmas. God will be with us, whatever we're going through. Even to the end of the age and for all eternity.
Jesus the Savior
The name "Jesus" means savior. What do we mean by Savior? The text 52:13-53:12 is quoted more often in the NT than any other OT text. It was a deep understanding of Is 53 that formed the apostolic understanding of what Jesus came to do. What salvation means - to be set free - redemption is at the heart of salvation. Most of us are not free, and we don't know how to get there. Salvation is not a word we usually use, but we do use Freedom. Personal liberation - I don't have to be bound.

Gathered to Become Generous
Gathered Around Jesus
Gathered: Why we gather around Jesus. There are so many things that we can gather around, so many things that we could define our lives around. Why should we take this moment to redefine our lives around Jesus and his kingdom? What is the value of that versus all of the other options available to us? (Another emphasis: there is a cost to the gathering but there is also a cost to not gathering. People's lives with Jesus are falling apart. Another emphasis: is to talk about why we gather as communities. This can be addressed in v. 8)
Recognition Weekend
We are taking a break from Nehemiah to celebrate every single one of our students... especially those who are moving up a significant milestone at school. We'll speak practically to students of all ages and encourage them that they can be confident in the work God is doing in and throught them as they grow into the people God has called them to be.
