Part 1

Why Small Groups? -- Pastor Scott RobersonWhat does it take to become the kind of people God wants us to be? The usual answers -- Bible study, prayer, serving, etc. -- are all true and important, but don’t overlook a crucial ingredient.

Part 5 - How Will You Welcome Jesus?

Part 4 - Today’s speaker is Gregg Swanson. Gregg is one of our elders, a Bible Explorer group teacher, and part of our preaching team.

Part 22 - We like having lots of options in life. When it comes to what to eat, what to read or watch, how to spend our time or money, we prefer having many alternatives. But Jesus says that when it comes to the biggest issue in life, there are only two options.

Part 21, Living by faith in Jesus Christ is described in many ways in the Bible: running a marathon, fighting a boxing match, following a good shepherd, even eating and drinking a great feast. But one of the simplest descriptions is asking, seeking and knocking. What does it mean?

Today’s speaker is Dan Abitz. Dan is an elder of Felida Baptist Church, teacher of one of our adult Bible Explorer Groups, and part of our preaching team.

What did Jesus mean when he said, "Judge not?" Clearly, he meant something different on another occasion when he said, "Judge with right judgment." What's the difference?

Part 19 - Anxiety is a problem, not just because it's unpleasant, but because it's contrary to the way Jesus wants us to live. Fretful worrying sends the wrong messsage about God, and it interferes with the good things he wants us to do.

Part 18 - It's really not a question of if we will pursue treasure; the only question is what kind of treasure we will pursue. Jesus says that the treasures we choose have eternal consequences.

Part 17 - After giving us the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus makes a stunning connection between God forgiving us and us forgiving others. What did he mean? Just how important is it that we forgive?

Part 16 - After teaching us to pray for our Father in heaven’s will to be done, Jesus tells us to ask him for the things we need. Why do we need to do this, especially since Jesus told us our Father knows what we need? What’s the point of praying about it?

Part 2b Throughout history Jesus has done unimaginable things. John 12:1-8 reveals the significance of our response.

Part 2a - Responding To The Unimaginable Throughout history Jesus has done unimaginable things. John 12:1-8 reveals the significance of our response.

Part 15 God’s will is sometimes a mysterious topic for many people. How do we know what it is? In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us to pray that God’s will be done. What are we asking for when we pray this?

Part 14The first thing Jesus instructs us to pray about in his model prayer is that our Father’s name be hallowed. What does that mean and why is it important? What happens in our lives when God grants this request?

Part 13 How should we pray? Our concern is usually for things like the words we should say, but Jesus is concerned about something much deeper: our heart attitude toward prayer. How does God want us to approach him when we pray?
