Choice dominates our lives, and the unending options for content can leave us feeling paralyzed and stuck. This series explores disciplines of faith that Jesus preached and encouraged His disciples to practice. As we explore, we note how these 'old' disciplines are vital for holy living in the midst of modern temptations. We explore Awe, Community, Forgiveness, Silence, Fasting, and Scripture.

Jesus Christ answers our deepest thirst and our gnawing hunger. He is the inextinguishable Light in overwhelming darkness, the unchanging Truth in our self-created confusion, the homeward Way when we are lost. He is the Vine from whom we grow and the Life for which we desperately long. He is I AM. Our Lenten series focuses our attention to reflect Paul in Philippians 3:10-12: "I want to know Christ--yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."

When our circumstances feel like a crisis, we as God's people face several risks. The first risk is to turn nostalgic-think of the glory days! A second risk is to despair-we are forgotten, and there is no hope! Another risk is to deny--everything is 'just fine!' These risks face us today, and they also faced God's people in ancient Judah. The prophet Jeremiah confronts these ancient tendencies by speaking God's truth that God remains King, we remain His people, and we need His deliverance.

Jeremiah 32 tells a restoration story in which Jeremiah is to buy a field for AFTER Jerusalem is destroyed.

Advent is a season of the year where the Church of Jesus Christ anticipates His coming. We anticipate celebrating His first coming - the incarnation- God in the flesh! We also anticipate His second coming, when He returns to make all things new. John the Baptist was tasked with the special job of preparing the way for the first coming of Jesus. Like John, we are also to point to Jesus as the Hope of the World, the True Light and King we have been waiting for. This Advent, we listen to John the Baptist help us as we wait.

Psalm 23 has been a well-loved prayer for generations. David's pastoral language is recited at bedsides and sung in cathedrals. There are good reasons to cherish this psalm. Throughout the month of November we will walk through this psalm to discover anew (or perhaps again), the God who is our Good Shepherd.
