Choosing Sides

Steady

Joseph Series Wk 3 Scripture Reference: Genesis 41:15-16, 25-30, 39-40 How do people act or respond in the face of tragedy or hardship who really trust God?

How do we stay the course? -------------------------------------------------- Connect Card - cc.AshleyRidgeChurch.org Giving - give.ashleyridgechurch.org #ForSummerville #BetterTogetherSC #ForSVL #ReStart #Sunday...

Refuse to be Divided

Scripture Reference: Genesis 39 Have you ever done the right thing but still been treated like you did the wrong thing? If Joseph's life wasn't already difficult enough, he was accused of something he didn't do. When life goes wrong there is a way to stay on course: Refuse to Be Divided.

Find the Good

Scripture Reference: Genesis 37 and 39 and Galatians 6:9-10 In a year where so much has gone wrong, it's easy to be frustrated with everything we can't do.

Breathe

Ezekiel 37:1-14 2020 has felt like a series of gut punches - we just keep getting the wind knocked out of us and yet, here we are at a new beginning. So how do we move forward and begin again well? Turns out God has plenty to say….. we just need to breathe.

The Theology of Baseball

Scripture Reference: Romans 5:1-11 Much like the game of baseball, the life of faith is marked by defining moments, but measured with grace. The question is not “how good is good enough?” but rather, “How good is our God?

Everything Happens For a Reason

Scripture Reference: John 16:16-33 Things happen in life and we start to ask ourselves, “Why is this happening? What does this mean?” We want there to be order to the universe. We want to assign meaning to things so that nothing, and especially our trouble, feels like it’s in vain. But is that really how things work? Jesus actually has some things to say about the things life throws our way.

Your Sins Are Forgiven, Go and Do Whatever You Want

Scripture Reference: John 8:2-11 To be a follower, a disciple, a student of Jesus is not to get it all right right away, but growing in our faith is not just necessary, it’s essential. So how do we do it? Jesus’ encounter with a woman at the well has a few things to teach us.

You Get What You Deserve

Luke 23:32-43 You don’t always get what you deserve—and that’s a good thing. Celebrate grace, mercy, and second chances in a message from Pastor Jenn Williams and see why there’s hope, even when what we deserve is death.

Do What Makes You Happy

Scripture Reference: John 13:34-35 Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to say a lot of other stuff on social media, too. But where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said?

God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Luke 11:5-13 Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to say a lot of other stuff on social media, too. But where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said?

One Nation Under God

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1 & 3 and also the Gettysburg Address In 1954 the phrase "Under God" was taken from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and added to the Pledge of Allegiance. But long before either of those events took place, Paul described what it meant to find freedom under God. Join us for this special Independence Day message on how we live our freedom together.

Shifting Gears

Scripture Reference: Zechariah 4:1-7 -------------------------------------------------- For many of us, life feels all uphill right now and we’re tired. The natural response is to level up, but what if Jesus showed us a different approach? How do we keep going? It starts with a different well. #ForSummerville #BetterTogetherSC #ForSVL #BetterForIt

Becoming Better Through A Crisis

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 25:28 For many of us, there's something we wish we'd been doing all along to prepare for what is happening now.

UnCommon Destiny

Scripture Reference: Luke 2:25-35 It’s going to take an uncommon church, with everything in common, to share Jesus in an uncommon time, uncommon circumstances, and in uncommon places.
