Life often feels overwhelming when we try to keep everything under control, but Jesus invites us to come to Him for rest. Throughout the Bible, Sabbath teaches us to stop striving and trust that God is in control. That rest is ultimately found in Jesus, who is gentle, trustworthy, and cares for us.

We see this story in Acts when the disciples Peter and John perform a miracle and get negative attention from the religious leaders. Peter shows great courage when told to stop healing and preaching, declaring that he cannot stop sharing the Good News of Jesus. They refuse to disobey God’s command to make disciples of all the nations. Each of us has a story about Jesus that needs to be shared with others, so that all people can know of Jesus’ great love.

This week, we focus on reading the Bible in a way that lets it change us. By looking at a hard teaching out of Philippians 2, we will see how the commands of the Bible are always perfectly fulfilled in Christ. We’ll walk through the ways we can allow the Bible move us toward being more like Jesus and how our “work” is really God working through us.

This week's teaching focuses on why and how we pray. We pray to connect with God. God doesn’t care if we use the right words or have the proper format, He just wants us to talk with Him to grow in our relationship with Him.

What we’re learning this week:

As we begin our January Series called “Bible Study”, we start with a big question: What can the Bible do? What is the Bible supposed to do in the life of a believer? Why is it so important that we read it to grow? Students will be reminded of the power of God’s Word and encouraged to build a habit of reading it!

As we close out 2025 we’re going to look at three reasons Jesus came to earth. First, Jesus came to speak. Not only share words of wisdom, but to speak the very words of God, words which God expects us to follow! Second, Jesus came to show that there was nothing too humiliating for him to come close to us. He was willing to show how low he was willing to get – he wanted to show us how unashamed he was by his love for us. And lastly, Jesus came to save. Whether it’s dishonesty, envy, gossip, or addiction, we have all fallen short of the glory of God – that's just the reality of being human. We needed saving AND God needed to become man to save us by cleansing us from our sin.

Tonight we will see that Romans 10:9–15 shows that salvation is simple to receive; that is to believe in your heart, confess Jesus as Lord, and the best part is that it's available to everyone! Also, once we’ve received that hope, God calls us to share it so others can hear and believe as well. God chooses to work through ordinary people, like us, to share Christ to the world.
