Deeper Mission

Even Deeper Prayer

Rooted in God’s Word

Renew’s focus in 2022 is “Deeper Roots.” There are plenty of things that threaten spiritual growth but Jesus’ parable of the sower holds the key element to how we establish deeper roots in our life and faith. Join us as we examine our lives, our connection to Jesus, and hear what Jesus says about how we grow deeper in Him.

Christmas Eve 2022

One of the best things to do at Christmas is watching all “The Office” Christmas episodes. It’s incredible how there can be both joy and pain in every single scene! The office appeals so deeply to us because it shines a comedic light on what people are like and reminds you that you’re not the only one that has to function in stressful or difficult environments with challenging people. While it may seem trivial, the hope of Christmas is that Jesus brings light into the darkness, and as a person whose life is defined by Jesus, we can do the same thing at our work or whatever other exciting situations we find ourselves in.

Interestingly, the impact living next to someone can have on our lives. For some, our favorite people live next door. For others, it’s our worst nightmare as a next-door neighbor. Stranger still is that many of us have lived next door to the same person for years and still don’t know them at all. Yet, the Gospel of John tells us that in Jesus, God “made his dwelling among us,” or as Eugene Peterson said, he “moved into the neighborhood. In week two of our Christmas Party series, we discuss how Jesus saw those he lived life next to and how that could impact how we love and serve our neighbors.

One of the best things about Christmas is spending time with the family, but one of the hardest things about Christmas is extended time with our family! Every family shares its memories, traditions, history, and heartache, and somehow the holidays bring the best out of each of those categories. So as we enter into the Christmas season, we’ll talk about the hope that Jesus can bring to every family and the way Christmas might move us one step closer to the kind of family God wants us to be.

The practice of gratitude will naturally lead us to places where we see we are misusing God’s gifts. Where we have put them in a place in our hearts they do not belong, maybe where things are out of order. It’s really hard to be genuinely grateful for something and then abuse it blindly. What God does here is begin to set us free. And so the practice for us becomes one of letting go. These gifts which we have been gripping on to so tightly, we must let them go.

Gratitude and Money

Most of us allow our income to drive our spending. If you make it, you spend it. If your spending follows your income, you feel an incredible amount of financial pressure because you allow your money to lead the way. In week 2 of our series, we work to understand how knowing God can help us better understand how to handle what has been entrusted to us in every aspect of our financial lives.
