2020 was a challenging year; as believers trials can be good and come with a purpose. Join us as we explore two kings of Judah who faced trials but responded very differently. Trials will come in our lives, what is your life built upon? All the “things” will be washed away – Jesus Christ is the rock eternal, may our lives be built on Him.

Life for the Israelites during the time of Daniel held two messages: one that Jeremiah was preaching of destruction, and another message promoted in society, opposed to God’s message, of prosperity. God’s people believed the message that was easier to hear (of prosperity) but it was lies. Today we look at what it would have been like for the faithful, Jeremiah, and Daniel and what it means for us. There are still two messages today, God’s Word and that which is opposed to God’s Word. Which will we choose to believe and act in accordance?

As we look back at the work we did in 2020 and look forward to the work ahead in 2021, we consider HOW we will do that work. We, today, are builders together with Jesus Christ in His Church! The book of Nehemiah encourages us to build side-by-side; no one is working alone, we’re all building something bigger than ourselves.

Join us as we consider salt and the imaging Jesus used while talking with the crowds at the Sermon on the Mount. What did salt mean to the Israelites? Explore how having a deep, shared relationship with others – being “salt” in the ancient context – can positively impact our lives, others lives, and our testimony for Christ in our present day.
