10-30-2011 Struggling with Ourselves
Behind all of our struggles with love and work lies the profound struggle with self and our choices. Nothing can be more complicated than figuring out one’s self. We attempt to deal with our inner conflicts by working on the struggles we’re having with the world around us. That doesn’t bring peace to our hearts. Eventually the war within us causes so much damage, we’ll find peace at any cost. How can we address the real issue? Join us as we study the life of Jacob in Genesis 31-32.

10-16-2011 Struggling with Love
Love is a blessing in our lives only when we receive it as a surprising gift, and never when we make it the fulfillment of our dreams. People will disappoint us, even our spouses. But, even though they (and we) are flawed, do we realize what we have? Can you see blessings in the people God has given you by looking past their flaws? Join Pastor Mike as we continue seeing how the story of Jacob and his two wives is one not of marriage but of love for you and your relationships.

10-9-2011 Rehearsing the Dream
Jacob tried to hustle the blessing of God and got fatigued. He stopped running, fell asleep and dreamed – a sacred dream from God – that was nothing like the one he had himself. Join Pastor Mike as we learn that we have not been abandoned in our search for a blessing – it will find us if we stop running long enough to hear His Word.

10-2-2011 Leaving Home
Have you ever gone back to your childhood home and found it’s not the same as you remember? Why? Home is a blessing, not a house. It’s a whole collection of experiences and relationships that defines your life. It’s not hard to say goodbye to a house but excruciating to say farewell to a life. Jacob in Genesis 27 had to leave that life, and that began a pattern of running for the rest of his life. Join Pastor Mike as we learn how we are on the run, as well, and what to do about it.
