There is a lot of talk about thankfulness for all God gives during the month of November. Today’s story talks about what we give to God in return. A group tried to trap Jesus by asking him what they believed to be an unanswerable question. However, Jesus’ response has become popular. The episode raises some important issues about how we relate to God the Creator and God the Son. Join us today as we learn “What’s Heaven Really Like?”

What does it mean to be a saint? Trying to explain what saints do and why they matter is difficult in a deeply cynical world. Our definitions often make sainthood seem unrealistic and unattainable. However, today we celebrate saints. We honor and remember those who have gone before us into the church triumphant. Join us for worship today as we praise God for the difference saints make in your life.

Never give up! Many of us have adopted this approach to life. If we have a goal, we pursue it with all that we have. How interesting it is that when some of us don’t get what we want from God, we let go so easily. Jesus teaches us that we need to persevere in prayer. It’s not a guarantee, but we discover something unexpected even if God answers the prayer differently than we hope. Join us this morning for “Persist!”

The first thing Jesus did, in every version of the story we have about him, was to go out and find other people to come with him. Twelve disciples, called right from the beginning—not to worship Jesus or to promote his reputation, but to walk right beside him, to learn everything he knew, to do the same things he did. He sent them out, early and often, to practice healing and teaching, just like he was doing. They didn’t always get it right. Sometimes they got busy, or distracted, or afraid. Often, they forgot the instructions. Partnerships and joining others are essential parts of changemaking. Join us today for Together We Change the World.

If someone asked you, “Do you have faith?” how would you answer? It’s a loaded question. Many people believe in God. Many people claim to believe in Jesus. However, they don’t really show that faith in their lives. This is about more than going to church. Do your everyday actions demonstrate that you believe God is real and loves you? There may be several reasons for that, but faith plays a significant role in life. To better understand the difference faith can make, join us this morning to see how a “Little Seed Gives a Big Result.”

It is an incredible thing to know the love of Christ in your life. Many of us discovered that truth at times when we weren’t feeling very lovable. Where would we be if he hadn’t been willing to come to us during those moments? Jesus crossed social, cultural, and religious lines to love people. Jesus loves when it’s hard. He loves people the world says we shouldn’t. He loves when we’re at our worst. He loved boldly and calls us to do the same. If you want to understand the difference a love like that makes, join us this morning as we discover what it means to love boldly.

Most of us have been lost at some point. We understand the confusion and fear those moments bring. It’s not something any of us choose. We also know the other side. The fear and concern that arise when we can’t find something we value are feelings we want to avoid in our lives. Knowing this, can you imagine how God feels about people who are lost? God knows where everyone is. From God’s perspective, being lost means those who choose not to accept God’s love and will in their lives. The good news is that God works every bit as hard as we do to find what is lost. Today, you might experience the joy of what it means to be found. Join us!

Do you have a favorite food? There’s something that gets people excited when they think about it: the dish that everyone looks forward to during family gatherings, especially at Thanksgiving. Now that I’ve gotten your minds thinking about something other than God, let’s consider what God says in Isaiah: “Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.” This morning, we see Jesus talking about our appetites—not just our physical ones, but also the deeper desires of our hearts and souls. Jesus illustrates what happens when our hearts are in the right place.
