The greatness of Moses cannot be understated. His birth and miraculous saving from infanticide foreshadows the larger work of salvation in the story of Exodus. What do we learn from the call of Moses in Exodus?

While we are mesmerized by the burning bush story, the presence of the Lord is communicated on a much larger scale than the bush. The call of Moses introduces us to the covenant name of the Lord. We will explore his name and the overwhelming blessing of his divine presence with his people.

Important to the Exodus story is the introduction and rise of Moses. God used a flawed individual to lead the liberation of his people. It is also important to highlight God's use of regular individuals in his purposes. Their actions demonstrate more power than the unnamed Pharaoh.

In this final sermon of 2014, we go to Mount Nebo. From this mountain Moses saw the Promised Land and this would be the last sight he would see. Moses died and the conquest of the land would commence. While it is beneficial to look back and remember, that cannot overshadow that God is moving us forward into new lands and new territories. Key Text: Deuteronomy 34

Since before time began

  no one has ever imagined,

No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you

  who works for those who wait for him.

You meet those who happily do what is right,

  who keep a good memory of the way you work.

But how angry you?ve been with us!

  We?ve sinned and kept at it so long!

  Is there any hope for us? Can we be saved?

Isaiah 64:4-5

In many ways, the American dream has deceived us into measuring up to standards that are unrealistic and unattainable. We consume ourselves with the pursuit of happiness and when that is not achieved, we are overcome with feelings of failure. This may also be a result of a poor self-image. In this concluding sermon, we will consider what it means to be made in the image of God. We will be encouraged to renounce the world's "view" and expectation of us, and be dared to live in God's image.

How do you react when someone cuts you off in traffic, or doesn't say thank you when you open the door? Why do we get so angry at the most minuscule things? Is there something within us that is unresolved that is the source of our anger? When is it right to be angry, and when is it wrong to be angry?

Most studies report that 1 in 10 Americans have suffered symptoms of depression at least one time in their lifetime. The number of those who suffer with depression grows every year. There are so many factors that contribute to depression and there is no one answer that will solve it. Does the bible have anything to say about depression? How do we, in the kingdom of God, deal with the growing number of people struggling with depression?

Money, careers, children, sickness and death are just some of the things that occupy our minds and cause us to worry. So then, why is Jesus insistent on telling his followers not to worry about even the simple things in life? Worry is often the fuel to other emotions and we will explore this feature.

The recent news regarding the Ebola outbreak has our nation griped with fear. It's the lead story on the local and national news. With the sensationalism surrounding zombie apocalypses, fear and hysteria continues to grow. Why have we become enslaved to fear? Is there an escape from the bondage of fear?

Famed Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann suggests that every Psalm falls in one of three categories:

1. Orientation
2. Disorientation
3. Reorientation

For the sake of this series we will focus of Disorientation.

We need only to survey the psalms of disorientation to discover that something is wrong and out of sync. This is a feeling that resonates with so many of us. In moments of disorientation, we need loving, embracing and a reassuring word. The introduction to this series will set the stage for those who are disoriented to fall in to the arms of love.

God called Abraham to join him in his mission to redeemed and renew the creation. In doing so God would bless Abraham, and through Abraham God would bless the world. As we conclude this series, we will explore how living "missionaly" in Character, Calling, and Community will result in a message of Blessing, Belonging and Belovedness.

Joining God in the neighborhood is a collective call to the body. It is not the goal of this collective experience to exclude members but to work together to hear the voice of God. The goal is that his message of love and reconciliation is communicated to the community.

The community in which we reside contains a wealth of needs. Perhaps one of the simplest ways of understanding our community is asking simple questions like, "How can we help?" Joining God in the neighborhood continues with listening to the answers and jumping into action to meet the needs.

We hear these words at the start of the race. The word "go" signifies it is time for action, time to do something and time to move. When Jesus gave the great commission, he echoed the call given to Abraham to leave his familiar surroundings to go outward. As a church determined to fuse with God's mission in the neighborhood, we need to step out of comfort, out of familiarity, out of the building and out into the neighborhood.

An understanding of God's mission may come from grasping that his incarnational mission as Jesus - The Word - became flesh and lived among us. Coming to grips with that God has uniquely placed us in this community initiates our journey to join in with God in mission.
