Sermon Series: The Questionable Life
Pastor Jeff Manion introduces us to the questionable life. Through this conversation, we see that our life should cause people to see Jesus through us. We are challenged to focus on one thing from the list of oneness, sympathy, brotherly love, compassion or humility.
Continue the conversation by exploring the Sermon Guide for reflection and practical next steps, or spend time with our Devotionals to carry God's Word with you throughout the week.
Pastor Jeff Manion walks us through Peter’s instructions about not repaying evil for evil. Through this conversation, we see that Christians should respond to insult or meanness in a way that is extremely different than the world. We are challenged to desire the well-being of those who hurt us instead of the undoing.
Guest Speaker John Dickson talks through Peter’s challenge to the church in modern-day Turkey. Through this conversation, we see the need for cheerful confidence to enter the fray and cheerful humility to lose well. We are challenged to treat others well, no matter how we are being treated.
Pastor Aaron Buer unpacks biblical sexuality. Through this conversation, we see God has called Jesus followers to counter-cultural sexuality. We are challenged to surrender our desires to God and to have a loving posture toward those around us with different desires than our own.
Pastor Aaron Buer teaches Peter’s instructions for honoring and respecting authority. Through this conversation, we are challenged to submit to, respect and honor those in authority in our government, at work and in our family. We are reminded that our honor for God guides how we respect and honor those in authority, including those we may not agree with.

The stories Jesus told and what they mean for your life today . Why did Jesus teach in stories? Because the deepest truths about God are often found in the ordinary moments of life. In the parables, Jesus takes everyday things, a lost sheep, a dinner party, a farmer planting seeds and uses them to show us what God is really like and what it means to follow him. This summer, we’re spending seven weeks in the parables from Luke’s gospel. Whether you’ve heard these stories a hundred times or this is your first time, you’re invited to come and hear them fresh. June 27/28–August 8/9
