Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:1-17 (p. 984) Evan Muro, Small Groups Director
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” — HEBREWS 13:5 (ESV)
Morning Message: Guilt Doug Bunn, Associate Pastor Song of Reflection: O Come to the Altar Benediction: Hunter Ruch, Connect Team Leader You are invited to meet with members of our Prayer Team at the platform steps following the service.
The Bible has much to say about how we steward the resources God has entrusted to us. For every message series we will highlight one verse that relates to both the theme of the series and our reasonable response to give back to God, who gave everything for us.

t often seems that something is just not working when it comes to our discipleship journey. When our desire to continue moving toward Jesus is strong, but our actual movement is stunted, we may have hit an obstacle on our discipleship journey. When obstacles lie in our path, we can feel stuck, frustrated, and without joy. This is a universal experience. Every follower of Jesus encounters obstacles to movement. In addition, there are some obstacles that prevent people from even beginning a discipleship journey. Everyone knows what it feels like to hit an obstacle, and everyone can benefit from contemplating how to move through them with trust in God’s providence and an experience of His provision. In this new year, we will focus on common obstacles to movement for both disciples and skeptics. We will examine what the Bible teaches about moving over, around, or sometimes alongside seven of our most familiar and frustrating obstacles.
