Avenue Church

Our culture is consistently growing in ways that is making it harder to develop and strengthen our patience. Let's learn how to grow our patience with People and God's Purpose for our lives. 

Our thoughts are powerful. They direct our word and actions. They determine the quality of our life and relationships. We need to learn to Recognize, Remove, and Replace the thoughts that are contradictory to God's best in our life. 

Every act(ion), word spoken, attitude, value, and relationship is a seed planted that will produce more fruit later in life. If you don't like the fruit of your life, you need crop rotation. 

Worship is more than just 25 minutes in a Sunday Morning Service. We can only worship God on His terms and nothing else.  

The bible clearly states that there is an unseen realm that plays a role in what we experience in the natural. The two are interconnected. What we do in the natural moves the spiritual. What happens in the spiritual affects what we see in the natural.  

The average person lies 2x a day. It can be a simple as "I'm Fine." We usually lie to cover up for a lie about ourselves that we believe. Lies help us to protect ourselves from harm and present ourselves as better than we think we are. 

Gossip is on of the easiest traps to fall into. When we listen or share these dainty morsels we feel seen, heard, and connected. But the there’s greater damage than good.

Three things we can do in place of complaining because Paul encourages us to "Do everything without complaining." Complaining is easy. Doing the work to not complain is hard, but way more beneficial to you and those around you.

With all that is going on in our communities, nation, and world. The attitude we have as followers as Jesus is so important. We continue to Love, Pray, Serve, Share.

Knowing what and how to pray can seem daunting. We sometimes run out of things to say. Jesus gives us a pattern for prayer to keep the conversation going.

Posture is the attitude in how we approach someone or something. The way in which we approach prayer is just as important as what we say. 

God promises to always hear and answer our prayers. We may not like the answers, but “No” and “Not Right Now” are just as important answers as “Yes”.

As Jesus followers we all know we should pray...but it's kind of difficult at times. Knowing the purpose of prayer can help us understand the importance of it much more. 

We've all failed at following through with our promises and declarations to God. Don't let that stop you from continuing to follow Jesus. 

What if we really believed and lived As If God is for us?  

What does it practically look like to enjoy a day of rest that honors the Sabbath. 

The command to rest on Sabbath is probably broken more often than any other of the 10 Commandments.  Before it was a command to be followed it was a gift to be enjoyed.

It can be easy to focus on the differences and disagreements that we find in the church. But it's the unity of the church and in the church that can bring lasting change. 

Our Love for God and People should provoke us to fulfill the Great Commission. Creating Disciples is the greatest call that we can have!

Chances to be a good neighbor are rarely scheduled. " What we call interruptions are usually divine appointments.
