Brookside Church

Why does it feel to some of us that God is distant? Coming into the time of year where we sing about Emmanuel - God With Us, the thought seems more at the forefront than ever. How can we experience the nearness of Gods presents?

In Session 3, we'll focus on the last 40 years of Moses' life. God's greatest aim for us is to live in the image of Jesus. Finish the journey well.

As we continue our weekend revival, are you hungry for God to move your heart? What is it that God is asking you to throw down to follow him? We get so caught up in how busy we are, but is God proud of that?

As we begin the weekend revival, where are you at in your relationship with God? Are you invested or have you checked out?

What is a disciple and what do they look like? If we can’t answer that question, then are we really doing it? This morning we look at the “S” in ACTS - Sharing the Good News.

Continuation of the A.C.T.S. series looking at Transformation.

Too many of us stop in our spiritual journey too early. We come to know Christ and commit to him, but for so many the journey stops there. We look at Peter's journey to see how the Holy Spirit Transformed him.

It is not good to be alone. God said that in Genesis 2. God made us to be in community. So much of this life should not be done alone. God has given us the tools to share the gospel, but we must work together. There’s going to come a moment when you’re in need.

Is there a group of people or a single person who you strive to be like? Have you ever looked at Jesus that way? As we continue our series, we’ve looked at awakening, but have you committed to following Jesus?

Have you ever been approached with an opportunity and you want to reap the benefits without the work and sacrifice? Do we approach Christianity in the same sense? When we’re convicted by God or faces with change, are we still willing to take the opportunity?

When you Awaken to a new reality, it often results in a major change. This can be a good thing!! When disciples make disciples that a major life event! Do we know what that looks like? If we don’t, then are we really doing it?

Do you ever find yourself longing for Simplicity in your life? It seems like there’s always something happening at work or at home to worry about. Life is so complicated sometimes, but is rushing around trying to get everything done the answer? What if we approached this differently?

We continue with our story of the Queen of Persia in the final message of the series. What’s the proper way to show gratitude? How do you show gratitude for God’s grace? How has he rescued you?

In times of distress or emergency how do you respond? Do you get quiet? Cry and scream? Pray? Eater asked for the around her to pray. Do you?

Have you ever wondered "Why me?" Why did God put me in this place, with these people in this time in history? There's people starving in several parts of the world, but we're so Blessed here. Why?

The King spent 6 MONTHS showing off the kingdom. Can you imagine? Part of the event was showing off his wife. However, The Non Compliant Queen says no. Why does this scene matter? And why did she say no?

Have you heard the old saying that 20% of the people do 80% of the work? God has called us to SERVE in the church, not just simply come be fed. Idleness is the devils playground. Jesus worked during his time on earth and gave, generously. Are you striving to do the same?

Today, we look at the Truth’s of Prayer. Prayer is an opportunity to partner with God. It’s a critical partner for strength and focus on following Christ. So in regards to prayer, where do you go from here?

Growing up we try many different things. We try sports, music, different foods and getting good grades. However, as we grow, none of that matters. What matters is your Perseverance in your and journey to find the Truth, to find Jesus Christ. Hold fast to the Truth.

Life can get difficult when you can’t tell the difference between a truth and a lie. There’s some things like buying a bad car, or purchasing a bad sandwich, but some situations can lead to eternal suffering if we can’t distinguish between the lies and the Truth.

Are you longing today for what’s true? Do you just want someone to be honest? It’s hard to find in this political climate and age of social media. However, The Christians received just that in Paul’s second letter. He starts by delivering to them the truth about their pain.

Have you ever wondered what kind of impact your having on others? You’re trying to be a positive influence, help others and volunteer, but is all this effort and energy really making a difference? We look in the final chapter of Haggai to see how he addressed this feeling.

Sometimes in life we have big plans. We’re going to be a star, have a wonderful family life or be a hero. But we keep getting tripped up on The Basics. Today we look at the third prophecy from Haggai; getting back to the basics.

Happy Fathers Day! Do you ever look at situation and think to yourself, “this isn’t how it’s supposed to be”. This could be in terms of relationships, marriage, your job or financial situation. Disputed what your eyes are telling you, despite the way you feel, God has one piece of advice: Believe.

All of us have close friends. People we spend a lot of time with, share memories with and develop deep friendships. There’s others that are close, but don’t have to spend a lot of time with because of profound moments. How does this relate to the house of God?
