Olive Branch Community Church - Weekend Messages

Like Moses, we as mediators long to know God. Last week we left Moses ready for that big day: He is about to meet YHWH. Is he ready? Are we?

We are all invited to be in God’s family and how God wants to be near us all. It is important to God loves His creation and loves to be near people. But sin opens up a gap between Him and them. In this series, we’ll learn how important it is that we step into that Middle Ground so people may find the Lord.

With everything we see around us today, seeing the title of this message may increase your anxiety as a parent. But the goal is to help you find wisdom from God's word and point you to practical resources.

Sex can be a scary topic of conversation with our kids, but it is critical in this culture. If you haven't had the conversation, someone else already has, and more than likely it wasn't the truth or helpful. That's why we need to be first in.

Everyone wrestles with who they are and how they fit in, but today many parents are afraid of how their children are going to identify, and they are being told they are not to tell their children who they are – this is a lie.

Just like us, our children's faith will be challenged by many things. Let's be first in with them on things that can make us doubt what we've learned about God.

As we learned in the April 16 message (What About Science?), the Bible explains our world as much more than what we can see and touch. Let's look at how that knowledge can help us with our fears, or excitement, about artificial intelligence.

Would the existence of alien life make Christianity untrue? Does the Bible address such an idea? Let's dive into this topic for the answers, and even learn how it can lead us to see God more clearly in this world.

Today's topic may make you feel uncomfortable, probably because people you know think all Christians hate LGBT people. You may even thing that. Isn't that what the Bible says? How can that be true if God is love? Join us as we dive into this hot topic.

Has science disproven the need for God? That battle probably rages most over Genesis 1. So let's look there to learn how a scientist doesn’t need to drop science to follow Christ and a Christian doesn't need to stop pursuing science.

In this series so far we've learned what the Bible is, why it's important, and how to read it. Today we'll learn how to meet with God in it.

Originally, evangelicals were known as people of the Bible; reading it marked us as different from the rest of “Christianity.” But today we struggle with reading it too. So let's learn how to tackle this most important book.

Some see the Bible as s a bigoted book promoting genocide, slavery, and hate. Others find it too confusing to read or too old to matter today. Even Christians are more likely to read devotional material or self-help books. But guess who thought is was the most important book?

In this series we'll learn how to read the Bible and why it's relevant to us today, but we'll start with this basic question: What is this "book" written by 40+ authors over 1,600 years across 3 continents?

Just as God sent Israel on a conquest in the Promised Land, He sends us on a conquest within.

For most of us there is a division that haunts our lives: the secular and sacred divide. It can show up in our homes, at school, and especially at work. Let's see what God has to say about this.

These passages are a snapshot of how the 10 Commandments were to be lived out by the ancient Israelites. They are not meant to be duplicated by us in our time. But even so, they have a lot to teach us about loving God and loving those around us.

In this series we're learning how to apply the 10 commands. God desires his people (Israel and us) to know what is right in our time and circumstances so we can apply justice rightly. We'll be looking at murder, family relationships, personal injury, and even OSHA laws (!), but today we'll look at slavery.

There is something that happens when we face justice that makes us deeply uncomfortable. Fear is the biggest obstacle, but also the first step in drawing near, and closer to God through Jesus. Fear leads us to repent, not run, and that is where we find a love that then transforms our fear too obedience and confidence.

We’ve learned that enough is having our needs met and that happens when we produce more than we consume. We also learned we are to be intentional with our money. Today we'll learn that having more than enough should result in generosity.

We've defined "enough" as having our needs met and learned that happens when we produce more than we consume. But what does God say about when we have MORE than enough?
