RE.THINK Be the Church

We continue to look through the practices of Jesus and the early followers of Jesus. This week we explore the practice of Sabbath.

We continue with our discussion about Spiritual Practices that have helped Christians be with Jesus for 2,000 years now. Silence and Solitude could be one of the most counter-cultural practices we can embrace in 2023. RE.THINK Church 2920 W. 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

Let's talk about the night of Jesus' birth and why we celebrate it.   Maybe we just need to sit in wonder when we realize what Jesus' birth is really about.  

Jesus and Prepositions wk 2.    Is it possible to live for God and still miss the reality of the gift Jesus offers at Christmas?

Today we wrap up our journey through Ephesians.  Paul instructs us to take up certain pieces of armor in order to take our stand against our enemy's schemes.   RE.THINK Church  2920 West 73rd Pl  Merrillville, IN 

We are getting closer to the end of Ephesians.  This is the most popular part of Ephesians.   Jesus sent his disciples into the world to make disciples.  Paul instructs us to take our stands against our enemy, but how we do this is crucial!  

We tackle one of the most challenge passages in Ephesians.  Ephesians 6:5-9 'slaves obey your masters...' RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN

Today we discuss one of the most controversial passages in all of scripture. Ephesians 5:21-6:3. Does Christianity demean women and encourage slavery?

Let's drink from the firehose as we wrap up how Paul expects followers of Jesus to 'walk' like.   

As we finish up the Walk part of Ephesians we take a look into the Wisdom Biblical Literature that influenced Paul.   Paul encourages followers of Jesus to 'walk wisely'.  We start a conversation that will help us understand what he meant.   RE.THINK Church  2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

Today we continue to discuss how Paul expected followers of Jesus to live.   Today we discussed how we should walk as Children of Light.  

Today we started the message with a video Scary Mary .  The same clips can be used to communicate the fun loving Mary Poppins. We revisit Ephesians 5:1-5. We look at a fuller vision of Jesus' love. RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN

Ephesians 5:1-5 is the start of a chapter that some people see as a controversial chapter in the scriptures.  We'll work through this and hopefully gain some understanding of this passage in the next few weeks.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

We take another look at Ephesians 4:1 - 5:15 and discuss how does Paul expect Christians to walk in culture.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

We take another look at Ephesians 4.  Paul paints a couple of word pictures in this passage that adds so much to the context for the original Ephesians and for us in 2022.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

Tody we got hear Statnon's story.  He shared what God is doing in his life.   We also wrapped up our mini series on Spiritual Gifts.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410 

We paused again to look at Spiritual Gifts.   The Bible is one connected story pointing toward Jesus.  Today we discussed how to properly use our spiritual gift.  

This week Heather shares part of her story, and encourages our students who went back to school.     We continue to explore Spiritual Gifts from Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12.

We started into Ephesians 4 today.   Paul's writings are probably the most influential writings in human history.  They helped shape the most diverse, multi ethnic movement in human history.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

Paul talks about this transformational experience Jesus wants to take us through as we follow Him.   Ephesians 3:20-21.   Maybe it's time to reimagine what our live could be like following Jesus.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 46410

Today we explore what prayer is.  Why does Paul pray as a response to stress?   Ephesians 3:14-21.   We also explore what we can learn from children when it comes to prayer.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN 

Ephesians 3:14-21 we discuss Paul's response to issues facing the Ephesians.   We learn how we can respond to similar issues we face in 2022.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, IN  Sundays at 10:30 am

We continue to explore the mystery of Christ Paul mentions in Ephesians 3.   Why does Jesus choose to partner with humanity after we screwed up His good earth?   How should we respond when we are caught in sin?  That's what really matters since we all sin.   RE.THINK Church 2920 West 73rd Pl Merrillville, In  46410
