CURRENT TEACHING SERIES
Power Struggle
Jan 12 – Feb 2 | 10 AM
In our world there are powers at play. Often when we experience these powers they make us feel “less than”. No wonder that we are desperate to reach for power and we turn to any and all sources available to us – like the power of wealth, political power, the advantages we have because of natural talents we may posess, family or other connections that lend us strength, education / knowledge, access to technology, even our health gives us power. Our relationship with power is complicated. In this series we will study power from a scriptural persepctive to understand how people who desire to be fully-devoted followers of Jesus express, respond to, and submit to power. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Ultimately we will find that love is what happens when we share our power. Who is love? Jesus!
