New Teaching Series: Influence
March 13, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Beginning Easter Sunday March 31st, 2013, Pastor Jason is beginning a brand new series, Influence: How I’m Wired to Make a Difference in the World. As followers of Jesus, one of the most influential beings in the history of the world, we are called to do more than complain about the problems and people in our own lives and in our world. We are called to make a difference. But how?
What if, like that first domino that starts the chain reaction of hundreds or thousands of toppling dominos, we could become people that begin a chain reaction with our friends and community?
In this six-week series, we will discuss
- The Power of Influence
- Leading Myself
- Envisioning My Future
- Activating My Gifts
- Deepening my Faith
- Engaging My World
- Reproducing My Influence
And of course, we will have the same great inspirational music you have come to expect each week at First Congregational United Church of Christ. And there will be fun, interactive experiences planned for your children. We hope you will be able to join us as we come together to worship and discover how we’re wired to make a difference in the world!
Enduring Love

For all those who hunger, all those who thirst, there is food and drink available. But, do we know what we hunger for? The Psalmist in Psalm 63 finds it in the place of worship.
Changing the Landscape

In Luke’s account of the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, Jesus reads from the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue, introducing the idea of the Good News, the Gospel. This Sunday, we hear those words for our selves and as an invitation to join Jesus in practicing and proclaiming the Gospel.

A Miracle

This week we engaged the story of the miracle of water being turned to wine at the wedding feast at Cana and imagined a miracle as a shift in perception from scarcity to abundance, from fear to love, or from unbelief to belief.
