Did You Hear What They’re Preaching About?

Preachers can sometimes experience creative lulls, so in the interest of providing inspiration, but not duplication (we hope), here are what some of our churches have been preaching about in recent weeks.

By the way, most sermons from these series are available at the respective churches’ websites (and we’ve provided links).

aTypical

“Society has taken an interesting turn on what’s considered typical; activity-packed schedules, strained relationships, overextended budgets, and piles of debt. If this is what typical looks like, then now is the time to break the mold! Join us for our new series aTypical, because typical isn’t working.”

I Love L.A. (the church’s 2019 theme)

“Nineveh was a great city filled with lost people. God’s heart toward that city in Jonah 1-4 shows us that there is no city on earth today that is too big or too far from God’s love and mercy. [With] ‘I Love L.A.,’ you will be challenged to love your city more than ever before; to do something to reach others; to have compassion for people the way Jesus did; and to lead people to streams of Living Water!”

Real Life Church (Valencia, Calif.)

MODGNIK: God’s Backward Kingdom

“MODGNIK or KINGDOM spelled backward is going to reveal the backward kingdom of God. Jesus never called us to be religious, but rather invited us into something much bigger. He invited us into His kingdom that’s not based on one church, but all churches, so that we all get to be a part of His great kingdom.”

Mountain Christian Church (Joppa, Md.)

Good Story

“‘Good News!’ That’s how the story about Jesus was introduced to the world. But is it a ‘good story’ like a tall tale used to amuse or deceive? Or a truly good story that you just gotta hear because of its importance and relevance? Like a journalist going after a good story, let’s open the book of Mark and see if we can discover who Jesus really is and why it matters.”
