Week 1 | Real People. Real Faith. | Matt Robinson

Topic: Peter
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
•
When something is real, it is of substance. It genuinely exists. ThroughoutScripture. When people meet the real God, everything changes. Although it might be easy to pretend that these people from Scripture are more than human, they are real people with real problems. When they meet God they discover not only does he exist, but that he changes everything. When we discover that God chooses real people to accomplish his purposes, our lives begin to change for the better too.

Easter at Parkside | Matt Robinson

Topic: Easter 2024
Scripture: John 20:13-16
•
During Jesus’ life a lot of people wanted to know who Jesus was. At his crucifixion he had a sign telling everyone that he was, “The King of the Jews.” When he rose from the dead, even his closest friends discovered a deeper understanding of who he was. In John's gospel account, Jesus called out to Mary Magdalene and she didn't recognize him at first. Once he called out her name, it clicked. She wasn't expecting to see her Rabbi at that moment, but there he was ALIVE. Jesus has offered each of us the opportunity to hear him call our name. This Easter we have a chance to celebrate that he conquered death and called us his own. At first we might not recognize or expect his voice, but he is surely calling to us all.

Solomon takes foreign wives and allows their foreign gods to clutter the land.

The Northern Kingdom falls to Assyria and the Southern Kingdom is carried away into Babylonian Captivity. When they are freed, they return to a nation and kingdom far less glorious than before and are still unable to keep their promises.

Week 4 | The Story of God | Randy Shivers

Topic: Land and Kingdom
Scripture: 
•
God brings His people, through their leader Joshua, into the promised land. When God’s people worship the gods of the nations surrounding them, God disciplines them through the attacks of surrounding nations. God raises up judges (or rulers) to rescue His people and call them to repentance. They beg for a king to be like other nations, and God gave them Saul. God raises up a new king, David, and promises that his kingdom will never end. The family that turned into a nation is now a kingdom. David’s son, Solomon builds a  temple to replace the tabernacle.
