GretnaLife’s Sunday Gatherings

Week 12 - Divine Dependence
Text - Joshua 5:14 
Keywords - Motivations, Autonomy, Purpose, Kingship of God
Big Idea of the Message - On the verge of attacking Jericho, Joshua is asked a question that ALL are ultimately called to answer. Our answer tells a lot about the focus of our hearts.

Week 11 - Little by little
Texts - Deuteronomy 7:21-23
Keywords - Little by little, journey, God’s presence, promised land, hope
Big Idea of the Message - Patience is difficult, especially in the face of trouble or on the verge of success. Sometimes, God moves slowly for our sake. It's easier to be patient when we recognize and appreciate that.

Week 10 - The Gospel of Grace
Texts - Numbers 21:4-8; John 3:14-17; Exodus 20:4-6; 1 Peter 3:8-10
Keywords - Gospel in Numbers, Look to Jesus, Grace, Bronze Serpent
Big Idea of the Message - The whole Bible points to Jesus and His Gospel. Sometimes it’s hard to see it in the Old Testament - but it’s there. Today’s message points out at least one of the places Jesus is seen in the book of Numbers.

Week 9: Rearview Mirrors
Text: Numbers 11:1-6; Ecclesiastes 7:10; 
Keywords: Nostalgia,Trapped in the Past, Future, Freedom, HOPE
Big Idea of The Message: Our past experiences inform our current experience. However, when we spend more time looking back than looking forward we have a tendency to wreck. God’s past work is meant to propel us into the future, not “protect” us from it.

Week 8 - A Wandering Army
Text: Numbers 1:1-3, 13-14; 2 Timothy 1:6-9, Exodus 6:6-8
Keywords: Fear, Trust, King, Inadequacy, Courage
Big Idea of the Message: We all face seasons where we feel like we are treading water, or walking in circles - but we aren't supposed to stay there. God has other plans, but we need to be willing to follow them.

Week 7: Prescription
Text: Exodus 39, Leviticus 1-7, Galatians 3:24, Leviticus 7:37
Key Words: Prescription, Leviticus, Sacrifice, Offering, Jesus
Big Idea of the Message: We have a tendency to look past the book of Leviticus, and other “prescriptive” texts - but when we do it costs us in our understanding of God and the sacrifice of His Son.

Guest Speaker: Nita Wilkinson
Week 6: More Than Enough
Text: Exodus 35:1-8
Key Words: Jesus, All In, Enough
Big Idea of the Message: Israel was passionate, they were either cold and without trust or so faithful they gave more than was needed. Jesus wants that same passion for us, He wants us to bring everything we have to grow His kingdom. 

Week 5: Never Far Away
Text: Exodus 3:16
Key Words:  Immanence, Identity, Attention, Abandonment
Big Idea of the Message: It can sometimes feel like the Lord is far from us, but this text reminds us that He is always near, always paying close attention, and will always be there for us to turn to. Are we looking?
