Ok, the problem is most of life is some type of work… so most of our life we are either: Dreading what we’re going to HAVE to do, hating what we are HAVING to currently do, OR try to avoid doing the thing altogether for a large portion of our waking hours. Work becomes something that we just HAVE to do, in order to get to do the things we WANT to do. BUT, it doesn’t have to be this way. In this last segment of Adulting 101, we look at a better way to view work & responsibilities and still have life as designed: to the fullest.
We can all probably agree with this statement: One of the hardest things about being an adult is MONEY. But if we understand its purpose and how to use it well, it can make not just our life better, but many others’ as well. It’s why Jesus talked about money quite a bit… And what we will discover in his teachings is this: The purpose of money is to use it for a purpose. Listen in as we delve into Jesus’ words as recorded in Luke 12:13-34.
Last week we talked about how distractions entangle us and keep us from being better at life. One of the most entangling distractions is Poor Relationships! There seems to be a common denominator in all of our relationships: US! It’s true. And because relationships affect every aspect of our lives, we know that when things are going poorly, you can bet it’s going to carry over into every other thing. This week, we look closely at Jesus’ words in Luke 6 and some practical things we can do to follow Jesus and be better at relationships.
Nobody says, “When I grow up I just want to go through the motions and get through each day.” Yet, as the years go on and life happens, many of us end up ‘existing.’ Being an adult can be hard, but we can also do better! We can be successful and actually enjoy #adulting. Let’s discover how following Jesus can make our lives better and make us better at life.
– A few simple songs (usually a guitar and maybe a violin and percussion) to sing along with or just listen to. – A short message (similar to our YouTube/podcast style messages) – Communion together (all are welcome at the table, but you can also skip this). – A final song and a simple prayer. – Afterwards, an optional snack while you meet some folks.
All in all, should last about an hour.
How many people will be there? 🤓
We are a small church, like a majority of churches in America! Weekly we see between 25 and 45 people gathering in the main room. It just depends. If you want to hide in the back, you still can!
What do you offer for kids? 👨👧👧
We have kids’ classrooms for nursery/pre-k and for elementary kids through grade 5. Our volunteers are background checked and there are always open doors and multiple volunteers. You can also keep your kids in the service with you. It’ll be an hour long. Email us with any specific kid-related questions! info@yourcrosscreek.com
Do I have to believe in Jesus to attend? 🙋🏽
No. We created this church in 2017 to be a place where faith in Jesus can be explored, and isn’t demanded, assumed or expected.
We welcome your questions, your doubts, and the process of faith. You don’t have to believe to belong.
And we won’t make any assumptions: we promise to explain briefly what’s happening and invite you to join in. You can also sit back and just check things out.
