Spring Cypress Presbyterian Church

Is God’s work among us to protect and bless his people contingent upon the faithfulness of his people? What about when God, and concerns about God, seem remarkably absent? And when trouble comes, will we receive an imperfect human agent as the one through whom God brings relief? These are all questions raised by the book of Esther. Join us as we introduce this often misunderstood book!

In today’s passage we learn that God’s character and promises give us the assurance to proceed in the Christian life with great hope. Join us as we discover and marvel at the great grace of our Father!

The second coming of Christ has often been presented in such a way that it is a source of fear for Christians. Far from being afraid, Christians should eagerly await the return of Jesus because our destiny is inextricably linked to that glorious event. Join us as we discover what it means for us to be called children of the day!

Many of us struggle with feeling insignificant, as if what we do - and who we are - is too inconsequential to matter. Join as as we discover the great truth that revolutionizes our understanding of our place in this world!

Christians are called to be holy, yet oftentimes the idea of pursuing holiness conjures up images of legalistic rules and behavior. Join us as we explore our calling as well as proper motivation to fulfill it!

When it comes to discerning God’s will for us, believers are often paralyzed by indecisiveness. But the good news is that the circumstances of our life are not as important as the character of our life, and in this passage we are reminded that God’s will for us is related to our holiness… so that as long as we are pursuing this end we have great liberty in our decision making. Join us as we learn from God’s Word about his will for you!

In this transitional section, Paul demonstrates how encouragement has as its goal personal growth in godliness. Within Paul’s logic, love is the glue that holds together the Christian life in community. Join us as we consider the vital importance of encouraging one another to grow in personal holiness and the role we each play in each other’s Christian walk!

Spiritual warfare isn’t something that happens in the Christian life, rather spiritual war is the Christian life. Having had our eyes opened to reality of spiritual truths, we are reminded of the presence of an enemy who uses even common difficulties as weapons to attack our faith. In today’s passage we are reminded of the importance of the fellowship of believers to encourage and equip us in our daily battles.

We continue our study of this important passage by reminding ourselves that it takes a supernatural work for us to “see” spiritually discerned things for what they truly are.

Join us as we discover what it looks like to receive the Word of God as the Word of God!

When times are tough we need to be eager to notice the evidence of God’s handiwork in our lives. Unfortunately, we all too often fail to acknowledge the work of God as the work of God. In today’s passage we learn the distinction that exists between those who accept the Word of God and those who reject it. Join us!

Today, Easter Sunday, we focus on the resurrection of Jesus.

Instead of basing our sense of security on our ever changing emotions, in today’s passage we are encouraged to consider our assurance in light of confidence gained by means of the doctrine of election. Join us as we seek to be encouraged with assurance!
