Southridge Community Church

All you need to worry about is being good with God, right? But what if your \"goodness\" with God causes someone else to stumble? What responsibility do you have for the \"goodness\" of others?

Who is greatest in God\'s eyes? Somebody\'s or nobody\'s? What if trying to be a somebody finds you on the outside looking in?

The Bible has been printed more than any other book. But is it still relevant? What can we know for sure about the Bible? How can this book anchor our lives?

God, Jesus, and... the Holy Spirit?! Is the Holy Spirit real? If so, what (or who) is it? Where can it be found? How can God\'s Spirit bring purpose and power to our lives?

Jesus is as famous as they come. But who was he and does it matter? Is he the same as God? Or was he just a man? How can faith in Jesus make a difference today?

There are as many questions as there are ideas about God. Does he exist? Does he care? Is he in control? How can we anchor ourselves through faith in God?

Following Jesus means living as a child of God. So what kind of Father is he? How does he relate to his kids? How can we follow the Son in the way of the Father?

The way of Jesus is said to be narrow, not easily followed, and more difficult than a camel passing through the eye of a needle. But then how can anyone live it? What does it take to go this way?

To experience the glory of God is to encounter God\'s goodness, truth, and beauty, even as it shines through your life to be experienced by others. But how do we come to radiate God\'s glory from our lives? How do we find it in the midst of our messes?

When you follow Jesus, where does it take you? Does life get easier or more difficult? Is the path well worn or treacherous? What does it mean to go his way?

There may be no idea more intriguing and more compelling than the resurrection of Jesus. This is the foundation of the church and the cornerstone of our faith. But what does this idea - this faith - mean for us today? How can the hope that Jesus is alive transform our lives?

We live in an \"us and them\" world where we fight for the rights, privileges, and advantage of people who think like us, believe like us, look like us, and live like us. But what about \"them\"? What about people who think differently, believe differently, look differently, and live differently? What about their rights and privileges? What if \"us and them\" could become \"us for them\", or better yet, \"just us\"?

As in Euchre, sometimes we think we score the most points by going alone. We think we have no use for others, or at least not those who we see as different or lesser in some way. But what if that\'s just plain wrong? What if those are the people we most need in the journey of faith? How can we learn to live the gospel as mutuality?

When you\'re friends with someone on the opposite side of a belief than you, one of you is bound to get hurt. So how do we respond? How do we hold our convictions with grace, forgiveness, and understanding? What does it look like to live the gospel as peacemaking?

We all strive to be right, to get to the top, and to make the most of ourselves. But Jesus said we should embrace the lowest standing. So how do we actually live this out? What if our life together mattered more than our rightness and promotion? How can we embrace the gospel as humility?

Jesus once said, \"When you throw a party, don\'t invite your friends. Rather invite the homeless, the outcast, the stranger, and the down-and-outer.\" But did he really mean it? Doesn\'t that seem a bit ridiculous? But what if we could truly embrace the gospel as hospitality?

God is doing some incredible things in the lives of families, marriages, kids, and youth. As a church family, we want to share and celebrate what he\'s up to. Join us this Family Day weekend to be together as a church family and be inspired by the difference God wants to make in our own families.

After all is said and done, between the miracles and the mysteries, who is Jesus? How can we discover his true identity? What if we could see him for who he really is? And if we do, could that change everything?

Jesus is known as the most famous religious figure. But the truth is: he didn\'t always get along with the religious people of his day. So did he come to start a new religion? Is following Jesus about never breaking the rules?

Sometimes it seems like Jesus \"works\" for some people but not others - that he only helps \'religious people\' or \'faithful churchgoers\'. But is that who Jesus came for? Is everyone else left out? Who else is welcome to the table?
