Gos Vs Science | Brent Simpson

East - West, Ethical - Immoral, Hero - Villain, God - Science??? In recent history, society has taught us that God and Science are opposite, opposed to each other even. But is that true? Does Science dispute the claim that God is real? That He created the heavens and the earth? Is God upset with Science? Today at ARISE we will answer these questions and more as we talk about God and Science.

HELP! I'm Healing From Playing It Safe | Keren Emmanuel

If you’re a human, you have emotions. Some hide it well. Others wear it on full display. The truth is we all have emotions. And we all handle them differently. How do you handle yours? Is it holding you back from achieving all that God has for you?

Join us as we learn about certain emotions that can keep us from receiving all that God has for us.

 

Matthew 14:21-33

Can you see what the spirit is doing? | Brent Simpson

Some people take vitamin B shots. Some people take vitamins for increased energy. Some drink healthy concoctions of blended fruit and vegetables for energy, while others drink 5 Hour Energy or Red Bull. And most people drink coffee.

The fact is that we often need little “pick me ups” to get you through your day.

Tomorrow at Arise is a day that will increase your spiritual energy, build up your faith, and “give you wings” to fly above your problems! Comment below with your favorite "pick me up" drink, vitamin, or food.

The Unchanging God | Brent Simpson

In the early 1900s George Riddell acquired the sensational London newspaper The News of the World. Meeting British journalist Frederick Greenwood one day, Riddell mentioned that he owned a newspaper, told Greenwood its name, and offered to send him a copy. The next time they met, Riddell asked Greenwood what he thought of The News.

"I looked at it and then I put it in the wastepaper basket," said Greenwood, "and then I thought, 'If I leave it there the cook may read it,' so I burned it."

Many modern Americans struggle to trust the news. Tomorrow at Arise we will wrap up the Hebrews series with a powerful message examining the one truth we can always trust!

 

Hebrews 13:8-9

On Your Mark.Get Set. | Keren Emmanuel

A Canadian runner, Jacqueline Gareau, led the women during the 1980 Boston Marathon, only to find Rosie Ruiz wearing the traditional victor's laurels when she crossed the finish line. It was later confirmed that Ruiz hadn’t run the entire race, but cheated by taking a short cut.  In life, there are no short cuts to the finish line, just a straight path. If you want to learn how to finish strong and well, come to church tomorrow!

Hebrews 12:1-4

The Cost Of Following Jesus | Brent Simpson

Malcolm Muggeridge once wrote, “Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experiences that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful with particular satisfaction. Indeed, I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my 75 years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my experience, has been through affliction and not through happiness.” Life is not always easy. But through Christ you can overcome every adversity that life throws at you!

America The Beautiful | Brent Simpson

In 1893, at the age of 33, English professor Katharine Lee Bates climbed to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado and gazed at the incredible beauty. She wrote, "All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse." Suddenly, in the midst of this magical moment a poem began to rise in her soul. And it was there amidst God’s incredible creation that these words came to her: “O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountains majesties, Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee…”

America the beautiful was published two years later on July 4th, 1895 and has been a beloved American anthem every since.

Tomorrow at Arise we will examine both the Bible and American history to discover what makes America beautiful, and why “God shed his grace on thee.”

Milk To Meat | Pete Kramer

I have to come back tomorrow? A boy comes home from his first day of school, and his mother asks, “What did you learn today?” “Not enough,” the boy replies. “They said I have to go back tomorrow.” Life is a nonstop lesson in growth. In fact, one of Arise’s core values is Growth: If you’re not growing you’re dying. Let’s talk about that growth here at Arise!
