All Hallows Eve Party

Join us this Friday, Nov 2 for our third annual All Hallows Eve Party! It's 6-11 PM at the Cryder's place (2307 River Road - just look for the mailbox and turn down the alley!).

There will be good music, great food and drink, with plenty of friends old and new. COSTUMES are optional, but welcome (clothing is not optional! :-)

This year we're doing a MEXICAN potluck - we're providing a big mess of enchiladas and a pony keg of home brew! We need you're help filling out the rest. So grab your favorite Mexican recipe (main, side, dessert, whatever), or something to drink, and come join us!

There will be a fire out back, so dress warm! (Or you can hang out inside too). Kids are welcome. Friends are too. Please RSVP on facebook if you're planning on coming!

The Economy of the Kingdom (Mark 12:28-34, 38-44)

We all know Jesus wants us to give away our money. But what does generosity look like in His Kingdom? How does Jesus define generosity and what does he actually expect from his followers?

How the Kingdom is Challenging (Matthew 7:18-27)

Almost everyone loves how inviting and relational Jesus is. But the truth of the matter is that his Kingdom (and moving deeper into it) is incredibly challenging. In fact, what we see this morning is that the Valley of the Shadow of Death is an important destination for every would-be disciple. What do you do with that?

How the Kingdom Advances (Luke 10:1-4, 17-24)

How does the Kingdom of God actually move forward in the world (back then and today)? And what's up with all the signs and miracles (healings, exorcisms, etc) that you see in the New Testament? Is the advancement of God's Kingdom related to the signs of the Kingdom?

How the Kingdom Goes (Luke 10:1-16)

What is Jesus' strategy for his Kingdom going forward? It's actually for us (disciples and the church) to be little bridges to the world. What that requires is for his Kingdom to push deeper into us.
