2|42 Community Church - Brighton

All of us have things that we dread: going to the dentist, doing your taxes or sometimes getting up for work the next day. The problem with this is that dread can pose a detour. The good news is that Jesus dealt with dread as well, and He shows us the way we can make it down that road.   www.242community.com

Our lives are like a road, and we all want to end up at the same place.The problem is that along this road there are so many detours and roadblocks that it can stop our progress. Jesus models for us how to walk this road. What he experiences in the six days leading up to the cross is what we experience over our entire lives.   www.242community.com

Each of us has a story about someone in our life that let us down. You put your trust in someone, and they left you stranded on the road of your life. Jesus experienced this as well on His road to the cross. We can learn how to heal from the hurt of betrayal when we walk the way Jesus did. www.242community.com

Do you remember the first time you went to church: not knowing where to park, which door to enter through, the feeling of not belonging and wondering if the people around you were aware that you have never been there before?

All throughout the Bible there are examples of God calling on people to do great things. What is interesting is that they don’t all answer that call. What would you do if God called you to do something in His name today? Would you be able to say “yes,” or would you have some hesitation? This week we are going to see some examples of how God calls us to move. http://www.242community.com

There is a difference in praying often and praying on purpose. We want to be people who have intentional prayers which will bring about change in our lives and call on the greatness of God. This week we will look at how to be stretched in our prayer lives. http://www.242community.com/

77% of the adult population in the United States say they are following Jesus. The challenge with that is when you look at behavior trends in our country sometimes it’s difficult to tell if that is truly the case. Jesus tells us that love is the litmus test for followers of Jesus. The quality of your love for others will be the clearest indication to the watching world that you are truly a Christ follower. Join us this week as we encourage one another to live in love. http://www.242community.com

Whether it is to tackle that to-do list, spend quality time with the family, or even read your Bible, many of us feel as though there isn’t enough time in the day. Where does the time go? This week we are going to look at how we prioritize our time, and seek to live a purposeful, goal-oriented, spiritual life. www.242community.com

You want to have the best year yet? It will take you getting to know Jesus a bit more, and being like him a whole lot more. His teaching and his lifestyle are what give people the tools they need to read God’s word on their own. But how do we learn this, and more importantly, how do we live it? http://www.242community.com

Going into 2017 we believe 2|42 is going to have its best year yet as a church. But the only way that will be possible is if we as individuals have our best year yet. What do you think it would take for you personally to have the best year of your life so far? What different mindset, priorities, relationship strengths? Join us during the first 4 weeks of the new year as we talk about some of these areas and discover how to have the Best Year Yet.
