Sunday Morning  - Summer worship: one service at 9:30 AM

Are spiritual urban legends messing up your faith?  A spiritual urban legend is a widely believed spiritual idea that isn’t necessarily true.   These beliefs or trite phrases are repeated so often that we assume them to be biblical and true.  Until life proves they are not.  Often given as quick answers to hard questions of life, spiritual urban legends can lead to feelings of betrayal, distrust of Scripture, and loss of faith.  Each week the rest of the summer we’ll expose a harmful spiritual urban legend on our way to discovering a truth upon which we can anchor our lives.

Sunday July 1 – Spiritual Urban Legends 

Pastor Mike Dyrdal introduces the series, looking at Matthew 5: 43-47, with an underlying theme:  “If I Were a Real Christian…”  then my life should be pretty good and orderly.

Sunday July 8 – A Christian Should Never Have Doubts

Matthew 11: 1-6 Even those closest to Jesus had questions and wondered about faith.  Should we even strive for certainty in our faith?

Sunday July 15 – Banned from the Bible?

How did we get our Bibles?  Who decided what books were included?  Colossians 1: 15-20

Sunday July 22 – Tell Me Why

Rev Harold Biederman takes on the spiritual urban legend “Everything Happens for a Reason.”  Deuteronomy 3: 19-20

Sunday July 29 – If Were a Better Christian, My Life Wouldn’t Be Such a Mess

Rev Shirley Duncanson affirms that faith is a work in process.   Psalm 37: 23-24 & Philippians 1: 3-11

Spiritual Urban Legend messages in August: 

• “Soul Mate?  There’s Only One Person for You?” 
• “God Doesn’t Give You More Than You Can Handle”
